Giving Up/Cutting Down Alcohol Thread Part 17

pollyanna24

I'm up to 19 for the month which is amazing for me.  And I'm enjoying it.  I'm enjoying being clear headed during the weekend and knowing that I can remember everything.

I am tempted for tonight which is the issue.  I don't go mad at the weekends, but drink more than what is recommended.  

I know it would just be an easier decision to just give up altogether as then I wouldn't have this quandry of "should I?  shouldn't I?"

I drank heavily on Wednesday night and paid the price with a hideous hangover yesterday. AF last night although I nearly drank more in the evening as hair of the dog. So I still made 11 but not until yesterday.

AF plan for Monday - Thursday to still hit my target of 15 in September. That will take me to an annual figure of 100. I'm about a month behind and a monthly target of 16.66 for the rest of the year. Still a lot better than many years at this pont. Onwards and upwards.

Thanks for the mention @Lupus_Lou although I never feel it is really that well deserved as I start with such a low target compared to most 😉 - it is just that a low target works for me as I know when I set it higher and failed to reach it I get very demoralised

I feel the same @sukeyboo. I sort of treat my 10 as a floor target and know I'll be satisfied if I reach it but fully intend to exceed it whenever I can. I've done really well this year but that's mainly through lack of eating out during the pandemic.

Hi everyone 
Cathybird,  I'm now 24/29

I live around 1/4 mile from a petrol station, they're queuing back to my place and even further down. The petrol station is on a junction and the whole area has ground to a halt.
I can't wait until they run out.
