    Little by little making progress.
    All that time I gained by not sitting on a bar stool after work or on Saturday. One Saturday I went to a bar after Target at 2:00 p.m. and stayed there til 8:00. I have zero limits - One drink is too many and 10 drinks not enough.
    Now, I wish I saved that cash in a piggy bank or something.

    "Great acts are made up of small deeds" and as you said, "little by little making progress." I'm with you on the "wishing" I had actually saved the money I stopped wasting by not drinking. To date $6,682.00...MAN oh MAN!!

    I got an alert on my quit drinking app today to announce 4,000 drinks passed....4,000 is hard to wrap my mind around, but my liver is doing a little jig right about now :p

    @FeelinFooFoo ~ SO proud of you!!! Your example may, in time, help the men in your life get free. <3

    For anyone who likes to write about their goals. Here is a paper from Smart Recovery toolbox. It can be applied to any goal you want to reach. I'm going to fill it out for weight loss.

    Here is another worksheet on values- what you find most important in your life. After you fill it in, read the next page. It is a good one.

    I know. Find it hard to label myself alcoholic. Am I. Idk. I have an addiction to almost anything food. Smokes. When I smoked it was a pack a day easily. I was having a conversation with my daughter whose almost 21. I was saying how it would be nice to have champagne for xmas. Ever since I was young my grandmother would put champagne on the table for us kids at the holidays. I miss that. And my daughter piped up lets gets some mom. Shes never drank before. Do I not ever get any alcohol for my children because I have a problem? Maybe thats how it all started for me. A sip never hurt anyone shed say. It was a fluted wine glass. I was 6 lol. Laughing my as off at dinner. Who wouldn't miss it.

    Aww Foo Foo I think you already are a unicorn. That’s a compliment by the way.

    @RubyRed427 I agree that labels are probably counterproductive most of the time. Thanks for not revealing spoilers in the Queen’s Gambit. I didn’t have a chance to move beyond episode 2 today.

    @FeelinFooFoo 60 days!!! Wow - and you are close to wining that bet with your brother!!

    Hmmm. What can I spend £50 on lemme think 🤔

    60 days of giving my liver & other organs a well deserved break from processing toxins. Now that makes me feel like a millions bucks $$$

    A massage, pedicure, bracelets, new wallet to hold your winnings....
