Good Morning Everyone,
Hope you are all ok.

Fedupandskint ...Go for number one on your list.You really can have a good time without getting drunk.Just keep in mind the hangover you are avoiding.It is nearly a year now since I had a drink but I can still remember the last hangover very clearly.......it was during this that I made the decision never to drink again.
Waking up with a clear head and a lovely sunny day ahead of you is a much nicer feeling than drinking alcochol!!!!

Welcome to the thread barneydee and good luck with cutting down/giving up.

Budgetbabe ...thanks for your posts..you put alot of time and effort into them, and always seem to remember everyone in them....dont know how you do it;)

Jo ......Hope you are ok and still hanging in there.

Lots of peeps missing on here...Lurky,BHB,GP, YM,Shoppy etc....Where are you all

Take care everyone and have a good day.
Love Mollypollyxxxx

Hello and welcome barneydee

I am sure you will find this thread helpful. I am quite new myself and never thought I would manage even 1 day AF on my first month joining the challenge [this month] I envisaged myself quietly scurrying away with my head hanging in shame never to be heard of in here again :rotfl: But, I have exceeded my low target I set for myself because my pride wouldn't let me fail :rolleyes:

I understand what you are going through with your daughter and it doesn't help at all and makes you need a drink sometimes!!! One of my three was what I called 'a wild child' for want of a better expression. He put us through years of hell and stress, but is now 25, got a mortgage, a dog and cat, got engaged recently, and is happier in B&Q buying things to do his little house up with than going out on the tiles all night :T The light at the end of the tunnel is there but sometimes it feels as if it is a long time coming

Good luck with the cutting down

Reporting in..... 12 and 10 please, sis We're threatening to hit the jumpy target this month

Welcome barneydee - you will find good support and advice from this lot (and a load of old nonsense from me )

fuas - Number 1..... Think of something to tell them why you HAVE to drive if you need to.... but you can have a good time without the demon drink

I will echo what molly and gc say, budgie. you take a lot of time to mention (and keep up with) people on here. well done! Always a kind word for everyone. Thanks x

Hi to everyone else :wave: - hope you are all doing well

spider125

sorry to jump in here, I found I was drinking about 1-2 botts of wine after work each night!!! stress of work and habit (excuses) then one evening i dint have enough and no wine in house so I drank orange cordial in my wine glass and realised it wasnt wine i wanted just a drink(?) I havent touched wine now for 6 weeks despite a bttl in fridge, the odd can of lager at weekend now gives me a hangover!! am I on the verge of TT ( also lost 1/2 stone in weight so I am happy!!!!!!)
