Good evening.
Planned drinking day today as it is my son's birthday and we saw him for lunch and a couple of drinks. Two glasses of wine, about 5 units. So still on 1/21.

Brilliant Man Pants!! Go you.Disappointed with my September score of 16. Only myself to blame. It’s a bit on the low side for me. Too much mid week drinking. I need to knock that on the head. It’s purely habit and boredom.But I’m going to keep trying.Will set an October target of 18 please.Already at 2/18. Would like to make it 3/18 tonight but undecided.Live for the moment and plan for the future5

Well done Manpants and anyone else going for Stoptober.
Declaring early for today, Saturday, so 3/21. I'm trying to do 12 weeks of Fast 800 diet but have decided to have wine tomorrow at the end of 4 weeks. Back on AF Monday although having friends over midweek for a meal.4 -
"It’s purely habit and boredom." I can associate with this. If you can break a habit for 3 weeks, you're nearly "cured".Now a gainfully employed bassist again - WooHoo!5
