Haven't posted here in a while, but I am up to 19 for the month! Get me!

I'm more pleased than normal about this as I actually feel it is becoming the norm for me to not drink during the week.

I have quite a bit of alcohol in the house, but I'm not guzzling it like the ole me would have done.

I start most days with the intention of being good, then around the afternoon I think I might have something to drink, but now more times than now, I just don't.

And whilst in the beginning this was a chore and I thought what is the point if I'm constantly going to be "stopping myself," it doesn't feel like that so much any more which is good. It's becoming a habit to settle down with a cuppa instead of a glass of wine. Will I feel like this in the heat of summer? Who knows? Maybe not. But if I do and I have a few less AF days in the summer, pah who cares! To make this a lifetime habit, I want to not constantly think about it. Partly why I haven't been on here maybe, because drink isn't the first thing I'm thinking of. Wahey! There will be slips, but instead of thinking, oh sod it, might as well keep drinking, each day is a new day!

Lots of people seem to have done very well :T:T Cathybird, Maman and Pollyanna as well as all who completed dry January - Happy Monday :T.

I'm hoping to better my February target too. Bring it on.
