The Cutting Down Alcohol Challenge for October & 2026 :)

11/28 for me today please.

A frantic start to the day with a text from a relative at 8am asking to be collected from hospital 20 miles away by noon. This included firstly me walking their dog. I hadn't been aware that they had an appointment until the text.

Congratulations @Season_of_Mist that is a fantastic achievement. 5/10 for yesterday please cathybird. I succumbed on Thursday but drove back yesterday and now I am pleased I didn't have wine when I got home.

Thanks to all who commented, that is very kind. I just find it so much easier to cut alcohol out altogether for a month at a time, rather than allow myself an allocation of days where I can drink. For me it is mentally much more straightforward like that.

Sort-of related to this, I don’t really diet but I do not consume any calories at all until midday. Just water, or a mug of hot water. Literally nothing else. It gives me an absolute I can stick to so much easier than having to think about eating healthily / calorie counting etc.

I digress, sorry. Good luck to all who are cutting down / cutting out the alcohol.
