The giving up/cutting down alcohol support thread! Part 4

Wanna_Bee_Free

Evening everyone. Another one for me today so up to 3/12 please YM. Funny, I never thought of you as scary - what have I missed!! :rolleyes:

So, good luck to icelandic maiden and of course to grey pilgrim. And hugs to SSAngel, remember the liver is an amazing organ.

Right, I'm off to polish my halo. I'm sad enough to like posting on here (good news that is) any time but try to do it last thing as my mornings are a bit too chaotic at the moment.

G'night all.

Tried it again tonight and found it bloody hard work, but actually manageable.

Its still a bit of a monster in my head and I'm a bit scared of trying it in case I can't manage it again. Funny how a piece of road can become such a big thing inside your head, isn't it?

Anyhoo, enough rubbish. I'm off to bed now. Sweet dreams everyone.

Hey GP,

There is a fairly small hill in Edale called the Nab...tried it 2 weeks ago & came back down realising halfway up that it was beyond me.

Since that day that damn hill has been gnawing away at my mind...yesterday I did it...it nearly killed me & so many times I stopped looked up & saw how far I had to go...& then looked down seeing that I had actually come so far....giving up would be wasting all that effort so far.

So I pushed on & tbh by the end of a tough 5 miles of climbing & at times scrambling, as it was very rough track in places, my knees had turned to jelly & I really felt like crying ...but I got back to the car & felt absolutely amazing as I stared back up to the summit behind me !! Wow I felt great!

I will certainly do it again!!

Sleep well everyone,

Angiexx

good morning - well, it's dismal here - grey and drissling but never mind.

Another AFD yesterday so that's a total of 10 YM please.

I have a really sore lower back today so will need to take it easy - I think I must have slept in a bad position.


Have a good day everyone

Good Morning
I know I keep harping on about this sleep thing but I can't believe how much better I feel. Checking in with a 15/30.

What a lovely morning it is!

I'm still on my week off, before I start studying again, mature student-ville, here I come.... :rolleyes: But I'm now back home after spending a lovely 3 days with my family in Manchester.

Pleased to say that I have been AF the whole time, so please could you add another 3 AFD to my total, YM. That should make it 12/27 AFD for me.

Funnily enough, I haven't really thought about having a drink over the last few days, probably because my parents don't drink and also because I didn't see any friends or my brothers, who would no doubt lead me down the boozy path of doom..........

Completely by coincidence, the issue of AA came up one day when I was chatting to my dad. (I have only revealed to my OH and 2 friends that I go to AA meetings). OMG, his reaction was so negative and brutal!

I accept that my dad's opinion is based upon complete ignorance, generalisation and hearsay, that people who go to AA are weirdos, religious freaks and/or social rejects, but despite me feeling desperate to put him right about everything he said, I think I'll stay quiet.

There is no way I am going to fess up to my parents about AA - some things are better left unsaid. My dad is way too long in the tooth to change his views, regardless of what I could tell him about AA. Don't get me wrong, my dad is a wonderful man and I love him to bits - I'm content to agree to disagree with him on this issue!

ANWAY - mobile hairdresser is coming round shortly to chop my bonce, then I'll get to doing some jobs round the house. Ah, happy days - I could get used to this no working malarkey

Hugs to all,
Caz

Morning all

12 for me please lovely YM!!!

DC, know what you mean by the sleep. I slept so well last night that when OH kissed me goodbye I asked him what he was up to getting up in the middle of the night. It was actually 5.30, his usual getting up time!
