    What is the ONE most important reason you want to cut back on alcohol in your life?

    ME:
    Because I did not like the person I became from consuming to much.

    Me:
    Because alcohol inhibits my weight loss.

    Diary style

    Saturday Oct 02 - AF - Planned drinks this week: Wednesday, Friday, Saturday (Thanksgiving weekend here)

    Rolling total - 1AF day out of 2 days.

    For the weekend:
    1Oct - 2 G&T, nigori sake (equivalent of one glass of wine) ... we went out for happy hour & sushi
    2Oct - 2 Gentleman Jack & cokes
    3Oct - espresso martini, 2 glasses of red wine ... we went out for brunch thus the martini and it was so good; I made meat sauce w/pasta for dinner and 1/5 of the bottle went in the sauce and we drank the rest

    Over by 1 for the weekend

    Sunday Oct 03 - AF - Working 4 days of splits, so added incentive to not be feeling potentially yucky or not sharp from drinks

    Rolling total - 2AF day out of 3 days.

    I’m in for October. Did my 25AF for September. October is a busier month! Birthdays, thanks giving, anniversary’s etc! Going for 20AF and no more than 2x250ml glasses in a sitting.
    Have a good month all.

    Congrats on your September's end journey. Great goals for October! Thanks for checking in @77topcat

    @lmlmrn I know the list could just keep going.
    Actually my main reason has many subtitle reasons that flow underneath it.
    My first action would trigger many other actions which then would seem to fall like dominoes when I didn't keep it under control.
    HAPPY MONDAY

    GOOD MONDAY MORNING

    The evening turned out wonderful and I taught a young(39 years old) man how to properly slow dance with a woman because he was making all the poor girls dizzy by continuing to go around in one direction. 🤪

    You’re doing God’s work right there!

    I am lucky!

    We were going to make BBQ chicken last night, but the first ingredient in the bottle of sauce was high fructose corn syrup, so we had to pivot to a dry rub. It’s these little things where sugar is everywhere. I’m already feeling good about cutting out alcohol- weight is already coming down, and I’m sleeping like a rock!

    Oh, and @MissMay I am over my October breakdown and am now fully psyched for the season! Now to decorate for fall!!!

    Holy Smokes, @LoveyChar YOUR WITH US AGAIN. ❣❣❣ And you found us way over in a new catergory even. Of course you are welcome here. Sober October for you? We can help with that. How did day 1 go?

    Thank you, Miss May! Day #1 was 9/29 and it was hard but I was anxious about this past weekend and starting a new job in retail. But it went so well and I just felt so happy to be working again. I had no urges to drink after I got home. Just made some coffee and put on a good show to relax. Thank you for asking...
