Well done @redo you've had a very tough year but you have a lot to be proud of. You alerted me to setting a yearly target. I would like 300 AF days for 2026
I am on 22/25 now.
I look puffy and blotchy and I didn't think I had been drinking very much. My body thinks otherwise
I want to echo @redo and thank you for all the work you do to keep us accountable. Happy New Year to all!If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them

Shiny new 2026 thread up and running here
I know it's not 2026 yet and we've got three or so days to go, but there might be people who have just had quite a boozy festive season and are looking for a way to do differently going forward. 1 -
25/25 for me today please. I overdid it on Christmas Day and again last night, which reminded me of how yuk the day after feels!
Hope everyone enjoyed their Christmas.What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?3
