The Giving Up/Cutting Down Alcohol Support Thread - Numero 9!

Puzzcat

Well done Ragdoll, I find that I can not have my chosen alcohol (red wine) in the house as my willpower is rubbish.. I can ignore all other drinks..!

Its a great time to start, its monday and a new month... good luck, we are all here to support you on this journey. Although don't copy me, as I'm a bit carp at times...

I put £4 away each day I'm AF and then pop it back in the bank during the week... once I've put my £4 away I seem to lose the temptation to want to buy wine... works for me... most the time...

I'm a not on a school night type of girl.. well trying to be.

Jo glad you have decided to join us AFers,life is so much easier and a lot more fun without the stuff.

Morning all. Shaggy, am declaring on 18 for October. Please put me down for 20 for Nov. Fab scoring, thanks!! Had rather a mulligan on Saturday night, ended up drunkenly walking miles and miles home (got in at 5am :eek:) and so yesterday was a write-off. Serves me right for being a bit complacent I suppose.

Wow! I'm quite pleased!

Master of understatement!

Welcome ragdoll. I know what you mean about keeping your ID hidden. I often think if I post on other boards whether people think my opinion isn't as valid because they know I'm a drinker (reformed:o). There's lots of good advice and support on here. Just get a day under your belt, you'll feel great (and very smug) and then build on it.

Having pontificated, I'm ashamed to say that today might be my only AF day this week. I'm off for a short holiday. I'm sure I'll enjoy it but part of me is longing for a bit of normality, life has been hectic just recently.

Thank you everyone for the welcomes.

Maman, I'm glad I havent offended anyone over the ID thing. ITs just I feel very silly about having to admit I have an issue with drink. I'm very organised in other areas of my life, juggling home ,work and children. I suppose I see a bottle of wine as some sort of reward. But it isn't really, is it?

Feeling very good about my decision.

Good Morning Ladies and Gents.

Just popping in to say hello.

Hope you all had a Happy Halloween, and a relaxing weekend.

Two weeks and three days sober here. Feels great!

Starting training for my new job next Monday, which I'm looking forward to.

Feeling a bit flat, and worried about money today, but at least the job will bring some dosh in, and will keep me busy.

Ragdoll78 -

Congrats for being brave and admitting you have an issue with drink. That's not silly at all. It's brave.

Keep at it 'one day at a time'. Life will only get better Big Hugs.

Have a great day all.

Sim xx

Morning all! Ah no it's afternoon already...:eek: I'm back from my week away and determined to do better than October. 6 out of 20 was a rubbish result

So please put me down for 20 this month Shaggy

Let's see how that goes.

Hope everyone's ok and raring to go for a new month.

Welcome to ragdoll. You've taken a really important step in admitting you're not happy with your drinking. I know what you mean about the ID. I set up a new one to post on this board too, but after a while I couldn't be bothered to keep logging in and out so just use this one all the time. If people on other boards have a problem with it then that's their issue not mine

Happy Monday!
