My second challenge involves alcohol or the lack of it. I've actually done this challenge a few times now be it a month long one or 3 times I've done annual ones for various reasons(When I quit smoking, when I was living in Thailand, and when I first moved to Canberra). Looking back on my journals and it's clear that I'm at my best when doing one of these challenges. I feel better, I get more done and I have more money. So I've decided to stop consuming alcohol for good now. I'm not yet sure if I'll try alcohol free drinks at some point, from what I've seen they are mostly beer and wine which I didn't drink. I would like to get some mocktail recipes to try at some point but it won't be this year.

Just want to note that for the challenge I'll be starting the counter on September 1st for this but I'm not drinking right up to August 31st or anything. So my real number will be higher.
