Check in. Takes three days. It fawking sucks but well worth it. Have to start somewhere. In my opinion, best place to start. You need anything, let me know. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KSB2424 3,082 Posted July 26, 2022 I’m not on a wagon because I have never drank everyday but I’ve recently cut back to just weekends. Over Covid and the WFH / Shutdowns I started having drinks a couple nights during the week. Maybe 4-5 beers in the evenings or a bottle of wine. It became a habit, had to dial it back. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Weekends only here also. 1 or 2 on a weeknight too easily turns into a 6 pack. Getting too old for that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
