The Cutting Down Alcohol challenge for October & 2025 :)
Comments

            31/31 please cathybird, like one or two others on here I’ve been alcohol free for all of May, June & July (plus second half of April). I’d like to extend that to August as well if I can, got a few socials booked but if I commit to an AF month from the outset I stand a much better chance.5

            31 today please - I think this must be my first alcohol-free month for 35 years, and I would not have achieved this without this forum thread!
Thank you, everyone, for all your support!5 -

            Sorry but I realised I have miscounted = it is 23/20
                        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 !!3
