The giving up/cutting down alcohol support thread! Part 2

budget_babe

Dearest Fedup, well done on sticking to the squash :T I have refrained from saying this but have you ever thought of changing your username?

I don't mean that in a light hearted way, but it just seems that you are having so much bad luck at the moment. I am thinking of along the lines of removing negativity and putting in positivity?

I had a fad once where I was into feng shui. I went around cleansing energy and removing negativity. I also made poor Mr BB remove NEW mirror wardrobe doors as they were a definite no no in feng shui. I had put them in to make the room look bigger but a few weeks later they were out and gone. Good job he loves me and is used to my sometimes trying ways?

I just hope that things do improve for you though as it is about time you had some good luck and a change for the better.

So take care Sweetheart and I hope that you are feeling brighter soon?

Lots love and hugs
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Ps I have just noticed in your earlier post that you said: You just want to cry. I am sorry that you are feeling so down. It is miserable when everything seems to be going wrong and nothing good seems to be happening. Just hang in there and things will improve for you. We are all here for you and WE ALL HOPE that life gets brighter for you soon Angel. Lots of love and extra ((())) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Well done fed up- when I was feeling low I always used to grab a drink to try and blot it out- didn't help at all of course, so why did it take me 20 yrs to figure that out?!

Welcome back old friends- BHB, Shoppy and YM- anyone else lurking, let us know you are alive and well.

Budgie- your posts are so thoughtful and you try and give everyone a lift- thank you so much.

Right, back to the apprentice- who does everyone really love/hate this year?

Budgie - don't panic! I'm bimbling around, just had a lot on recently

Sad to miss Jo's birthday and Molly's anniversary.......

Happy belated birthday, hun

Well done MP, you're inspirational!!!

Good morning all!

Budgie - thanks for the concern. I'm heartily fed up of bugs...not just me though, my Mum and Dad and Piglet seem to be catching everything going too. Tried Echinacea but seems to make no difference. Might try aromatherapy like you suggested. I've used it for Hayfever in the past and its worked. Oh, and Piglet hugs work a treat! OH never seems to catch any of these bugs (touch wood!!). Swear he's not human!!!

Fedup - hope you are feeling brighter today. I know how it feels and you have my sympathys. Well done on resisting the wine though!

Shoppy - hello!!! Good to see you visiting. Bet you are excited about your little boy!!

BHB and YM - Good to see you back too!

Happy Shopper 8 for me please!!

Busy day for me today, but will keep telling myself its just today and then I've got four days off!

Looking forward to the long Easter weekend. Normally I would already be planning a lot of drinking ( a box of wine would, no doubt, have found its way into the shopping!). But this time I'm busy planning other stuff! I've got loads of little eggs and we are going to do an Easter Egg hunt for Piglet. Got to charge up the camcorder as well to capture it all! Also going to blitz the house, cleaning carpets etc.

Well, everyone have a good day. ((hugs)) to anyone feeling poorly or down.

I have had a shaky start, was AF tuesday, drank wednesday and AF again last night, so Im back on track.

Fedup I agree about the user name, its kind of like a self fullfilling prophecy. I hope things look up for you soon, you deserve some happiness x also well done for not drinking the wine, that was exactly what I did wednesday, except I drank it:o

Wanna_Bee_Free

Well I'm feeling a lot better this morning, without a hangover, although I did succumb to a glass or two of wine last night so still on 1 day so far in April.

Have a lovely long weekend everyone.
