The Cutting Down Alcohol challenge for December & 2025 :)
Comments
-
Finishing December on 27/25, not drinking anything this evening, plus, had an unexpected AF Christmas Eve, so managed two more dry days than planned.Thank you v much cathybird. I didn’t have a yearly target but I had 21 days with alcohol in the whole of 2025, or 344 days AF. This included 5 complete months AF.I had alcohol on 6% of the available days, this is fractionally up on the 5 years before, where I finished each of those years on 5%. I’m not going to obsess over the additional 1% this year, but I wouldn’t want it to creep up again in 2026. (I do have a significant birthday though with a few social things booked in - so we shall see.)
Best wishes to all for next year and a special thank you again to cathybird for all the work that has gone into maintaining this thread.6 -
