Sorry for the newbie question but what does TF stand for- Totally Free (0 days drinking) ?

TF is Target Free @SpireCaptain if you'd prefer not to set a target.

@SpireCaptain it means "target free" (so you don't set any specific target for the month, you just see how you go). I'm going TF next month because I'm away for most of the month so I am hoping to rack up a few AFDs but there will be quite a few get-togethers with family & friends so not sure how many are realistic.

I'm sticking at 23/25 as I had wine today and will do the same tomorrow as I am meeting a friend in a pub.

I didn't meet my target for January but I did not drink alcohol for 75% of January. It was a hard month for me and I could easily have had fewer AF days. That said I want to do better for February. I am still going to go for a 25 day target. Thank you cathybird

Another day today for me and my last for January as it's my mates birthday tomorrow and that most definitely won't be AF!!

January AFD results updated here and annual results updated here :) :)

I raised the issue of the problems with the new text editor on a thread posted for that purpose and it was suggested we use the new table format to display the totals and emojis. I will give this a go, but unfortunately the table format has one major drawback, which is that you can copy and paste the table, but not the images that are part of the table, so I will have to manually add the emojis back into the table pretty much every single time I update the totals. This will probably be hugely cumbersome so I'm going to keep the linked list going for now too and see whether there's any other better way round it. The annual challenge might have to stay link only for now just while I get my head round it. :)
