In +8, Out -12
All purchases done in the last week of the month
willpower deserted me
still, another month in the right direction

I hope to use this every month now as I have cut consumption by 1/3-1/2.
Up 4 for the month. Would easily have been down 6 if I had not cut consumption.
August: 11 out, 12 in - net 1 increase. Still down 2 for the quarter, need to hold on to that. Took a nibble at Tidings today, so the month is off to a challenging start.
August, 12 in, 15 out. Small net minus 3, but I’ll take it.
For August:
In = 0
Out = 4
Net minus 4
Problem: September will be terrible, just got back from Italy and cases are inbound.
Just came to acknowledge that I have accepted a failing grade for both the spring semester and summer session. Moreover, that I dropped out just weeks into the fall semester.
Okay so I will start off the September 2025 part of this thread …
Just back from Italy …
In = 31
Out = 2
Net = +29
In: +18. Out: -20. Net -2. YTD: +70.
I’ll take a small win.
Would have been a bigger win but Goodfellow offer came along, and, you know ….
+41
-21…this might change.
Ugly month. Mowe, Jasud, Andremily library, Bucklin
For September 2025
11 in
20 out
-9 for the month
-32 ytd

A bit overboard in September. 1st time in a long time that I’ve been over.
Purchased:31
Consumed: 23
Step in the right direction but ‘21 Barolo buying is hindering my progress.
BOUGHT: +27
OPENED: -36
BREAKAGE: -1
NET: -10
SINCE I STARTED in March 2025: +22
IN: 0 - perfect willpower
OUT: -11
NET: -11
yeay!
On vacation for all of September.
Drank: -6
Bought: +3
Sold: -9
Net: -12
Very happy that I managed to buy so little.
net minus one for the month, so less than a modicum of progress
YTD purchases down 11.3% from 2024 and 29.9% from 2023
YTD consumption up 35.5% from 2024 and 43.5% from 2023
those trends I want to keep going
Best month in a while with - 27 as the result, mostly due to selling of some bottles. October will be even better ![]()
august and september together pretty decent:
In: 22
Out: 22
Got home pissed off and opened an unplanned bottle. Made it to parity after all. 8 in/8 out
-5 for September! Yes, that is a negative sign! Thank you, Robert Panzer, for not sending today’s offer out until October 1.
+84 YTD so still a lot of work to do. Parity for the year appears impossible, but I’d like to shrink that number further and then go negative for 2026.
From CT inventory, 1 consumed, 1 missing. An unentered recent gift consumed as well. Zero purchases.
Such a ballah.
