The giving up/cutting down alcohol support thread! Part 3

RecoveringAlcoholic

Lots of positive posts here in the last few days.:D

Ten years ago my GP advised me to go to AA.
I ignored his advice.

P.S.
Remembering that alcoholism is an incurable, progressive, fatal disease.

Afternoon everyone,

So tired here I am almost falling asleep on my keyboard. Have been eating very badly but No Booze, so another AFD. Will catch up later...

Whats with the Choklit Avvy Jo ? you are making me hungry!

Just found out why my avvies weren't showing up, unfortunately after I'd emailed the techie guys....again. I think they thought me a bit dim last time I asked them a couple of months ago as they told me to 'sign in' :rolleyes:, well I'm not dim, just takes me a while to catch on

I love choklit and that's about it, it's a deep and meaningful avvie

I have been reading about alcoholism online and need to come here for a bit of light relief! I'm considering going to AA but I just really dread the thought of walking in the first time and seeing someone I know.:eek:

I didn't know what your avvie was Jo, I thought it was a picture of a cheese toastie.:p

jo1972

Ooooh I love cheese toasties as well :drool:

AA is not scary and even if you do bump into someone you know you know your secret will be safe with them as theirs will be with you. You would both be there for the same reason. It's good that you are taking these steps, it's the hardest part of the battle.....kind of :rolleyes: Good luck with whatever you choose to do, we're all here for you xx

ETA: it's kinda like walking into a Weightwatchers meeting, I remember seeing half my neighbours there when I went to a local one years ago :rotfl:

By the way, I think I've happily scared off all the serious gardening types over there with my smut, I was going to edit but then I thought 'eff it'
