@pollyanna24 Same here. That's why I've given up completely. Alcohol quickly affects the part of the brain, the pre-frontal cortex. Yes, the bit that makes logical decisions!

hi Slowdown and welcome I've added you to the list, best of luck with the challenge!

Pollyanna, would you like a target for the annual challenge, or would you  like to go TF?

pollyanna24

Thank you for adding me to the annual challenge.  I think I will stay TF for now.  I used to aim for half the year, but if I carry on the way I have this year, I'll be there by June which is all good!!

That's done! The list is updated at the end of each month so it's showing the totals for end Feb

Thanks all, he and I have never got on and he is aware of my problems with addiction.

@RobM99 you've done incredibly well mate staying off the booze and saving the amount you'd have spent on it in the past; good motivator there. Tbh I think you're bang on with some of the reasons to keep away from it, there's more I can come up with too fml. I've certainly direct experience of alcohol affecting decision making; not a lot of good decisions made after a drink or two, certainly not for me anyhow and a lot of the reason I just decided I'd stop drinking altogether. Realised I don't feel embarrassed or ashamed to say I don't drink anymore, it's my choice and the best one for me and my family. However, I don't find being judged easy and tbh I do wish drinking was less ingrained in our society.

@Slowdown welcome.
