Cutting down just does`nt work for me....all or nothing:eek::eek:

I actually think that it may be the meds that are making me feel ill. Can`t change that but got loads more energy being AF!

Well done on cutting down though Bat....you have done brilliantly given the stress that you`ve been through. (was going to use the beer smilie here but not appropriate on this thread really:D:D)

Hello all,

I am stuck on 2 AF days and am feeling pretty piddled off with myself.

I have had a bottle of wine every night since Wednesday and I think that the only way I am going to get out of this cycle is to stop drinking completely.

I have managed to go 3 months without a drink and then think I can drink moderately but then end up back at square one so I think I will join IM on the 100 day challenge - that will take me almost up to New Year.

Reading some of the posts from people who have given up completely is really inspiring, and it is so nice that they still come on here to support those of us who haven't reached that point. Thank you, and hopefully one day I can become one of those people.

I've just worked out that if I do a 100 day challenge, including last night, would make day 100 the 28th December, which is the date my dad died back in 1993. Possibly not freaky for you lot, but as I've discovered that I think he might be my higher power, I think that's odd :eek:

Anyways, gotta rush, half the school will be out today as it's Eid and the kids are predominately Muslim which is great as it will be quiet...but 75% of the staff are too so that means supply teachers everywhere :eek:

Chow now

Morning everyone,
Jo...that is spooky.Maybe you should listen to what you are being told (for a change:D)....Go for that hundred day challenge.The money would be great for xmas for your childrens pressies ....This is great..:j..Go for it girl.....and challenge Fay to join you too;):rolleyes::D.

Mumofseven....If you go way back to the very first thread you will see that I too gave up for about three months then thought I was in control.....I wasn't.Sadly for some of us it really is a case of All or Nothing(see my sig)....If you decide to join the 100 day challenge this will take you past 3 months and past xmas....Good Luck.

Have a good day YM and everyone else.
Off to get weighed now.

See you later
Love Mollypollyxxxx
