Hello everyone, I am still here and back on the AF bus. I just need to stop getting off it before the final destination! Anyway, I’m settled in my seat for now. Best wishes

Another round of family birthday celebrations over the weekend derailed me but I am back on the wagon. Thank you everyone for posting here.

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…

Hello everyone, 14 days AF and effectively at the halfway point of Dry January. I think it’s going pretty well as all the reading of quit lit etc seems to be paying off. And when I get those niggles in the early evening, I just dig out my list of “whys” and let go of any thoughts of drinking. My energy levels have improved…
