Giving up/ Cutting Down Alcohol Thread Part 16

Calling in very early today, 5/31. Today is significant for me as I am now at 100 days consecutive AF.
While I am looking at my numbers, I have checked back and think I have drank on just 10 days so far since Jan 1st, and nothing at all since 27 April. This means I’ve had over 200 days AF this year and counting (think we are up to 215 days so far) I’m not setting a yearly total but I am very encouraged by that.

Wow, Season of Mist! Hugely well done. I know from experience just how much of a challenge and a change giving up the booze for 100 consecutive days is. It's not just the alcohol, it's all the habits that we don't realise we've built into our lives around drinking as a way of life.

That revelation - that we don't actually have to feel crap in the mornings! - was the thing that made the whole thing doable. I still find it astonishing that I genuinely didn't realise that my disturbed sleep and sluggishness could be banished. Good on you for sticking to it, and I hope you continue to enjoy your new found freedom for a long time.

5/31 please, Shaggy.

4 please, thanks

There is some really good advice on this thread - thank you. I will try to replace Saturday evening's completely over the top, 'reward' glugging of wine with looking forward to chocolate or ice cream. I am going to commit to going running with my group on Sunday morning so I must stick to my plan.:)

Hello
4/18 today, I ended up having several drinks yesterday. Strangely I've had really weird indigestion today which I'm convinced is connected!

Not drinking until Friday now.

Set Your Target for

27 Alcohol Free Days Up For Grabs.

Everyone Welcome.

Thanks for the good wishes. It is only 100 days after all and that total is vanishingly small next to HB’s recent 5 year AF anniversary, but it’s an achievement for me.
