Giving up/ Cutting Down Alcohol Thread Part 16

CuppaTea

Yes I was right. November 2010, so nearly 10 years.

I gave up (bar one bottle of lager on my luxury holiday - one night camping near Brighton!) on July 30. Now, instead of spending over £40 a week, it now has worked out to an average of 38½p!   KerCHING!
As Greg Wallace would say  "That's a saving of £1,990 a year!"

Hello
17/25 today. It's payday and I would normally treat myself to a couple of bottles of fizz, feeling very virtuous

ManPants  you are another long time contributor🙂, you must have seen some changes.
I am a relative newbie in comparison, I joined in April 2019, but I have seen people come and go. I wonder how many people have been helped by this thread even if they only stay for a short time?

I think you're right Marahouti. I also suspect that a great many people have been helped even if they weren't regular posters. When I have used this site it has REALLY, REALLY helped me when i log in and concentrate on doing it. Unfortunately, i tend to get "lost" until i get myself into some awful situation through drinking then i crawl back. I tried AA for a while and it wasn't for me. This site is so readily available - and welcoming - and you can post whenever which i feel works better (for me) than making pleasantries at an AA meeting and fitting your life around scheduled meetings. For now, I'm sober and loving my clear head every day. Calling in early for tonight.
23/31 please Cathybird. 

Manpants.

Congratulations to Marahouti and Cathybird for reaching target, especially with so much month left! I find posting really helps me too Manpants and CuppaTea. In fact not posting is a very good sign that I am increasing drinking. 

Declaring early for a whizzy witch day so 21/21 please.

Well done on reaching target maggiem 👏👏👏.

I did have some wine last night but may attempt an AF Saturday - I will report back tomorrow 😉.
