Giving Up/Cutting Down Alcohol Thread part 18

Hello cathybird, thank you for the Annual Challenge list with the lovely emojis. However, I haven't had a drink this year so I think I should be on 151 not 149 😊. I wouldn't point it out but I really really want that knight! X

19/10 AFDs please @cathybird

Thanks for the annual totals. I'm delighted to be averaging half a month when I used to be a daily drinker. It's all down to the thread. 👍

Finishing the month on 14/10 please cathybird

@Shrewbie and @CuppaTea listening to podcasts and reading books about cutting back really helps, doesn't it? 

It really does! I plan to do more of it in June…

Well done for May everyone and thank you so much @cathybird I’ll finish on 22 😊

CuppaTea

Finishing on 12 please.

The list gets updated throughout the day as people post their end of month totals - I can't assume anyone is on a particular total till they say. You didn't post yesterday so that's 2 days to add today, taking you from 149 to 151.

Hello 👋 

if possible could I join this thread please? I’ve just been lurking on this forum for years and mainly joined to sort my financial situation out and I’m really getting into it but after reading this thread I feel my financial and drinking worlds may go hand in hand…I’d now like to make my life even better by seeing if I can do something about this too.
Truth is I can’t remember when I last had a AF day, for years it’s been an habit to get home from work and treat myself to a beer to unwind. I don’t drink to get drunk but over time the amount of beers has increased. I want to really give this my all and I’m hoping it will have a great impact on my anxiety.

anyway enough rambling and I’m not quite sure what goal to aim for but going to start with day 1 and go from there 😬
