Joyful moderating in July

[Waves 2]

This thread is a follow-up to the 30 days moderation in June thread.

Aim: Drunk-free July.

The last two months some of us have found that one thread where we post success ( and perhaps feel accountable ) has helped us to keep focussed.

Please feel free to join in as and when you like.

Waves,

This is such a lovely, positive approach. Set your 'safe' limit and stick to it.

Count me in defo this time. Flip has inspired me this month. I WILL NOT be drunk this glorious July, I WILL get my life back just the way I WANT IT TO BE, I WILL, I CAN, I WILL..... to quote the glorious SB - I WILL BE STILL - I KNOW....

Good idea Waves, I am making progress, I have cut down the drinking to 2 days per week on average now, but some of those days I still have been over doing it. I am going to take this thread as my inspiration. I have made such progress since Dec. and really am seeing that moderation does not mean drunk for me anymore.

I love this thread too. It helps me to stay focused, and I don't have to feel like a huge failure if I slip. My moderation goals are to stop drinking wine at home alone. And to limit my drinks of wine while I am out to three. Good luck everyone. I look forward to hearing from you.

Happy New Financial Year everyone!!

I do love the concept of the FY - they take it so seriously at work with little end of the FY cocktail parties and the like. You'll be glad to hear I didn't attend!!

I think the concept of "drunk -free - July" is a much better idea. Or how about a drunk -free Financial Year?

Now, you'll note my new avatar combines an avian, an Australian and a 'financial' theme I did briefly look for a picture of a "fat post" (since I've promised to provide one) but thought you might all throw things at me and probably quite rightly!! I am working on said fat (and sensible) contribution but it's proving to be a bit harder to get my thoughts together than I thought.

In the meantime you'll just have to put up with my meaningless meanderings....


Hope everyone is well and happy this windy old Monday night.

Love and thoughts as usual - I really am finding myself becoming 'fond ' of you all...

WHOOPS!!! SORRY WAVES!!! WILL START NEXT MONTH!!!

Teach me to brag about 'fat posts' and then get writers block!! ( Confession: I actually do want to say something sensible about my "moderation journey so far but seem to be in too much of a silly mood to do it properly.) I did actually intend to start this months thread with my 'fat post " picture at least but then I went to bed early and missed the date!!! Never mind.

Do seem to be in a very silly mood lately . Cant be alcohol as I havent had more than two drinks per week for the past six months!!!!!!!

Must be this bloody wind.

Count me in for a drunk free july, I've not been really drunk like I was last year recently, but it's creeping back a little bit, I'm going to eat healthier and excercise more too .....

Hi Starlight!

Admittedly, there have been a few occasions when they've been BIG glasses!!! But it's only because I generally won't drink at home alone and I won't drink during the week and when I DO have a drink - in company, on the weekend and preferably with a meal I can (thanks to the topa., the supps. the other program elements) stick with one or two max.

This is the stuff that I 'm gonna write about in that much promised 'fat post" - why did I ever open my big FAT mouth about that?????

I know all about the big glasses, lol. I can't believe people pour 5 oz of wine, just like I cannot believe anyone eats 1/2 cup of cereal. Maybe that's why I need to lose weight!
