20/28 please

May not manage anymore after today give The plans.
I feel quite surprised that even trying hard I've still had a drink for 1/3 of the days in December. Need to set a realistic target for January.

8/10 for last night, not going to make my target now but pleased that haven't had a hangover at all in December due to cutting down if not cutting back altogether, think I might have finally found my stop button!

Thank you for the lead, I'll go digging.

I'm currently also using Soberistas but I'll go with help wherever it is.

Soberistas is brilliant, absolutely brilliant and I read reams and reams from it before I took the plunge. I'm not sure why I didn't use it once I'd made the decision to stop, but if I ever had to do it again I'd use it like a shot. The great thing about getting support on line is that it's all available, so you can organise your own pick and mix selection that suits you. We're all different; I used this thread, Belle and borrowed every single book the library had on stopping drinking and read them all, cover to cover.

You're very self-disciplined Cathy Bird - I'd never be able to stick to an annual target. I was the child that always spent my pocket money on sweets the day I got it and then languished for the rest of the week watching my brother eke his out like a miser, scoffing and chomping in front of me. I still haven't learned, though.

29/31 please, Shaggy.

Hi everyone,
Hope you all had a great Christmas.
I have done 27/28this month. I only had one brandy and it didn't really seem worth it.
Can I have 31 for January please Shaggy

Honey Bear, you are quite seriously the only person ever in the course of history who has described me as "self-disciplined" :rotfl: but many thanks - it's really heartening - maybe I have got better over the years? I can't resist sweet things at all either, in childhood or now, and am quite certain the only way I managed to meet my AFD targets this year is down to this thread. It tips you over that line somehow and so along with everyone else I'm very grateful to it and Shaggy, and people like yourself who do so much to keep the thread together. I feel I owe everyone on here a huge thanks!
