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

mollypolly

Hello Peeps

Sorry i'm not around much at the moment....just toooooooo busy.
Anyway have just caught up and wanted to say Congratulations to Dotstar!!!

Fedupandskint...I hope you are ok.I am sorry to read about your troubles.No one can tell you whether you are doing the right thing or not.You have to decide what you want and what is right for you.At least there are no children involved , so you can be selfish....Look after Number One...as my lovely Dad used to say.You arn't on this earth very long so make the most of your time.Be Happy.

Well done PriceIsRight and BHB on resisting temptation.Great achievements.:T:T

Jo...I hope your face is less swollen in the morning for work.And that you soon feel less carp.....Well done on 2 weeks AF....That is a great achievement even if you have been poorly.I bet not so long ago you would have either not taken the tablets or risked a drink anyway:rolleyes:

Hi to everyone else.
BB.....still cloudy sunshine for us eh;)

Oh...and re the hampers/baskets....I went on the pictures thread last year and got lots of ideas for hampers for all the family.I covered cardboard boxes in lovely xmas paper for some of them instead of paying for baskets.They were really nice.
I got the cellophane off ebay.Yards and yards of the stuff for not much
money.
All my family were really impressed with how professional they looked....even Me;)

Right...going to do a bit more work now but will try to catch you all later
Have a lovely evening.
Love Mollypollyxxxx

Had a couple on Thursday, few on Friday and last night... well we won't go int o last night , but yes, I am back aboard looking to chalk up another few days. Starting to be comfortable with not drinking in the week, which I think was my aim really

ETA - Thursday was an exception - I went 'up west'....

Hi guys :hello:

Happy Sunny Sunday to you all :A

And happy sunny smiles to Dotstar and the impending ankle biter :T how wonderful for you sweetheart and it is indeed a reason not to drink at all. I did not touch one drop of alcohol whilst I was pregnant, I don't smoke, I ate everything that was healthy including tomatoes, (and I don't do tomatoes) and inspite of this my Ds was still premature and weighed only 4lb 3oz. I always think what a good job it was that I did all of the above as if I hadn't what could of happened? So keep yourself healthy and well sweetheart and lots of love to you all. :Axxxxxxxxxxxxxxx


Gc nice to hear from you matey and keep posting we miss you when you don't. So remember don't read and run, try and post the most Hugs and lots of love xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Fedup hugs sweetheart and I hope that you are working through your feelings and getting to a place where you can think more clearly? We are all here to try and offer you support and of course send you our love :A Take care sweetheart xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Jo sorry to hear you are still all swollen, I hope that your Ds football match went well? I unfortunately will not be where Fay is on my jollies to Scotland, I am near Aberforth. I did intend to go to Wales but that was cancelled so Scotland it is. We shall see if the tarot reader was right? Hmmm? Oh and please don't give poor Fay a heartattack, she has only just got rid of one house guest. Good luck for today and your 2 weeks af :T you are doing so well I wish I could hug you in person, because I just feel so pleased for you. Take care and look after yourself. :A xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Pricey Hi sweetheart and well done on staying af yesterday :T It really is a great achievement and something you should feel very proud of. Sadly I don't think I could move to be nearer my Ds as the house price difference would be so huge. Still I have chatted to him earlier today and yesterday so I am feeling happy with that, (as you have too). Oh and doing the ironing :eek: I advocate the iron as you wear scheme works like a charm Well done again and take care. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Bhb (I like pink for you ) well done on not buying the beer yesterday. You know I think in your own mind that it would not stop at just one night. You are doing so brilliantly well and we are all behind you, wanting you to succeed. So keep positive my friend you have proved you can and are staying af and that is such a fantastic achievement :T Ps sorry you too have jaw ache, Ouch. Keep the faith and take care :A xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Wbf hugs sweetheart and on the positive side you should hear something tomorrow? I do hope so, (fingers crossed). And yes I am trying to get my Dh out of the house, my Ds and myself are going to do a fishing hamper, my Ds is buying a rod licence and I am getting a local permit. So we'll put these together with some other bits and bobs and then wrap in cello. I am a cello junkie But do please try to keep yourself occupied as well as it is so easy to feel down. I am very worried about my Dh at the moment, we have talked earlier and he is very down. (I was in tears at one point, as I don't know what to do to make him better?) Sorry to go off on a tangent. Hugs Angel and please let us know when you hear about the job. Lots of love xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

MollyPolly hugs sweetheart and nice to hear from you, re: this hampering. we can confer if we find any good bargains in our dear home town? I just get so excited if I spot a nice basket, (yes I know I need to get out more) Some women buy bags and shoes with me its hamper baskets. Still its more on the lines of mse, don't you agree? Hugs and enjoy the rest of today. xxxxxxxxxxxxx
