    Mornin' all ;)

    I'm like a fuzzy headed bear today after a shocking night's sleep, no alcohol at all this week.

    Lurky can you put me down for 5/8 please?

    Still deciding whether to have a couple of glasses of wine tonght or leave it as AF. Can't decide at all at the moment. Still plenty of time left to decide.

    Hope everyone has a good day, Fedups :rotfl: :rotfl: :j

  • Morning All,

    2.5 Units for me again last night. Sticking with it so far :j

    I found this earlier ......following on from yesterdays discussion........

    (Take your pick ) :


    Alcoholic as defined by healthy drinking limits

    According to this definition of alcoholic, a male drinking more than 8 pints of usual strength lager (5%abv) per week, on a routine basis would be classified as an alcoholic. A female drinking more than 1.5 bottles of wine (13%abv) per week on a routine basis would be classified as an alcoholic.

    Alcoholic as defined by psychological addiction to alcohol

    According to this definition of alcoholic, anyone suffering from marked cravings to use alcohol, who has developed a regular routine of alcohol use and who routinely places more importance on the use of alcohol than other important activities, would be classified as an alcoholic.

    Alcoholic as defined by physical addiction to alcohol

    According to this definition of alcoholic, anyone suffering from alcohol withdrawal symptoms such as tremor and sweating when going without a drink for a period of time, would be classified as an alcoholic.

    hi lurky, can you put me down for 7 out of 8.

    i was begining to lose motivation, yesterday i felt almost jet lagged and felt so tired and weary. but thankfully today has been my sort of AF "breakthrough" day. slept pretty good, eyes are white, skin feels lovely and soft, feel a hell of a lot more on the ball. all the result of no toxins (excepts kitkats!) in my body since 2 glasses on sat night.

    please guys stick with it, unfortunately it does get worse before it gets better as your body is in withdrawl (is that a word??!!)

    have a good day.
    shame about the course YM, i havnt played for ages my dad keeps trying to get me to play again, maybe i should!
    TRC - i had a dream about you and BSH last night...but i cant go in to it.....:eek: :eek: :o:o
    :eek: :D
