The Cutting Down Alcohol challenge for July & 2025 :)
Hi all, 28/29 please. @Season_of_Mist don't go for 31, go for 30 - then if you make 31 you get a full set of emojis!
You are right RobM99, I know you like to use that tactic. My issue is, I know how my mind works, if I allow the (mathematical) possibility of a drinking day, it will haunt me all month long. I can’t really leave that door open, not even just a crack; weirdly I find it easier to mentally commit to a whole month AF right from the off, rather than, “Well, I’ll say 30 but really I will be aiming for 31”. I don’t have your confidence to leave that chance there and pass up on it month on month.
Thanks for putting me on the May list @cathybird and for looking after the thread so brilliantly for another month. I think your own totals can get overlooked so well done to you!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Welcome to the thread @Jellybaby. Improved health is a great reason for joining but so is money saving and saving calories.😀
