Declaring early for today on 7/10 please cathybird - pumpkin day at last 😀3

Exactly - it's like a promise. I've now been 108 days since a "bender", now I don't want my boozometer to go back to zero! Who wants red on a spreadsheet? In that time, all I've had is one bottle of St*lla (on a camping trip) and a small bottle of Corona (it was 49p!).maggiem said:It's odd, I used to worry about declaring early but now find this really encouraging as once I have decided then I often don't think of alcohol at all that day.
In that time I've saved well over £500, daily beerspend being just under 3p a day on average. Plus I can make up words...Now a gainfully employed bassist again - WooHoo!4 -

6/14 for me please Cathybird. Maggie thanks for your intersting post about finding it easier to commit earlier. When I do sometimes it helps me remember that evening that I've promised on here.2
