Giving Up/Cutting Down Alcohol Thread Part 17

maggiem

5/20 please for last night Wednesday. Hoping to get one emoji by the end of the month if I can have an AF Friday (very rare for me).

I don't really know what to do for October. I'd like a fairly high number but have friends coming to stay and will then have a drink as I don't want to have to justify what I am doing so won't be trying for a sober October, just a bit more sober. However, as @Maman says sometimes a lower target is better and then exceeding it. So I will try a target of 10 please for October (and how can it possibly be October already?)

Morning all, I am going for 13 again in October, which for me will also be a challenge given the number of social events/travel. But declaring early for today please making 13/13 for September, bring on the badge @cathybird !

20 for me please. October is a 5 weekender so I'll stick to 18

will be up to 29 after today, yay me. Had a serious test of will last night round my brothers and was a little stressed. He always has a beer next to him. I did ask him for a beer but he did tell me no as I wasn't drinking so I appreciate his support.

I think coming back to work has increased my coffee consumption which then increases my post work anxiety. Time for less caffeine i think.

Thanks for adding me to the October targets @cathybird

Declaring early for today on 11/10 please - and I think that will probably be it for the month now.

12/12 please, usual 12 for October please

24/10 including today as driving this evening. 

I do intend to have some wine tomorrow night as last weekend was AF. I have 11 consecutive days which I’m pleased about, helped by some meds I was taking which aren’t compatible with alcohol. I’m off them now, so future days will be a test of willpower. 

10 for October please but aiming for at least 20+. 

Thanks Cathy.

A belated welcome sunshine_raincloud. Well done with what you have already achieved and good luck with your October target and the 'badges' you will earn. At this time of the month I have a sense of anticipation wondering what badges cathybird has for us 😃. This community has really helped me, I hope you will also find it helps. As for AF beers, I find Lucky Saint very good or if you prefer more of an 'ale' type, Brew Dog Nanny State (both 0.5 percent but count as AF). X

29/25 please cathybird. Thank you. X

19/20 for me today please.

I'll go for a target of 20 for October please. 

There are multiple birthdays, including my son's 40th, so October is always celebratory. I don't think there's actually a day in October where there isn't a sibling/offspring/parent/cousin/aunt or uncle having a birthday.
