Giving Up/Cutting Down Alcohol Thread Part 17

Season_of_Mist

CB, I also just wanted to say thank you so much for all your work maintaining these lists for and on behalf of us all year. 

24/20 as of today. I’ve had 13 drinking days in total this year, or 351 days AF out of 364 so far. Breaking through the 350 day mark feels like a milestone. That is probably as many dry days that I can realistically have in one year without going the whole hog and becoming completely teetotal. Little bit undecided about tomorrow, I didn’t drink last NYE, just had an early night and 2021 duly proved to be an awful year for all sorts of reasons: some due to COVID, some work, some personal. Pure superstition really but I’d really like 2022 to be better on all fronts and I want to approach it with optimism, so I may do it differently to Dec 31 last year and hope that a kind of alchemy happens when the calendar changes over.

I'm pleased to say I've made target at 20/20 and 150/150 for 2021. That's my best year ever and I am somewhat boggled that I managed 20 days AF in December.  

Well done WBF

Happy new year everyone, I will have a drink tonight so I’ve finished for Dec on 14/12. See you all next year, hope it’s kind and full of good for all.

I'm finishing the month on 20/18. I'm not going to drink tonight.  I will need to drive around midnight and I think it is better not to drink at all tonight

@cathybird thank you for the charts for herding us all up and for the stickers     and everyone on here thank you.  I came here in a right mess and somehow this list is just working magic for me.    A couple of you suggested I use the trydry app as well and I love that one too.      

Sincere thanks xxx

I'm sure there are still results to come in so the annual list will be updated ... let me know as ever if any mistakes! I managed to equal my result from last year exactly, which I hadn't really been meaning to do, but there it is. I also had three fewer drinks (93 as opposed to 96). I'm not drinking tonight, giving it a miss as I have done the past few years, a quiet night at home is good by me.

To me the annual emojis tell a little story lol, not that I meant it that way, but the story goes as follows: there's a party going on, with people with balloons, and swings in the trees and peacocks on the lawns, and there's a disco too, so it's a pretty great party. The guy in the train is rushing eagerly to get there, but look, there's another guy on a camel trekking there from far, far away! 10 out of 10 for effort for him and the Christmas penguin is happy and leading the way on the dance floor. Well, there it is, another happy ending and I hope we all feel we got to go to the party
