The Cutting Down Alcohol Challenge for July & 2026 :)

Season_of_Mist

Thanks maggiem but yes, these things are all relative aren’t they.

10 days in June without alcohol is a third of the month - a third of anything is pretty significant.

Sorry I disappeared @cathybird - we are away on holiday, with ropey reception. I made 8/10 in June, in the end.

@maggiem I found it too disheartening to set a high target when I started to seriously cut down on my drinking, but I needed the accountability of setting said target. I slowly increased the target, and now it's rare that I have . alcohol But don't be so hard on yourself you got into double figures in June, woohoo!

Kicking off July with 1/25 for me please.

maggiem

1/10 please for Tuesday 1st July.

Thanks for the comments @redofromstart, @satchmo1and @Season_of_Mist. Hope to keep going in July and maybe increase my target eventually. I think having a target is quite important for me. Happy to have some AFDs though.

There has been an update to the MSE forum and as a result the pictures now display differently, as in, a picture in one of the rows in a table makes the row absurdly deep, as above. I have told MSE about it and they said if it's a bug they will try to fix it. But if it's not a bug and they don't fix it it makes the table untenable for the AFD challenge, it would just take up too much room. I'm not sure what to do yet, waiting to see what MSE says.
