Hello Cathybird, can I rejoin the thread please and will you put me down for 20 AFDs for August. I've not been great with the drinking and I need a fresh start. There's been very few AFDs in the past months and I haven't kept track. Feeling very grateful to know that I can come back here and no one will judge. I actually hate my relationship with drink, I'm not a social drinker, far from it, I'm always very lonely when I drink because I drink by myself (probably to hide from my family and friends how much I drink). Feeling a bit sorry for myself which is stupid because I bring all this on myself.

Welcome back @oceandreamer - there is definitely no judgement on here - I am sure we have all had our struggles for time to time, I know I certainly have.
16/10 for today please @cathybird

@oceandreamer welcome back and we've all been there (well I have) xx. I've added you to the August list. It's great that you're back and I hope if there's anyone else lurking perhaps who's been part of the thread previously that they know it's fine to come back any time, much better that than not.

Thankyou for the kind comments, this thread is probably the only place I can be honest about my drinking.
You're right Vanlady!
