oh dear did I sent myself 24 ? I probably did. I think @cathybird is right. Ah well. 22 days as predicted.cathybird said:
Watty1, I have your target as 24 for Jan, which you set back on December 30, but maybe you changed it and I missed it? Either way if you've been working towards a target of 21 that's fine, I'll just change it now.Watty1 said:22/21 I made it. May struggle to check in but I know I will drink Saturday tonight and Sunday tomorrow. Its planned drinking and so I have at least made my target this month. Phew. Scraped by there. Will check in on Monday
Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became
In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!4 -
Feb Target I'm going to set 20/28 as my target. No drinking for 20 days. Lets see how at works. And @cathybird I will try and remember

Kumbaya to Rob, Kumbaya, Kumbaya to Rob, Kumbaya.... etc etc .... well done to Rob and everyone who reach/succeeded their targets, and well done to anyone who made a conscious effort to cut down for whatever reason and for however many days you achieved.
What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?3 -

Well, I managed 27 for the month, whoop whoop!Im still not going to set a target for February, but after three weekends on the trot of no drinking, think I’ve broken the back of it and can fight those demons. Going to stick with my plan of not drinking for as long as I am happy to do so and right now that’s working for me.Pink Sproglettes born 2008 and 2010

I changed your target to 21 because that was what you were working towards, so all good! It's fine to change targetsWatty1 said:

Amazing results on here - well done everyone especially those who did Dry January and Maman too. Loads of extra days on your baseline of 10!
16/13 for me and a target of 13 in February please. Thank you for scoring once more in January and I hope all is going well down under. Now I have the Men at Work song stuck in my head!6
