I think the daisy had a good few nights! It's a sunflower isn't it? Anyway it doesn't look stable - but happy.AllNightDiner said:Good morning all, 5/13 for me and the wobbly daisy is in my sights
10/31 here today and 401 in a row. Over £2,000 not guzzled - yeah, baby!Now a gainfully employed bassist again - WooHoo!5 -
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.4

It could very well be that flowers are not my strong suit.RobM99 said:

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! 😊Gav1987 said: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.
