    Was chatting in the pub the other day with a bloke who hasn't drunk since January 1 - he used to drink far more than me. He went cold turkey with his wife who had been caught drink driving. He said they've been putting money away in a jar that they'd spend on drink each week and have already got enough to go on holiday. Seems like a great incentive as you can watch the jar fill up. I don't want to give up completely, I drink in moderation, but I might start trying to cut a couple of pints a week and see how quickly I can fill a jar up too.

    Lots of ways of cutting down @Gav1987. On this thread, we do it through chalking up some alcohol free (AF) days each month but your way could achieve the same ends. Good Luck! 😊

    6/10 AFDs please @cathybird
