Thank you.cathybird said:@Cousin_Creditor if it helps, I can't tell you how many times I tried to cut down and failed back in the day - many many times. It was as it happens this thread that finally did the trick for me, but it did happen gradually. One thing I did find that helped was "putting off" the drinking, as in, telling myself I could have a drink if I liked, "but not yet", in another hour, or another couple of hours. Then when the time passed I'd either find the urge had passed, or, if it hadn't, I'd tell myself the same thing again.
Do you know why you started? Is it just habit? Maybe there's something you could change about your day that might make it easier to stop?
Anyway tomorrow is a new day - the most important thing is to keep trying/showing up xx

and welcome
to our lovely thread! I've added you to the list, best of luck with the challenge! Would either of you like to set a target for the rest of December at this point, or would you like to go target-free and see how you go?
