Giving Up/Cutting Down Alcohol Thread part 18

Wanna_Bee_Free

Committing early for 9/14 today please Cathybird.

Dryjan

I am a returning participant after slipping once again into nightly drinking. Am not sure if I am trying to cut down or stop drinking at this stage and haven't even got any alcohol free days under my belt yet. But I have been thinking about my health as I am getting older and have spent a lot of this year recovering from an injury. 
It seems everything I see on TV giving health advice says cut down alcohol, never giving a reason why so I just allowed myself to believe they are just saying it for the sake of it and it doesn't apply to me!
So I have no strategy for tonight, but know I need it. The last alcohol free nights I had were 3 weeks in July just because my injury had me worried I may not be able to walk if I was even more wobbly. 
With Christmas looming I am debating whether I am setting myself up to fail.
Manpants - I remember you posting before (I haven't posted since 2021!), well done on your success so far, you have done amazing and I really admire you. 
Cathybird - I won't set a target yet as I haven't a clue what I'm doing.

You've taken the first step by posting @Dryjan. I've always found that if I can get past preparing dinner then I'm OK for the rest of the evening or better still go out somewhere like the cinema or the gym.

9/10 AFDs please @cathybird

Very sorry to read the news about your oh @marahouti, hope to read of more positive news soon. 

Great to hear from you @ManPants. Sorry things have been so hard but well done on sobriety.

I’m struggling to restart AFDs after a holiday but will keep reading and thinking, hoping to restart soon.
