Did you want to set a target for Jan? You can also go TF ("target free") and see how you go. Let me know either way

6 of 20 for me please.
nine months AF now. I'm pleased with that. Thinner, healthier (physical and mental), and with more disposable income. It would have been very easy to use bereavement and the knock on problems as reasons why I deserved a drink but as time goes on I am less and less tempted even when I am with friends who do drink. Closest I got was Christmas Day but it helps that there is nothing in the house to drink now.My mortgage free diary: +++ Divide by Cucumber Error. Please reinstall universe and reboot+++
