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

fedupandskint

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

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 ) :

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:
