Good afternoon everyone.
16/25 please cathybird. Thank you. X
Today marks the last 'easy day' in December. From tomorrow I have a more sociable December than has been the case since December 2019. I will just have to keep reminding myself that I will have just as good a time (probably better) sober. I do intend to have a drink over the Christmas long weekend and New Year's Eve but I want to keep it to that or just one or two more. I have my eye on 350 dry days in 2022 🤞😊.
