     Not doing well in December but intend to do lots better in January. I’m going to stick to a target of 10 for January - although very much expect to exceed this. I’m going with a more ambitious target for the year so 200 in 2025.

    Not really a number goal here but I had 5 bottles of red jam shed for Christmas from my brother. Once those bottles of wine are gone, I'm done drinking. I've realised I drink a lot of wine.. Aldi is a nightmare for it as its so cheap! I usually drink a bottle a week..

    The other thing we might want to briefly consider (besides starting a new thread each year, which we will do) is whether we are in the right place in the forum - as someone said in the past few weeks (I think it might have been Justcrackingonwithit) we are in the debt forum and thus quite hard to find for people looking to cut down on drinking. However, I had a look across the rest of the forum and can't see any other place that leapt out as being a happier fit. Does anyone else have any thoughts? There might be an obvious place I've just missed. xx :)
