Another one echoing thanks for the amazing job you do @cathybird!!
I'm going to have a monthly target throughout 2024 of 24 days every month (so a 288 days annual target) please.
I'm doing the 24 in 24 challenge hence this particular number but in all honesty, I'm pretty much going to be trying for a totally sober year! I worked out how much I've drunk this month and it was actually quite concerning - my body deserves better!! 😳🤦♀️DNF: £708.92/£1000
JSF: £708.58/£1000
Winter season grocery budget: £600.85/£900
Weight loss challenge 2024: 11/24lbs
1st quarter start:9st 13.1lb
2nd quarter start:9st 9.2 lb
3rd quarter start: 9st 6.8 lb
4th quarter start: 9st 10.2 lb
End weight: 8st 13lb

Haven't posted for ages as haven't fared at all well with AFDs in the run up to Chrstmas. Have counted up today and up to 7/10 so some vague hope of hitting my target. Need to go back and read through the thread now.4

Ok caught up now and feel a bit better that I'm not the only one that find alcohol hard to avoid at this time of year. Really inspirational comments from Marahouti and Rob though what amazing achievements! I don't think I can happily completely stop drinking but my New Year's resolution is to only drink for enjoyment and not as a stress reliever. I'm going to aim for 20 in January and are we going for targets for the year too? If so, I'm going to aim for 250 which is a lot but I don't want to make it easy for myself to keep slipping.3

marahouti said:I can't quite believe I'm saying this, but yesterday I had my first dry Christmas day since 1984😲! So I'm 25/25 (and a groovy Santa) please cathybird. Thank you. X
Not declaring for today yet but if I don't drink I will be one year dry 😊. Back later.Now a gainfully employed bassist again - WooHoo!3 -
13/17 for me today please. DH generously gave me his germs, so I'm sneezy and shivery.What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?3
