Giving up/ Cutting Down Alcohol Thread Part 16

marahouti

I have found the posts over the last couple of days very valuable, thank you. For my part I hope I didn't come over as sounding smug when I said I did dry July because I knew I could and didn't have a drink when it was August because "I chose not to". If I did I didn't mean to; it is just such a wonder to me. The changes in my attitude to alcohol have been hard won; two years ago I was perilously close to being a functioning alcoholic. The summit of my ambition then was getting the recommend minimum three  alcohol free days in a week and most of the time I didn't  get one☹️. This thread has played a big part in changing that, thank you.
Have a good day everyone and enjoy the sunshine 🌞.

Morning all, it's 7/21 for me today and on a day where an ice cream would be totally appropriate!

Actually I think these recent posts have been really helpful. So please don't just post briefly as reading the posts helped me for one, and others too from all the comments, to clarify their thinking. Honeybear often used to post something that challenged thinking and I really valued that. 

It's a gorgeous day here, hope the sun is shining on everyone wherever you are. Happy weekend. I'm intending having a drink the next three days but will be reading and starting again on Monday. Good luck with whatever others decide to do.

Yes I miss the old HB's posts ... she always put it very well! It's good to think about these things

Another vote for interesting and valuable discussions.😁 It's not compulsory but sharing supportive comment, thoughts, tips and experiences has always been a useful part of the thread for me. 🙂

7/21 for me. Ice cream time!  Full of clementine juice and fizzy water (Boip!)

Well done Rob I didn't have an ice cream today but would have really liked one actually ... salted caramel I think, or choccy!
