Morning all, declaring early today so 9/13 please @cathybird. It’s meant to be a lovely warm day so rose lemonade and an evening in the garden is my plan.3

Well I'm not doing well at all!! 🤦♀️ I've drunk every day BUT I have changed my drink from brandy and cola (full fat) to white wine and diet lemonade so although it's still a daily thing I've gone from half a litre of brandy a day to half a bottle of wine - not great but I'm counting it as progress! 😉'Happiness is not a destination but the journey you walk every day'

Declaring early for today on 5/10 please cathybird
Any reduction should always be counted as progress @leftatthetrafficlights - all you can do is keep trying 👍4 -
It certainly IS progress! 20 units a day to 4 is Boom! Zap! Pow! That must be £10 a day saved - that's real MSE stuff!leftatthetrafficlights said:Well I'm not doing well at all!! 🤦♀️ I've drunk every day BUT I have changed my drink from brandy and cola (full fat) to white wine and diet lemonade so although it's still a daily thing I've gone from half a litre of brandy a day to half a bottle of wine - not great but I'm counting it as progress! 😉Now a gainfully employed bassist again - WooHoo!6 -
That is a huge achievement leftatthetrafficlights 😲. You are drinking less than a quarter of the units that you used to! Well done 👏👏.leftatthetrafficlights said:Well I'm not doing well at all!! 🤦♀️ I've drunk every day BUT I have changed my drink from brandy and cola (full fat) to white wine and diet lemonade so although it's still a daily thing I've gone from half a litre of brandy a day to half a bottle of wine - not great but I'm counting it as progress! 😉
