The giving up/cutting down alcohol thread part VI

shellywinebelly

Feel much better today now hangover has gone. Got on scales this morning though and am at the heaviest I have ever been :eek: None of my clothes fit me and it is all down to the the wine because the daft thing is I am so careful with what I eat and I go to the gym. Very depressing but this has made me even more determined to give up!

Stick with it, Shel - it does all become worthwhile

Do you want to come onto the end of the January challenge?

Oooooh I done an avatar :j

The circle line now looks like an upside down whale on the tube map (I think so anyway)

Fedup - I quite fancy watching Star Trek again, I hired it on Virgin but wasn't really paying attention. What I saw was very good though!

I'm off for a lurk and then to bed, sober and reasonably happy :A

Hi, just signed up to this website. I'm really serious about cutting down the amount I drink and would really appreciate some support. I just can't talk to my friends or family about alcohol.

Hello and welcome Newme

This thread is excellent and nobody judges you, we are all in it together whether it's cutting down or stopping completely. I have found it to be so supportive.

It's a very busy thread too so someone will be along shortly to add to this - I'm not the most eloquent person here!!

Hey new me - hello and welcome. You'll find alot of support here - lots of different stories.

Sometimes its not easy to talk to those around you , especially about alcohol - here's a little easier, you'll find alot of honesty, acceptance and straightforward (always heartfelt) talking. It might help to allow you to think things through and find your feet.

There were a few links posted earlier in this thread for websites with some good information if you have a look back you'll find some good links.

I'm off to bed to read my book now, I hope you are OK, they're a lovely bunch on here - night night.
