I've been doing a bit of thinking. I don't want to give up what I enjoy. Where is the control in giving something up that has caused problems? The control comes from being in the same situation but changing things there, not in the lifestyle, in my opinion. So I must say I have had a few beers tonight. I was working 06:00 - 14:00 today and with the weather like it was, coupled with my thinking, I've opened up some beers. This means I won't reach my current target, however, I'm going to amend my target to 22-23 days in the month. At this early stage, I'm going to allow myself weekends (Friday and saturday evenings) for a drink - a "cheat night" if you will, but anything throughout the week is a no-no, and I heartedly believe this is the best approach for me.

I hope everyone's had a good day. Keep it up everyone!

I'm a cutter-down too jimmy so I understand exactly where you're coming from. For me it's all about being in control which is a mixture of AF days and also not having so much on planned drinking days. I don't think of it as cheating at all. My aim was to be able to do what 'normal' people do and not just open a drink automatically every night and often drink to (embarrassing:o) excess.


6 AFDs please Shaggy.
