Hi Carole, I was sorry to read your post but relieved to hear that you are in one piece even though you are bruised. I’m glad that you have a plan of action. Tomorrow will be better. My wife and I are at a big music festival so there is a lot of booze and other “stuff”. We are pacing ourselves as there is a lot to do but…

Glad to see that you are back Carole @Walela617. I’m plodding along at 50/50 which seems about the best I can do at the moment!

Hello everyone, I’m still here and reading all your posts. The month of May wasn’t terrible on the booze but not particularly brilliant either. I’m setting myself some small goals, including for exercise too, and hope to get a routine going in June. Best wishes, Chris

Hello everyone, I’m still here and trying to stay AF. I have given myself a severe talking to and have found some more quit lit to read. I’m hoping to rack up a good few days from now on.

Hi Carole, I need to do a reset also. I celebrated my birthday with a restaurant meal and alcohol. I'm hoping to get back on track from this weekend. I know what you mean with the social media too. I've been thinking about that for a while and need to implement a cull! All the best!

Sober Spring going well with 7 days AF under my belt. I am aiming not to drink alcohol on my birthday coming up on Monday. That will be some kind of record I think.

Hello everyone It’s been a beautiful Spring day here in London. The Sober Spring challenge kicks off today in the UK with support from Alcohol Change UK, the charity that runs the Dry January challenge. Sober Spring runs for 92 days through to 20 June and is intended for those wishing to reboot if they fell back into old…

Hello everyone, Back on Day 3 again. Went out for a couple of meals while visiting my son in Cardiff over the weekend. Saturday was St. David's Day, the patron saint of Wales, so it was very lively and plenty of daffodils on display. Didn't overindulge despite the great atmosphere and sunny weather in the capital city, and…

Hi Carole, Thank you for keep saying "Hi everyone"! I too fell off the wagon again and am back on Day 3. Also off this weekend to see our son in Cardiff so there may be some eating out involved.

Thank you for your kind words Carole. I agree that it is hard to focus on anything when physical pain is involved but I’m feeling much better and am finishing up my AF evening. I must confess that I’ve never heard of “Hug an Addict or Alcoholic Day”. I will check if it’s a thing in the UK or occurs on a different date.…

Hello everyone, I have been stop/starting over the past couple of weeks but am recommitting to a sober streak from today. Same goes for weight watching too but that’s for another board discussion. Was feeling sorry for myself after rolling my ankle while out for a run but am on the mend now. Best wishes.

Dry January streak broken :( Day 23 was safely under the belt but a stressful situation with a family member caused both my widfe and I to cave on Friday 24th. Then on the 25th, some friends had invited us over to celebrate Burns Night. Originally, our plan was not to drink alcohol, but we were still stressed out and ended…
