Cutting Down Alcohol Thread

27/28 please Baileys


Is it wrong that I'm excited to smell the success on this challenge?


I don't think I'm going to go for the 100 days straight though. Allowing myself a little break from time to time is perfectly healthy. But the midweek drinking is gone. Drinking every weekend - that's gone too.


By tomorrow I'll be 31 days off the drink. I'm happy with that

Absolutely not you have done so well and changed some habits into the bargain by the sound of it Not everyone wants to stop permanently but giving your body a prolonged time off has to be a good thing. For me, giving myself a few days where I am OK about having a drink is the way ahead. Well done on 27 and tomorrow will be a day to feel very proud

Morning all and it's 21/21 for me today, a relief to reach target after Feb got off to such a slow start

That's what matters most to me, being comfortable with your choice. Some choose giving up, some choose cutting down to a greater or lesser extent. It's an individual choice.:)

That's my view too. I can't recall the name but we had a poster on here a few months back who didn't want to give up but felt she'd failed every time she had a drink which caused a lot of unhappiness. For me planned drinking days are the answer. What I don't like is 's*d it' days when I lose control and have a drink when I planned to be AF. Fortunately not had one of those for a long while.:D


Just out of interest (well, nosiness really:o), when cutters-down set their monthly targets do they know which days they plan to drink?


I had a pub meal with friends last night. I had a single G&T, enjoyed it then stopped.:)


No plans to drink today.


15/10 AFDs please Baileys.

Totally agree maman I dont see this thread as a competition amongst each other only against ourselves One thing I do know though I would not have achieved anything like what I have without this thread

Hi,

Failed miserably in February, lots going on in the background that I ended up being AWOL for ages.

Not going to have a big target this month, so please could you put me down for 10

Thanks Baileys xx
