The Cutting Down Alcohol challenge for December & 2025 :)

Vanlady

It's going to be a 12/21 for me today please cathybird.
As planned, yesterday wasn't AF,  and I enjoyed my several glasses of fizz very much!  But I did end up throwing away 1/2 bottle of mulled wine and giving away 3/4 bottle of white wine....unheard of before I joined this challenge recently!

2/10 please.

Thank you to @cathybird, @Vanlady, @satchmo1, @oceandreamer for your good wishes, very kind of you all. I hope I haven’t missed anyone out. I do worry that posting about my lack of success may discourage others from trying so may stop commenting for a while but will still read along, cheering on those who are doing so very well. So if I go quiet, that’s probably why. 

Hope you are feeling better @BlueJ94.

@maggiem - every AFD or even an extra drink you don't have is a win and everyone on this thread is cheering each other on. Keep reading and post if you can then we know you're ok.
Declaring early 13/24 please Cathybird.

Vanlady

MaggieM,  as oceandreamer says, every AFD or reduced amount is a win, so please don't stop posting. We're all here to support each other x

Yes @maggiem, as the others have said, even if you manage one more day this month it's an achievement so do keep in touch. Or even if you don't open that second bottle.... which is where I was when I joined this thread. 🤗

14/25 for me today please.

redofromstart

14 for me please.  Today I rehomed the wine that has been in the cupboard under the sink since I had my last drink early March.  I don't feel the need to 'test' myself by having it available anymore, and it did not bother me letting it go.  I am pleased with that.

@maggiem, please don't stop posting.  You may remember I was spiraling around February and I found the support from you and others really helpful, I would have lost that if I had stopped posting. Maybe you should celebrate when you are reducing, and perhaps go target free to make it more positive for yourself?

11 for me this evening - thank you Cathybird
