Cutting Down Alcohol Thread

You're doing brilliantly Paspatur, and I totally understand why you don't want to get into the habit of relying on AF beer. Keep re-inforcing the great new habits you're forming so that you have milestones. I bought blue pots for our sundeck for one milestone and they still look fab years later. Then I signed up for a plastering course, followed by a woodworking course and a few others. There are many, many ways to spend the money you save!

In the early days I didn't know about AF beers, and it was tough relying on getting through an evening out on tomato juice (too acidic) or softies (too sugary). Flavoured waters never appealed to me but I know they work for other people.

I had a major, major wobble last night after nearly four years. Admittedly it was in my dreams, but I knew exactly what I was doing when I said yes to having a scotch, even going so far as to choose to have it from a shot glass so it wasn't a large one. I can't even pretend I thought I was still a drinker, either, because I knew I was blowing a near four year AF run.

I've got rotten eyesight Paspatur but plastering is just basically icing a very big cake and carpentry is slicing bread, but French sticks instead of a cob. Nothing complicted. As for psychometric tests - I'd sign up for maths, French and German A levels immediately. And if you've already got them, physics, Chinese and Norweigan. Play to your strengths and all that.
