Got a tip: Make your MFP food diary open to your friends to see what you eat and drink. Not that you want to hide anything, but that extra little accountability nags at you. Do I want to log my alcohol, even though my friends know I'm trying to reduce? It's just a little more of a nudge not to have that extra glass of wine knowing your diary is open to view.
Anyone else have tips that help them keep their goals?

It's friday -- going to be tough not to have a drink or two -- but want to hold off until Sunday when I know I will want to have a few glasses of wine with the family...

Are you aiming for dry Wednesdays and Fridays?

I'm aiming for my usual cutback but am seriously considering an AF night. Might be only one, but...

OK. I’m committing to a dry April. Monday the 2nd we’re driving to Houston for the Astros home opener after their World Series win. I’ve loved them since they were the Colt 45s. But there will ALWAYS be an occasion to celebrate. And that’s a good thing and means I have a rich life for which I’m thankful. But alcohol needs to go. I can’t deny that and am freaking sick of dancing with it. Im just announcing to you friends I’ve made here that my intention is for a dry April. Im scared but think I can do it. xoxo. And also if I post any rationalizations during April I would appreciate any gentle reminders to go back and read this post. I feel like I did as a kid on the high dive.

Me too. A totally dry April. No exceptions, no excuses. I love your "I'm sick of dancing with it" line.

Hi Friends, I'm just on that wonderful site called The Sober School. Here's a link to a blog listing reasons when people knew they needed to quit.
