Hello, it's been a long while since I've been on the boards, but do you mind if I join this thread? I really think some accountability will help me....at 5pm I cave in too easily
I don't want to stop alcohol altogether, but just cut down.
So, there are 6 days left in October....im going to aim for no alcohol for these 6 days.......even though its sunday and I have a quarter of a bottle of wine left....I'll save that for next Saturday night5 -
19 so far please xx

In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!4 -
