ShaggyxWhat do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.0 -

Monday morning when I had my bad hangover, I tried writing something on a list I was doing, and my hand felt really jumpy. That scared me.
Ragdoll I don't want to appear unsupportive but this is a money saving forum and maybe you need to talk to a doctor?What do we do when we fall?

Change The Day You Die on Sky 3 motivated me to stop drinking and to get fitter.
Don't remember that program but what a great name :rotfl:What do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.0 -
Sorry for my AWOL'ness, been a bit full on at work and home here for the past few days.
Found out on Tuesday this week that OH is having an affair, I'd suspected it for a month or so, suspicions (sp?) were mounting and I read something on Tuesday morning which made it fact. This is the best thing that could've ever happened to me on the drinking front. I am determined to get out of this relationship sober and am 100% ready to confront him when the time is right which could be anytime day or night and I will need to be completely sober.
For the record, please don't do hugs or sorry posts, I have dreamt of this moment for a lot of years and I can't wait to be single again, so pop the champagne corks!!!........:undecided oops.....I mean the Shloer corks:beer:

Good morning everyone
Shaggy, thank you for your comment. I was trying to convey that in my post that I had the shakes (I do believe other posters have mentioned having these). I've never had them before and they scared me. Which is why I decided I needed to stop. I appreciate this is a money saving forum but I felt this thread was more about support than moneysaving.
I don't feel I need to see a doctor. And thats not me in denial. I haven't had a drink since Sunday night and I'm quite happy about that fact. If (or when) I feel I'm not able to control this then I would of course see a doctor. Yes, my drinking had escalated. At least I recognise this fact and, for me, thats a start.
Sim, thankyou for your kind words. It seems you are on quite a journey of your own. I hope you managed to sort the references for your job.
