5/20 for tonight please.

I'm finding it easier the more days that go by not to drink.

By the looks of things most people are doing well this month :T

Where's Alex and what have you done with him

Seriously, you must be thrilled. Very well done. And keep going.

Sounds like a few corners are being turned as far as relationships with alcohol go, not wishing to put the kiss of death on these things, we know it's ongoing.

:rotfl: .

I'm rather pleased with myself in all honesty. Whilst I do not wish to give up alcohol altogether, I am trying to live by my doctor's advice of saving it for special occasions given my health problems, which incidentally I am trying to take more seriously in an effort to beat my demons once and for all.

Also declaring 6/25 for today.

Very early shout for tonight please Shaggy 7/26 have wised up to the fact that an alarm call at 5.45am is much easier to handle after a sober night! & because it doesn't take as long to wake up Ive even managed to squeeze an extra 15mins in my pit (alarm use to be 5.30am 5.45 sounds much better)
Is it me or have some people disappeared? Hope everyone ok x

I am so pleased to report, after reading this thread for a bit, and getting encouragement, I have now had a whole week of alchol free. I have probably saved about £25 and that will go into the holiday kitty! Going to have a drink tonight to celebrate but wont have as much as I usually do. Thanks again You wonderful peep!

Fruball - that was funny!:D
(Not funny that you had a drink, you know what I mean)

No more AFDs for me and I don't know how the weekend will pan out, but I won't overdo anything. I tried a low alcohol wine last night. It was from Banrock Station, so I thought how bad can it be. Quite bad it turns out. I mean it certainly wasn't totally unpotable, but it was quite sweet and not really like the grape varieties mentioned on the bottle at full voltage. But at 5.5%, it meant I only consumed 2 units.

Remember, I try these things so you don't have to.

Happy, happy Friday:dance:

Its definitely working for me this clear head in the morning thingy!!

Shaggy 4/20 AFs please...

Parkingforfree - Well done and welcome
Fruball - no way please dont think of it as a fail, just a small set back

To all you other gorgeous Giving Up/Cutting Down posters - have a great weekend and like me if you can't say no visualise Shaggy's stop button and 'think before you drink' (Im a poet and dont know it :rotfl:)

Love you all :grouphug:

A very good mantra for all of us. I'm going to a wedding tomorrow and have the trusty stop button packed!

There are always those who find it difficult to post regularly and then appear with a big clutch of AF days to celebrate. But anyone who's slipped into lurk mode because they haven't done too well, remember it's not too late. It's never too late to make a change.
