oceandreamer said:9/24 today please Cathybird. Yesterday I had my first drink in over a month. I never intended to stop drinking totally, just cut down but even so I was really nervous and spent most of the day on soft drinks. I did have a couple as it was a family celebration BUT in big news for me - I managed to do just that! Have a couple that is. I was so pleased and totally amazed tbh. I won't be rushing to have another drink as I still don't trust myself. It helps so much having this thread to post on as it keeps me accountable. Thanks again for running it Cathybird.Now a gainfully employed bassist again - WooHoo!4

8/20 am debating if one that I'm counting as a drinking day counts but decided I will include as was not totally a/f. Getting in some tins of something nice but a/f to drink and pouring into a wine glass at the end of the day helped a couple of days as I felt I had had a "treat" but stuck to my goal..Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became
In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!5 -
9/27 for me please @cathybird
Just calculated I can only drink on one more day for the whole month, otherwise I don't meet my target!...food for thought
