The giving up/cutting down alcohol support thread! Part 5

(sneaks in quietly.........)

Hi everyone,

It's me (for those who remember :rolleyes:).

I've come back. I wanted to come back and post ages ago, but I didn't, because I've gone back to drinking regularly again.

I want to stop, but I haven't stopped yet. I haven't thought it through properly yet, I have no plan, no target, no nothing actually. There's just the drink in my hand at the moment, I'm afraid.

I've really missed you all.

Hello again, by the way. Did I mention I have missed you all?

As for me, I am back to square one. Drinking most days. Hiding the voddy. Have fibbed about it too. Am thinking during the morning about what time I can start drinking and how. Blah blah blah, it's the same sad routine for me...............again....................

Anyway, I am not going to commit to anything at the mo. It's just wonderful to be back. I was hiding and I came back.

Hello! Again!

Byee!

Hugs to all.

Good evening,

YM -

Cazza - Nice to have you back. Please remember that when I joined this thread it was your posts that were significant to me. Perhaps you should read some of your old posts back I think Jo is spot on there.

I was going to do some overtime but then school called to say that DD was poorly. Went to pick her up and there is nothing matter with her. She was perhaps tad bit warm. Tried to log on from home to finish off some bits but couldn't. Blaaah. Anyway I am going to put that "poorly" person to bed early and chill out.

This morning when she was tantruming about going to school I thought that I will go and buy a muffin on my way to work and then I realised what I was doing. DD tantruming has nothing to do with what my body needs for nourishment. I also realised that that is exactly how I approached drink as well. So from now on if I think I really want/need something I am going to stop and find out if that really is the case or is there something else I would need more. So is it to feed my physical being or my emotions.

Scores on board shortly...

Loving those lights YM, they really do make me feel all christmassy, we drive past a house near here every day just so the kids can gawp at the lights, but I won't put mine up till nearer christmas

Thanks MrsDee for your comments about my 'treat' dilemma I have given the kids their tea and am about to run a bath for them, then its jammies on the sofa, milk and hopefully bed at 7pm, this used to work a treat, but now they just start playing together in the room/trashing it etc. so I usually end up up and down then finally giving in and sitting in with them till they are asleep :rolleyes: oh the beauty of twins..

anyway Welcome back Cazzasmazza, I too have been awol for a while and trying to get some sort of control back at the moment...good luck hun x

Catch you all later

Well, as I only put 1 so you wouldn't have a zero I don't think it;'s too significant LOL. I just know I need to take it one day at a time.

As a comment on the emotions triggering 'treats/alcool' I'm feeling it at the moment. I have just rung DH only to find that he's just left work over an hour later than usual and hasn't had the coutesy to ring me and tell me he was going to be late the B. I've kept the kids waiting for dinner so we could have it together and now it's goign to be way passed their bedtime. I am incandescent with rage and need to calm down so I don't smack the idiot when he walk in the door:mad::mad::mad: I would usually have a gin and tonic , and I might choose to do so later but I will wait for now and feed my poor children.

Gin and Tonic or a smack??? OOoh SMACK!!!!

No seriously, just tell him calmly and truthfully how you feel and then go and do something nice for you (that has nothing to do with non AF substances)
