    Had 2 glasses of wine and hit stop again.

    Today i plan to make my 21 day smiley. I haven't got any alcohol in so fingers crossed.

    We have some amazing scores this month despite it being summer. Well done everyone.
    Live for the moment and plan for the future

    King S6 There may be some confusion about targets being competitive because I have a monthly target of every day being a non-drinking day and am still amazed and very thankful, more than two years on, that I've made it each month. There have been a few other people who've joined the thread during that time who said they wanted to stop drinking completely but we seem to have lost touch with most of them. Target-free, target specified, made it or not, as far as I know everyone's welcome. I think of it as a collaberative and co-operative thing, and the bottom line is it's a support thread as it says in the title.

    31/31
    please, Shaggy.

    Morning all! 16/15 for me please :)

    KingS6, I have been thinking over what you said and I suspect if the thread was a competitive thing, it could become a little tiresome, you know? I find it supportive too. There are many who do more days off than I do and some who do less but I don't really worry about it, just keep on with my 15-day target each month. Sometimes a little competitiveness can help people achieve things, on MSE too, but I'm not sure that is the case here on this thread. But I hope you're not feeling we've ganged up to disagree and I can see how you might assume that.
