The cutting out/cutting down alcohol thread (part 7)

Stupidly, admitting that I'm struggling

For me, it's admitting that alcohol has that hold on me that makes me deal with it. Have no idea if that makes sense

Anyhoo, feel better for saying it & will (hopefully) get through the night ok

Of course, it also depends how scary Dr Who is...meep! :eek:

Hugs ((())) HB I'm doing the Merry bit but not finding it easy either.

The evening kind of looms ahead! Shouldn't be like that!

Hugs to you to, hon

Know what you mean about the evening looming, it's so depressing that drink can have that effect. Everything we can do with a drink is still there so why should it make difference?

Thanks HB, That's exactly what I meant. I've decided to go off to Mr Ts's
and get a few things to pass the time. Need hair dye as I'm going to a
do tomorrow lunchtime.

Just a quick one - it took me almost a year to realise a Friday or a Saturday night AF were no different to any other night without drinking alcohol. They were a night like any other one and what difference did drinking make to these evenings when I managed perfectly well not drinking in the week.

It took me ages to get this thought straight in my mind as the weekend were always drinking nights. Now I can manage them fine AF

Once I made this connection in my mind it made things much easier for me at weekends.

I'm dying my hear tomorrow as haven't been able to because of the eczema for ages - we're the dying hair bear bunch!
