No need to hesitate about posting @Season_of_Mist and I’m sure nobody on here would think that you are crowing about your achievement. You have done amazingly well and it is good to know that it is entirely possible to reverse the habit of drinking too much for too long.

Thanks sukeyboo, I did of course notice that you demolished your target this month.

After posting all the above I realised that I have plans this weekend and will likely break this long, dry spell. Has to end sometime but I’m happy with the six months AF.

A lovely post from you season_of_mist, it's uplifting to hear of your achievement. And I think this thread is all about honesty, otherwise we're only fooling ourselves. Thankyou for sharing x

October totals updated here

@Season_of_Mist well done - 200 days is really quite an achievement

Well done @Season_of_Mist and I would say I'm not the only one who finds others' success motivating.

I started out with fairly low targets, and gradually increased the number of AF days. It helped me break the habit.

Today's total is 27/25 for me please.

@cathybird thank you, you’re correct! I miscounted and it should’ve been 20. This means 22 days today. Full of cold and fuzzy head is my excuse 😁

Declaring early on 16/10 please @cathybird
