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

eselt

Hi all- all I can say is 'phew' Lillibet, you scared me half to death last night- chin up girl, you'll get through this, I promise, people do, theres no evidence you can't be one of those people ((hugs))

Oh fay, you made me laugh, I was brought up by my grandmother to believe women are like the queen, so they don't fart- thank god I found out they do or I could have spontaneously human combusted by the age of 12- and that wouldn't have been good for me or the environment.

40something- I too have a step/mock ski/treadmill torture thing in the garage- it cost so much I just assumed it came with someone who would pop on it and do the work for me-makes no sense paying that much and doing the hard work yourself does it?

Have a great weekend everyone, hope everyone is OK.

Can i be VERY awkard here and say i have had noticeably MORE gurgling since being AF?

EDIT..... I mentioned this to non-alcohol-drinkin husband and he said, "No, you were worse before just usually too !!!!ed to notice"

Another shameful moment.

Another thing.....i feel so pleased to be able to tell my daughters (22 and 23) each day that i haven't had a drink. Neither of them, or my son drink either. Funnily enough, first husband didn't too.
I should spend time working out a connection there.

Hi ALL

40 SM we have a wii fit and its awesome and glad you had a giggle its tough sometimes. Especially with the bells of doom clanging away saying.......... pick me pick me. Pah to those bells.

Elset my granma was the same - although my gramps use ot encourage us to pump in the potting shed to see who could make the most noise!!

Waves to all - I have just bought my very first dandielion and burdock

Edit Jo we do have a wii fit = I get embarrassed though cos it tells me I haven't seen it in a while must step onto it and be horrified if it does say I haven''t lost anything ..............got a kenco voucher today and thought of you!

Went to supermarket during danger time :eek: but have been very very :A just bought some bits for a 'junk' tea and invested in some D&B and some ginger beer.

I kept looking at the wine isle - usually if I go at this time of night I get wine but did 3 supermarkets and got some lovely juice - kids think its christmas cos we are never allowed fizzy pop.

I also bought a pack of lavender, an orchid and a pack of sweetpea plants all for less than 2 bottles of wine.

Lilds have lovely orchids in at the moment here they last so long they are definately a bargain - have ot work at home at desk tonight so will get pj's on quick to stop temptatioin later - this is THE LONGEST I think I have gone without at blip so touching lots of wood. So my poor bell clangers have turned into plants -

Fay :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Unlike yourself I am a lady and as such never actually "fart" I am more like one of those air freshners that emit a gentle burst of fresh fragrance at 30 min intervals :D (dont think that time has increased or decreased at all:o)

NTC - there aint nothing lady like about me except my size (5ft) and I am normally covered in mud in wellies - not exactly high fashion or very flattering.
