BHB, don’t wanna put a downer on things but I have to be honest, I’m really concerned about you at the moment. Are you sure it’s a good idea to drink again? I presume you’ve thought it through, just hope you didn’t have rose tinted glasses on. You have openly said you had a problem with drink previously, are you sure you’re over it? Sorry, don’t wanna do a preach’y thing but I know that I couldn’t do controlled drinking and I am in no way saying you have the same problem as me, I think I’m just saying, be careful xx

BHB...I'm with Jo on this.Please be careful.
We have seen you sneak off the wagon before ...and then fall flat on your face.
Like Jo I don't want to preach, but think carefully...without the rose tinted specs......CAN YOU CONTROL ALCOHOL or are you again letting it control you.:rolleyes:

Only thinking about you;)
Take care
Love Mollypollyxxxx

Prof wbf what you say makes sense (well, not those bad jokes...)

Hi Fay 40sm Lurky mp hopeful34 budgie and all

Welcome foreverhopeful.

I've been backsliding somewhat....:o....hanging on in there though.

What I don't get is...the 5 days I had af at the start of the month...it wasn't a struggle...hardly heard a winebell all week....it was great to watch my favourite TV progs just the once & remember what happened (& not have to video it in case I fell asleep which I usually did) & I read 3 books & did loads & enjoyed myself! Not to mention the money saved & the lack of hangovers. You know what I'm going to say next don't you?...why don't I just carry on & do it every week? I don't get it.

Its good listening to this - I am away in July for a bit with chums etc and thinking OK I will do normal drinking for 10 days and then come back home and be on the wagon big styleeee. Odd that I am thinking this already - but all my chums are huge drinkers -- and I mean HUGE - so that combined with holiday - am a bit scared TBH - iron will is OK ish at home but away - ????

But a wee voice in my head is thinking - hmmmmmmmmm you think so?!?

Good luck BHB - x

If a 'normal' person turns up on here - someone best tell them they are in the wrong place...................

BHB it CAN be done I am really really strict now with my not drinking on week nights even if the bells are a hollering, and drink only at weekends now and I stick to the recommended limits and then that is it. I didn't think I could do it, but it CAN be done. I find it easier to not allow myself to drink during the week and I do know my limits at the weekend.

If you can do it - that's fine, if you can't..........:rolleyes:

I'm gonna give it until the schools break up and then review.
