Count them up NINE flippin' weeks since my last drink. I have started fishing again and love it. I have started smoking the odd cigar which I am not proud of but can take it or leave it so am going to leave it ( mum still quite poorly and I needed a stress fix - I picked up tobacco instead of booze but I am not worried as I know I can control them) so 63 days. 70 days this time next week and ten weeks is a great target. I wobbled this time last week and nearly fell off the wagon so tonight we broke the Friday routine and didn't go the pub for tea. Hence early evening post. We have a big supermarket curry waiting to be scoffed and I am the man to do it justice. Have a lovely AF weekend one and all. KEEP ON KEEPING ON!:h

You know I look forward to you Friday night updates. Good for you giving the boozer a swerve tonight. Sorry to here your Mum's not doing so great thought.:l

Which curry did you get, the hot and spicy or the mild and girly.

Curry

Big fat red hot piri piri chicken with pilau rice, naan bread and mango chutney. No need for the lager. Got a nice cup of tea and some posh coffee for later (not to mention a magnum ice cream) I may be sober but god knows I am getting fat with this huge appetite I have rediscovered.:H

Ach this is a definite weight loss plan. It's the 4th April and I fly over to Dublin to meet half the Army crew again on the 4th June so they'll see a new slim me.

Get yerself over. We're all going to watch Anon run the Dublin mini marathon. Bring Mrs Softy, we're quite nice you know.

That sounds like a great incentive to get fit - you should go ultra ambitious and join the marathon as well

Hi Softy. Good to see your Friday check in. We started the same time- I am day 67 so I always look out for your Friday posts. Hope to see you again next Friday. Enjoy your curry. Maybe with all that fishing you're doing you could make a fish curry!

Thanks

67 is very impressive well done! I fish in the local canal - believe me when I say you wouldn't want to eat anything that comes out of it - not even in a curry!

Ok then I will pass on the fish curry! Beachbump you will be posting 60+ days in no time. In the meantime why not use this to work out how many sober heartbeats you have had?AA History Sobriety Calculator

That'll be a very large NO, ta very much. Drinking hot chocolate in Butlers will do me and waving as she goes past.
