I'm glad if my musings and experiences have helped Dryjan. January, and I expect the months leading up to you and your husband's decision, must have been very difficult for you. You have done incredibly well to have had 2 dry weeks 👏🏼.Dryjan said:marahouti Season_of_Mist for your shares. It gives me hope as I am a long way from where you are both now. But I know it can be achieved.
January was a bit of a disaster for me, having said that I ended on 2 weeks of nights without alcohol which is 2 weeks more than usual!

2/14 please - just realised it is the 5th - 2 on and 2 off so I might make my target if I keep that up!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 -
