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

Miss_Piggy_2

Morning all!

Firstly:

Angie - well done you!!!:j:j:jThats such a fantastic achievement and you are a real inspiration to the rest of us.

Jo - What a horrendous evening! I do hope your DD1 is ok today. Must have been awful for her. Hope they lock the ex up. Also hope DD2 is feeling better today? Lots of ((hugs))

YM - Well done you on making the big decision to give up. I'll be tagging along. You know we are all here to support you along the way.

Budgie - More big ((hugs)) today.Hope you are ok.


I'm going to be joining YM today I think. Last night wasn't a good night for me either. Piglet was disobedient all day and I was quite frazzled. I managed to work my way through nearly two bottles of wine. Then I had a bath and, on getting out, didn't step on the mat like I should have done, stepped on the laminate and slipped. Wasn't pretty. Lots of bruises this morning. OH trying to assure me that anyone could have done it, that it wasn't because I was drunk. But I know it WAS because I was drunk.

SO.....here I go again. Because it really shook me up. I like to fool myself I can do the moderation thing but I just don't think I can. I just drink until I go to sleep. How many times have I said and dones this before? I feel like a broken record. But I have to keep trying because if I don't, god knows how I'll end up.

Sorry for the long rambling one guys! :rolleyes:

Morning all,

Thanks for the `well dones` ....my 100 days was really about seeing if I can do it. So I plan to continue...yes its a day at a time but I have to have a bigger target so I am working to my 1000 days as a personal goal.

Its been a slog at times but when I have felt weak I come on here & you guys have kept me going more than you will ever know....so I want to say a BIG thankyou to you all:T:T:T:T

YM - great post...admitting that you are drinking too much & getting that down in writing is very therapeutic. I suspect that the cans are a `habit` too so try & find an alternative so you can satisfy that `have to have a can` feeling.

Jo - Honey I hope you get some rest & that your DD is OK. There are some scary peeps in this world !!!

DC - had problem with contact lens myself some years back...try & rest your eye. One of those sleep masks will help or those cooling eye packs.

Miss P , Shaggy, HB,Molly...hope you are all well...& `hi` to anyone I`ve missed out this morning.

Have a happy monday folks.

DC, sorry don't mean to mock but PMSL, sounds like your weekend was as horrendous as mine xx

HB, I will be with you 72 hour'ers in spirit (no pun intended :undecided) but am going to be sat next to YM on the just for today section of the wagon so will not count my chickens

Thanks to all for hugs and stuff, feel pretty drained, amazingly hung over, and need to get my 'aris in gear and go to work. Dropped DS at school, he was right as reign but didn't want to go, then took DD2 to docs who is ill but desperate to go to school :rolleyes: then dropped into DD1's school and managed to catch the head of 6th form as he walked through the door and he's now sent a message to every member of staff to say that if ex-bf is seen on site to call the police immediately, he actually had to drive her home a few months ago after the last incident :rolleyes: I've left her in bed and told her not to go in yet till she's caught up with some sleep (lucky for some, didn't sleep a wink last night).

Right, off to put some work clothes on and get in as we were short staffed anyway today and Monday's are always manic!

Speak to you all later x

But still no Bhb or Winebox where are they?

Coooeeey :hello:

Sorry for my absence - Got a little distracted with other obsessions

Haven't been overdoing it, on the contrary really :j

Am currently managing to keep to 4 units max a day ..... unless I have beer !
I think the habit is mostly beer not alcohol...if you see what I mean.

I thought I had better bring up feet again, as it hasn't been mentioned for such a long time :rotfl:

I had a minor op last Monday to remove both big toenails and the beds, so currently have a district nurse coming to see me every day to check the stitches and change the dressing Mrs BHB is having to pamper to my every need and life is just so terrible this week :rotfl:

I have this week off work too, but in reality am a bit bored sitting around ! I can't wait to get out and about again :cool:

Best Wishes
BHB

PS. I'm not even going to try and read back - what a lot of chatter boxes

72 Hours here we come! 10 hours into it now. I am off to have sunbed ( I know its bad for me!) Glad im not hungover, imagine doing that with sweats and shakes. Yak!!!

Hope people have great and sober day

Good to see you BHB!:hello:

Toenails thing sounds horrible....poor you! Although having a district nurse come in must make it seem worthwhile

Good job you popped in...think Budgie was going to be sending a search party out for you!

Wow looks like everyone had a busy weekend.

Jo you are more than welcome to join me on my journey as is Miss P and anyone else who feels like it.

Hi Bhb nice to hear from you again. Was going to post a picture of a toenail being removed but thought better of it Thought of when you mentioned District Nurse
