Hello all

This is a thread for people who have decided that life is much better without alcohol!🤩 These threads were started by @Drybird, and they have changed the lives of many people.

Some posters on these threads have been sober for a long time, and some are only just starting. We are a very friendly and inclusive bunch and we are always excited when someone new joins the thread. The only thing we ask is that our posters have given up alcohol completely. Talk of moderation can be triggering for some people, so this thread is not the right place for that (there are other moderation threads🙂).

We are a supportive welcoming bunch. No question is ever to “ silly “ and their is generally someone around if you are struggling

So just come here to chat or vent or check in . Whatever you need as you ride the rollercoaster of an alcohol free life smile

T@Champoopapihank you to for hosting the last thread 💜

And here’s to the next 40 pages grin

Just checking in. Started in May so in to my third month. Felt great a few weeks ago but things have been trickier again recently.
Presently staying with family in a house full of chilled white wine. Feeling tempted and pretty grumpy but always pleased the next day not to have had a drink.

Hope everyone is doing ok.

Checking in here! I'm not far off a year now and just got back from my first dry holiday. AF booze is making this possible for me. Most places on holiday had AF beer, even BA on the flight out! Makes it so much more enjoyable to have a drink that tastes 'grown up'. DH bought me a bottle of AF wine list night and even he was impressed with the taste and quality. I'm so glad to be AF for this long and can't see myself returning ever! I love feeling in control at all times with no drunken behaviour to worry about and no hangovers. Everyone who is finding it tough - stick with it xx

That's great newmum. You sound like you have got this.

Just a heads up that this is the old thread. Link to new one a couple of posts back. See you there. 😊
