    Re indulging the urge- I seem incapable of drinking less than 7 plus units in one sitting probably I'm happiest drinking at least 10 units :o


    I was exactly the same, which is why I don't drink at all any more.



    Good to know you're okay, WBF. I do worry when people disappear.



    Have a lovely time at the wee one's birthday party, BatFar. ;)



    Healing vibes for you, SukeyBoo. I've never broken a rib, but OH did once and it's the only thing that's ever stopped him laughing. (Playing football, not booze related, either.)


    23/31 please, Shaggy.
    Better is good enough.

    Well, I've been drinking every day... but I did manage to most days drink less than sometimes, even changing my main drink to a lower ABV one. So while in one sense I haven't been doing well with this, in another sense I (mostly) have. I've had a few slip-ups where I've drank more, and I do still want to cut down in general, but just thought I'd update on here what I've been up to.

    Another thing I'd like to add, even though I know I've been spending more than I should have been recently, the most recent time I went out I didn't buy a drink in one expensive bar I went to (where I knew the drinks weren't even always that nice), sometimes temptation might have got the better of me, but I didn't let it, and at least twice this month when I was out I had at least one soft drink as well as alcohol (not including water, which several times I've had as well, although would like to do that more too).
