Yeah another target smashed well done Elusive Lucy

Thanks.
Had a bit of a pattern recently. Try to be AF Mon-Thur and then drink Fri-Sat-Sun like Sukeyboo. The last couple of Fridays I have sat watching TV and drunk so much I have had a hangover on the saturday. I need to stop this. So this week I am determined to take it easy tomorrow

My 2018 total to end-Feb is 35. I think I had a target of 150.

Hey the posts aren't lost btw, the thread reappeared and got merged with the thread before it, so it should be possible for people to check their targets if they want to. I'm just mentioning it in case.

Thanks for all your hard work Baileys :T

My annual total so far (to the end of February) is 28/150 and I am declaring early for tonight on 1/14 please

Maman - I tend to 'allow' myself drinking days for Fri-Sat-Sun and am normally AF Mon-Thurs unless I have a social event on a weekday

Same here sukey:). That's probably why we often seem to be neck and neck on our totals. I'd have to add 'not trying to be AF on holiday'.;)


One of my fears lucy was that when it came to weekends I'd just play catch-up and drink loads to make up for the AF weekdays. It has helped that my tolerance has dropped with the AF days so I do tend not to just keep drinking on weekends. I also take the opportunity whenever possible to plan things at weekends which will help cut back. So if there's a choice when to go to the cinema or theatre I'll go for a Friday or Saturday so I'm not just spending the evening drinking. When I'm at home I might have a tea/coffee mid-evening even if I go back to the wine later. And lastly (not sure if I should be advising on drinking on here) I find that having at least one of the evenings on G&T (properly measured) seems to help to minimise how much I drink. I do it to cut calories but it really does go further than wine which I seem to be able to get through far too quickly.:( I'm sure others will have good tips tips but this is what's helped me.


Unexpected bonus from today. I was meant to be meeting friends for lunch before a matinee. Snow is horrible so we're staying at home. I'll cook a nice meal here instead but I won't be drinking.


1/10 please Baileys.
