I'm in for another month! Last month's thread was very helpful. In 27 days, I've had a grand total of 3 drinks -- down from @ 3 drinks per day! Want to keep up the momentum because I feel much better all around.34

I'm in, going to finish September strong.9

I’m in for October. I had zero in August and plan on finishing out September with zero.
I will caveat that I may end up having a drink or two toward the end of October as I have a milestone birthday coming up. However, I’m hoping I won’t even want the drinks when the day gets here.

I'm in!5

I am in as well. Ended up with 5 drinks in September (assuming no more this week) which is a lot less than a normal month for me.7

Count me in! I'm three weeks in and enjoying the distinct lack of hangover! X9

As I failed miserably for September, I'll give October a try. I think I'll take the advice from someone in the September thread, and give myself a goal I need to hit before I can drink again. So in 10 lbs, if I want to blow a streak that I'll hopefully have going, then I can drink again. I'm thinking once the beer is out of the picture, a fair few pounds should easily drop just from the lack of bloating.7

I'm in!! I have done very well so far, but discovered when I get tense I need a glass of wine. Not such a big deal really. However, it leads to mindless eating etc etc etc.4

I'm in!! I definitely need to cut back my alcohol.. Would like to cut it back to 3 drinks this month. (Only cuz it's my birthday month) Then eventually 3 a year. It's the main problem with my weight. Can't wait for October. It'll be a true challenge for myself.5

You could start with a pro and cons list for yourself....what do you get from drinking or why do you want to cut back/reduce.
Sometimes lists are really helpful. Lots of good articles on Pinterest about 30 day alcohol challenges too.3
