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

115K

I was actually craving a drink earlier but I am determined to have one day AF! I am going to try Lurkio's technique. It sounds good. :T

(Why don't oysters give to charity?
Because they're shellfish.)

I actually thought to myself, I can have just 1 or 2 drinks tonight because my liver isn't actually properly damaged, if I just have a drink today but then stop tomorrow it's not gonna make any different to my liver cos the function test was okay.

what am I on???

It's true alcohol is such powerful stuff that makes your brain think things that are out of your control.

I have had this thought many times over the last few months while doing the cutting down.

'If I have one tonight it won't matter cos I'll still hit the target'.
'If I have one tonight I doesn't matter if I don' hit my target cos I'm still drinking less.'

It's like alcohol is whispering to me and changing my thoughts from earlier in the day when I think I'm not drinking today. Now I've made the decision to be AF all month it's not like this now but we're only 5 days in.

Gosh Jo that's really surprised me, cos up to this point you've given the impression that for the moment at least you're quite happy / relaxed about not drinking. It is indeed scary how insidious it is. What was going on when you had the thought? Was it very early in the day? (not during Corrie or 'endres by chance, both full of booze tonight, as per...)

I am quite happy/relaxed about not drinking probably 20 out of 24 hours a day, the other 4 I have the same cravings as normal. Particularly bad tonight as OH is out and I'm home alone and can do whatever I please which for years has been a ticket to get drunk....the habit is still there even if I can't do it anymore.

I shrugged it off much quicker than usual because I'm just saying to myself that I can't do it.
