    HB - No rules - except perhaps............. take each day as it comes, breathe in and out slowly and try to be nice to yourself.

    On here you might find alot of honesty, bucket loads of support, a fair bit of madness and hopefully a bit of clarity.

    And a fair bit of madness - and YM - well done for offering for Sept - :)

    PS Cazz count me in for an AFTues :)

    Afternoon people!

    YM - well done on volunteering for September...I'll be MORE than happy to hand over the reins!!

    Honeybear (and all other newbies!) - welcome! No rules around here, just do what you feel you need to do. As already mentioned we have cutter downers and giver uppers. Like Sam, I'm trying to give up as alcohol was really starting to rule (and ruin) my life.

    I'm finding it hard to keep up with the thread - its so busy!!!

    Catch up later

    Doesn't sound lame at all. I have decided to stop altogether. I only really used to drink on Fridays and Saturdays but occasionally would indulge midweek if watching football or going out with mates. I could never just have one or two though and would always end up putting away double figures in pints. In a nutshell i decided to stop altogether because i am a bit of a **** when drunk and the things i was doing could have made me lose all i have. So far done 8 days AF and feeling absolutely awesome.

    Sam

    Well done you :T I hope you feel really proud cos you should :)

    I do feel sorry for you and it will be tough tonight. Perhaps you need help as you seem to support Arsenal sick3qx.gif. My god how awfull :D. Terrible affliction to have. Hope you recover one day ;)

    I have discovered a serious side effect to this not drinking. Has anyone else found themselves singing a song by an Australian pop superstar. Washing up this morning I was singing " Too many broken hearts " by Jason Donovan. !!!!!! was that all about :rolleyes:

    Off on bike ride now. Ta Ta

    ym

    Just catching up and OMG!!!! Just choked on my sandwich. Now I'll be singing it all day :rotfl:
    Need to start again :o

    Why not join us tonight ? how about an AFD under your belt - or open the wine, tip half of it down the sink :eek: and have the rest - ?

    Small steps :)
