Do you have a pool close by? Swimming is a great none weight bearing cardio option.

17 days AF for January. :) This was being reported quite a lot on the UK news this morning. I'm guessing a lot of Countries will be moving to lower limits and advice not to drink at all based on the science. However, as someone who's usually hits or gets close to the recommended weekly limit on a daily basis I don't think…

Thanks for posting these Tulips. I found them both interesting reads and I'd never have come across them otherwise.

16 days AF for January. If anything I think it's getting easier this time around so far. It seems I'm 100% better at abstinence than moderation and both are much easier when we are both doing it LOL It'd be nice to think I can make this my new normal. Drinking maybe a couple of times per month as a conscious decision…

Great Attitude LL! Nice work ignoring the temptations.

Georgia is SIL Sister in Law? You could always freeze the Prosecco to make a Prosecco Sorbet! That way you can keep it in the freezer until you friends/family round that are up for a boozy dessert.

Another AF weekend under my belt and now 15 days AF for January. Not really craving booze right now which is good. I has a couple of AF beers across the weekend but seeing as they are not far off the calories of a normal beer I'm trying to stick with diet soda/fizzy water. They're good to have in the back pocket though and…

Not at all caught up on all the weekends posts from you guys. Will try and do that tomorrow. A full 14 days AF now which feels good. Happy Sunday.

12 Days AF for January and still going strong. This time around things seem to be going really smoothly. I have been snacking a little bit in the evening though which I need to knock on the head. I guess my body is craving the calories I'm missing from the booze.

Good book but a really sad ending when the colonists end up accidentally leaving the greatest Empire of the time :D >:)

11 Days AF for January..... Sooooooo much easier with my wife joining in :)

Look on the bright side lmlmrn "Soreness is just weakness leaving the body" as my old Troop Sergeant used to say :D (Mind you it was a lot easier to buy that line in my 20s as apposed to pushing 50 LOL)

How is it Wednesday already? :D 10 Days AF out of 10. Still going strong. ;)

Just a quick flying visit as work is pretty crazy. 9 out of 9 days AF. Will be 10 by the end of the night. I bought at few AF beer yesterday. Leffe Belgium Blonde and Morretti Italian Pils. In the end I didn't even have one and stuck to fizzy water with sugar free squash. I hope you all smash your targets today (o:

@dawnbgethealthy good luck with the ankle at work dawn I hope your not on your feet too much.

So another week begins :) 8 out of 8 days AF for January couple more and I'll be 1/3rd of the way through. Starting to think about how I tackle the rest of 2023. Last time i did a month AF I then dived straight back into my old ways once I'd completed the challenge to myself. @RockinRobyn672 's point that "just one drink…

So that week 1 of 2023 completely booze free :) I'm really chuffed, even more so as my wife is sticking to it too. 7 Days AF for January.

Amazing picture MM it must be wonderful to be able to crate art like that!

Wow 3 hours of traffic really sucks!

Happy Weekend Everyone! Made if through both a Friday and a Public Holiday without drinks. We took down the Christmas tree yesterday and all of the decorations and that's something we'd have definitely done with a bottle of wine on the go usually. Yesterday it was sparkling water with Cloudy Apple cordial (squash). So we…

Friday already - where did the week go! It's a holiday here in Sweden today and the one I think is the biggest waste of the whole year :D Give me one in the Spring or Summer not a couple of days after New Years when it's snowing! Pifffff to Epiphany. 5 Days out of 5 AF for myself and my wife for January so all good. As…

Morning All! May today bring you all the willpower your need and all the benefits you deserve ;) 4 days AF out of 4 for January. I've now beat my 2022 total for December, November and January through August :# That quite a sobering realization! (Pun intended) My BH is also still on track with me too which is excellent.

Oh and I now 3 for 3 AF.

Don't feel bad about feeling sorry for your self when dealing with such a big life issue. Both my Mother and a very close friend have been through Breast Cancer and have come out of the other side, its not an easy journey but the treatments are excellent now . You come across as a brave, strong and resilient person. You…

@Lilylady3k Thanks, I'm very positive about this month and like you say if I can support my better half to steer clear too it'll be easier for both of us. @joans1976 I appreciate the welcome back. I'm not sure about business travel next, which is nice for a change, but we'll take a vacation around Easter. Right now it…

Hi Everyone I'm Andy from Stockholm, Sweden. Happy New Year! I've posted on these threads on and (mostly) off for a couple of years. I going to try and keep posting this year even if I'm drinking regularly (which I hope I'm not). I managed 45 days AF in 2022 (all in Sept-Nov) and when I do drink I drink way too much :/ My…

November 2 days AF BTW

For you of course Dawn :) I'm actually quite bad at posting photo's even on my own social media :D We split our time between Istanbul and North Cyprus. Istanbul is a crazy mad boiling pot of 30 million people! But there was a lot of history I wanted my daughter to see. Cyprus was chilled and wild. Good food and (cough)…

Hi I'm Andy from Stockholm, A bit late to the month but better late than never! 2022 January-July ZERO days AF August 10 AF (The last 10!) September 30 AF October 3 AF November so far 1 AF I got back from vacation Monday and managed to stay AF yesterday so at least I'm up and running. I'm aiming for 10-15 days this month.

I FINALLY made it to 3AF days in October :D Which means 14 days drinking....The sales conference in Malta left me with a very happy sales team but a fairly sad Liver :# Will post some picture of Malta when I get chance it's a lovely place. Now I fly off to Frankfurt tomorrow so more drinking... Couple of quick things. 1.…
