Giving Up/Cutting Down Alcohol Thread Part 17

CCW007

Bit of an odd time of year to join this challenge but I have been honest with myself recently and realise I really need to cut back.  Challenging at Christmas but I guess this is practise for the new year when I plan to stop completely for a while.

So I have done two days on the trot AF (despite OH having a few drinks - very proud of myself for sticking to my guns).  I am committing to 10 AF days for the remainder of this year so including those am at 2 / 10 so far.  Anything more than 10 would be amazing but 10 is my minimum! 

This allows me to drink at weekends, Christmas, New Year and OH's birthday - I recognise it will be difficult to stay entirely AF for all those.

Good morning everyone,
11 please Cathy 
Loops I laughed at the thought of you wanting to find your inner reindeer. Do you think it could be classified as a yoga position ie "happy reindeer!"  Have fun with that one.

This we must see!  

Anywobbles, 17/29 for me and a Leffe 0.0% on the cards tonight. (The best non-alc ale I've found). Other than that...er...um...not much else has happened.

I still haven't got round to seeing if I can sit on the floor like the reindeer,  scared I'll never get up again. 
See you all soon

This made me laugh 😃. Back in the days when I had killer abs and worked on them I used to do an exercise very similar to Happy Reindeer but at a much slower pace. These days the abs have gone and like you I'd be scared I wouldn't get up again! 😂

CCW007 welcome and well done, it is never the wrong time of year to make a change. X

17/21 please cathybird. Thank you. X

Thanks Cathybird!  Am feeling all virtuous, about to have an AF G&T and look forward to waking up with no hangover tomorrow.

Sticking on 13/18.  Feel so fed up with the ex shenanigans that may well have a glass of wine this evening (Thurs) as there is some in the fridge.  I have had a couple of days where i have declared early and then not drank but today I am beyond fed up and I suspect that the cream cake I have just been out to buy will not cut it much longer.  Plus accountant now chasing me due to "irregularities" in my tax papers. Seemingly he is not a fan of creative writing. 

Pleased I actually decided to watch TV instead  so 14/18.     Had a drink at a Christmas event yesterday but it was a planned celebration and I'm ok with that one.   Once again noticed I don't feel great when drinking.  I think this is a great watching and learning time.
