Hi Everyone who might be interested, a thread for anyone who wants an accountability check-in for their moderate Feb drinking!

I’m still around, still only drinking two nights a week and small wines at that. Feeling better and better and don’t miss the other nights at all as weekends are now a real treat.

What thread have you all moved to, if any? I can’t find one that’s for moderators.

Addictforanex · 28/03/2025 13:31

Am still moderating - 20 dry days in March so far. Though my weekly units have crept up from 14 in Feb to 20 in March.

Im still here but March has been a disaster for me. Planning on starting afresh in April. Hoping that the better weather will encourage me to get out and exercise rather than sit and drink.

@ThePoshUns sorry to hear that. What’s happened? I had 2 birthdays and a few nights out so ended up drinking big time few times. Felt awful next day each time… quel surprise

Going to stay AF tonight and tomorrow, but Mother’s Day we will be out for an extended family lunch and I will have some fizz and wine then.

There’s one in the alcohol forum. I’ll see if I can find it.

Hi had a long city break week end so drank every day, although not excessively so. This led to
slipping back into a few glasses in the week. Hopefully do better next month.
enjoy yourself on Sunday

Ah thanks, that one seems to have abstainers as well. Not sure they would appreciate my chat!

No, they’re good with moderators as well. Or were, I haven’t been there for a while.

I've stayed away as I've been dry since January 1st. I'm not sure it's that helpful to keep popping on to give you my day count. I will be back if I wobble.

That’s fantastic!

Hi,all going well here,only three drinking nights in March
I came to a conclusion that drinking doesn't make any difference in my life so I will choose not to 😉
Although when I drunk the other day the rest of the bottle was then tempting me to drink the following evening too
