    I'm going for a low target but tbh I feel that the only answer for me is to avoid alcohol altogether as I just don't seem to be able to drink sensibly. 
    That's exactly what I did - just gave up. Alcohol is like a bag of sweets - "Oh I'll just have one.   Or two.  Oh that's half gone! Ah well....".
    Now a gainfully employed bassist again - WooHoo!

    @oceandreamer  2/10 is an excellent start.

    Like you I've gained weight and am struggling.   0/10 as of today.
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!
