Giving Up/Cutting Down Alcohol Thread part 18

@Season_of_Mist well done on resisting temptation!

18/20 for me today please.
@Season_of_Mist my DH asked, in October, for a specific single malt as part of his Christmas gift. Then decided he was giving up alcohol. Maybe just for now, maybe for ever. Thankfully I don't drink the stuff.
What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?3 -
@Season_of_Mist that sounds like a pretty big win to me, I know how hard that must have been. I’ve done something similar today on the wine isle, walked up and down a couple of times, then back round and up and down again. Ended up buying a can of gin and tonic. It was hard, but who said it was going to be easy. Hope you enjoy your can of beer as much as I did my g and t ☺️@cathybird still not sure what total I’m at, but just had my can of g and t so no AFD today.5

Good morning all. I have been missed by mist. Ho ho. 24 for me this month, please. I have a bottle of zero secco waiting for me in the fridge tomorrow. You don't get drunk on that stuff. Just full of bubbles. Ignore the dodgy syntax I'm using voice to text. Just off to the local cafe where I volunteer for a mince pie and a coffee. Merry Christmas. Happy New Year and make it booze free everyone. Bye bye.Now a gainfully employed bassist again - WooHoo!7
