The giving up/cutting down alcohol support thread Part 8!

So_Sad_Angel

Hi Everyone....how are we all doing?

384 AF days for me....wow . The odd thing is I still have to remind myself of how long its been so that I keep on the straight & narrow.

I do agree with what GC said though....I realise now that I also had to change `me` to move on from the alcohol. That was so tough...& although I am still alone in my life I have found an inner peace & I no longer need that escapism that the bottle of wine a night gave me.

What I am trying to say is that I guess now I want to remember rather than try & forget....if that makes sense.

Good luck to everyone....this is a tough journey but every journey starts with that single step....be strong & keep smiling .

Evening all (()) marru

ssa - lovely to hear from you - alot of what you're saying rings very true in my ears. I like waking up not wondering what kind of idiot/cunning/sneakiness/big gobbedness I've been doing the night before to have a drink or after a good amount of drink without anyone really knowing I've had anything or more than I was supposed too.

Day 1/100 completed (ho ho ho) harder tonight - bit stressed. Taking things slowly - day at a time.

(sorry lurks had to be done)

I'm off to bed *night* x

Morning All :j

I had a great night's sleep last night:D and am on 15 AFDs. Off to see what you've all been up to.

morning all,
no course today so I can sit in my jammies on the puter for a little bit. The comedy club last night was very good and I drank two ginger ales. First time I've drunk ginger ale in ages and I have to say it didn't taste half as gingery as I remember it - another sign of ageing I guess.

I have a head cold at the moment and a cracking sinus headache so I'm just waiting for the medicine I've taken to start working.

Faye, I totally agree with the waking up after a night out and knowing that you've not done/said anything stupid/hurtful etc. I don't think it's boring to be sober and unhungover anymore - wish I'd come to this conclusion about 15 years ago!

HAve a good day everyone

Morning all :wave:

Thanks for yesterday :A everything just got to me

Anyways, onwards and upwards. I wasn't AF yesterday but I had 1 can (iinstead of 6) and so feel unhungovered this morning.

Something fairly HUGE happened last night, I told somebody about my drinking problem, a work colleague. I don't know if I've done the right thing (it wasn't a boss or anything), I am hoping he will keep it to himself. He is a recovered alcoholic himself. I feel like a huge weight had been lifted.....but lets wait and see if the entire place knows about it this morning :eek:

Ah well........nowt I can do now!

Off to do the kids lunches and get ready.....chow for now :wave:

That is a GIANT leap Jo. Well done.

I do hope that it has positive benefits.
