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

Different_Corner

PIR Hope you are okay.
Jo, you are right alcohol is over-rated. Yesterday I toiled in the garden - what I call weeding, and by 5 o'clock the reward bell was clanging. I gave in.

Still today is another day.

People talking about surfing the urge is making me get The Beach Boys in my head

"If everybody had an ocean
Across the USA
Then everybody'd be surfing
Like Californi-a"

I'm listening to that song now on Youtube, very summery anyway for this weather.;)

21 days for me today!!!

I have to say I wouldn't be finding this as easy if I didn't have you guys to talk to (well not that it's easy but you know what I mean!:p)

AF - I did drink last night, one bottle of red, am feeling slightly guilty though still trying to be positive and not beat myself up about it. I bought a small vodka for tonight and I didnt touch that - that's a big achievement for me! Am going to have some Kudzu this afternoon so I dont start early as I want to get my dad's circular saw out and cut some more wood. I've never used it before!!:eek::eek:

My dad passed away 15 month ago and I've got all his tools.

Tonight is going to be my last drink and I want to enjoy it watching the final of BGT!

Just want to say I cant quote everybody but I really enjoy reading this thread and ty :T

Hi all
Thank you all for the thoughts for the meeting last night. Well done to all those with good AF das this month and hugs to those who are struggling. I was terrified at the meeting - shaking and everything - but it was good- I found it interesting to hear all the different stories - they were so friendly and welcoming. They said to just go to a few and see if it was for me - I didn't have to go again etc etc. I admit I was desperate for a drink when I left - like cravings really bad, but my friend had made me promise I'd go round her's after the meeting so I did and we had tea and that, and chatted with my other friend who was there.

I wasn't sure what affect it had had on me but I do feel a kind of hope and almost excitement about things today. The feelings of shame and guilt at what I've done when drinking are very strong though today - guess because I can think a little more clearly nad it's hard not to be tempted to get rid of the thinking with more drink. I'm trying though. I'm going to go to another meeting tonight as a whole weekend without a drink is really really scary at the moment.

Thank you again for all the best wishes and things - it really helps - much more than I can describe.
