16/28 please cathybird. Was going to break my long period of abstinence this evening but it’s been rescheduled to tomorrow instead. I’ll take one more AF Friday though (and a clear head tomorrow morning).

Hi everyone,  I'm hoping to join in November if you'll have me! 😊 I've threatened to cut down on my alcohol level for ages but never stick to it for long - I think that joining here will make me feel more accountable 😉 
We spend a ridiculous amount on alcohol - this morning I counted up this month's outlay and it's already at £500!! 🙈 Admittedly, about £100 of that is
due to having family over last weekend but even so, it's a shocking amount of money 😞 
Health wise, for the first time in years, I'm starting to feel the impact of my drinking - my weight is creeping up, my sleep patterns are awful and I feel sluggish all the time. I have been putting it down to being of a 'certain age' but I think I've been kidding myself! 🙈 
Anyway, I've made the decision that I'm quitting on 1st November for at least a month.  I'm going to cut down between now and then so will lurk on here while I do so 😊

Good morning smushesma welcome. I'm so glad you have joined us😀. I too am of 'a certain age' and could have written your post 18 months ago when I joined. This thread and its contributors has really worked for me; as you say, it keeps us accountable. 
Our thread leader is cathybird and she (and other members) will be along later. X

Hello
11/25 today, it's 5.20pm here and I'm in the danger zone... Saturday evening is for wine. Already in my pyjamas and having a peppermint tea!

Welcome smushesma.😊
Good idea to start cutting down now rather than wait until November. Why not go target free (or set a small target)  for October and see how many days you go AF  in the 14 days left?  Just think of the smileys!🤣
