21/28 for me today please although I had a momentary "sod it" thought at dinner time after a day that included 4 hours driving and trying to keep up a stream of chitchat - never my strong point ... Thankfully there's no wine in the house, so I stayed on track!!
Sorry for the emotional and practical troubles @Dryjan
"This too shall pass"What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?5 -
@Dryjan sorry to hear you are having such a difficult time, stay strong - you are doing brilliantly to have so many AFDs despite everything.
17/20 today please Cathybird.5 -

In my experience, Leffe, Cobra and Guiness are the best! (AF, obviously!). 24 please and wind-free (weather!).Justcrackingonwithit said:20/25 @cathybird - thank you

22/28 for me today please. Friday's are easy, as fish'n'chips without a cup of tea just won't do!What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?6

Hugs and sympathy for you @dryjan
17 for me please Cathybird. Obviously not going to meet my Jan target, but a really significant reduction from having a glass with dinner most nights.
I quite like Becks Blue now, always have some in the fridge as my first option.My mortgage free diary: +++ Divide by Cucumber Error. Please reinstall universe and reboot+++

Thanks to everyone for the support here, it's a lifesaver and I am so grateful.
Me and hubby had a good talk last night and are at least on a civil level, best I can hope for in the difficult times ahead.
Managed another night so 8 AF now please @cathybird.
No intentions of being AF tonight as am out with a friend on the town! Will be many beers and tears!6 -
21/25 for today please, Cathybird x5
