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

MarkMan

Morning everyone!

Well done on the job training Sim :T - keep up the resolve and I'm sure the finances will improve.:)

Shaggy - 1 AF for me please - November target done! Now to work out what I think I can manage in Dec. I'll post my target when I've done some sums...

Pen - 1 for the Sunday challenge please. I hope you managed to make it a draw:p

And best news for me, I managed 3 miles at the gym without any of the pains I got last time I went (4 weeks ago), so now with some AFness and back to running, I should start losing weight again - just in time to put it back on over Xmas:(

Still, a great start to the week for me, and I couldn't have done it without all your support - THANK YOU!!!:A:A

I'm not going to get complacent though - I'm in this for the long run.

Have a great week everyone.

Anyone care to join me (pre Christmas Detox?) Come on it's only 4 nights.

MarkMan

Well done Pen, I feel so much better for it too - thanks for the challenge. Jumping smilies look so good.:j

Shaggy - sums have been done, and my target for December is....... 8. Thanks for scoring again.

Ok, its not massive, but as per other advice here, it's realistic and should mean I don't just give up when its its obvious I wont make it.

Fingers crossed.

Morning everyone

How are we all??

I'm a poorly bunny today....cold seems to be getting worse, not better, and now my sinuses are agony Staying home from work today and in a minute I'm going to go and crawl under the duvet.

OH's 40th went really well. He had some lovely pressies and we had a nice time with everyone here. (I was polite to my MIL and bit my tongue when I realised in the photo book she did for OH of his life, she had put several photos of him and his ex-wifes wedding!!!!:eek:). They have now been removed...and I've text her to let her know I've done it too. Maybe bit touchy of me, I don't know.:(

Anyhow.....still on 12 Shaggy. Will miss target by 1 probably but not too worried. Will try harder in December!:D Target for December is 20 please Shaggy (thank-u ever so much for doing scoring)

Could I join the challenge please Pen?

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Sorry, perhaps I shouldn't be laughing but the cheek of that woman is amazing!! Sorry to hear you're feeling poorly. I'm almost recovered now but my head's a bit thick still (not much change there then:D).

Well done Mark on your achievements (AF and gym that is). You sound in a much better place than when you joined. Perhaps that health scare was enough to give you an incentive.

MarkMan

Thanks Maman - the health scare certainly was a wake-up call, and finding this thread was a god-send. Now I've just got to keep it up and get more AF days each month.

Glad your cold is clearing up - just in time to join the crowds Xmas shopping:)

Hello all! How's everyone's Monday going?

Markman and Cuppatea well done both of you on a great start into more AFness. Keep on posting even if you're not doing well, it really helps (yes I realise this is a case of 'do as I say, not as I do' but you know it makes sense :rotfl:)

Sorry to hear about the cold MissP - a duvet day sounds like just what you need. Hope you feel better soon

Well I am extremely pleased to report 20AF please Shaggy Target achieved yay!!! Although I was slightly worried by my initial reaction of 'great that means I can have a drink tonight!' - not a healthy way of thinking. Hopefully I can squash that thought before it takes hold.

Hiya ladies and gents,

Hope you're all enjoying a lovely snowy day!

It's only -1 here, so I'm looking forward to a bracing walk to the shop in a bit.

3 weeks sober today.

Feeling calm and positive for the first time in a long time

Third week of job training at 4pm. Looking forward to it.

Cheers - Sim x

Fantastic Sim:D:D:D

Hope the training went well.
