Well done:T Unfortunately lots of people find it hard to sleep on AF nights (me included) but it often gets better after a few (a few AF nights that is:o).

Great idea about the body combat. Keeping busy is an ideal displacemen activity. So much drinking is through habit or boredom. Onwards and upwards!

Thanks- liking the support on here- it's great ..... :T:T feel quite proud of myself- also my skin looks so much better !!

Hi Shaggy

I would like to get a handle on my booze consumption, fed up of not seeing any results from the gym!

As it's my first month I'll go for 20 AFD'S

Thanks

Good to see successes already (and mackeroo did you know that Pen does 'specials' from one night up each week?).

Thanks for that maman, i didnt know that.
PEN ~ sorrry to be a pest but can you put me down for 2 AF days this week please.

Thinking of you Miss P, i can be a bit like that too when im drunk, say some horrible things to my DH, its one of the many reasons for me to cut down. Please dont be too hard on yourself today, be kind to yourself and take the time out to think about things.
(((Hugs))

God - it's hard this isn't it?? Just one night and I'm headachy, bored...... want to go to bed but can't get rid of this headache and worry I won't be able to sleep....

Anything to do for the best?? warm milk??

Paracetamol, something sweet to eat, something nice AF to drink - actually you might be dehydrated so lots and lots of water to drink, warm bath, good book...

I have bad cold at the moment so no problems being AF as I am on paracetamol to fend off the head aches as it is. So I am doing an early declaring for today: 4 please Shaggy and 2 please Pen

Morning all

I won't say "good" morning as I did it again last night. Got horrendously drunk and was absolutely hideous to my OH (bit of a replay of same thing I did a couple of years ago).

This morning my OH has asked me to stop drinking. And I agree with him. Got a lot to get my head around today.

Hugs Miss Piggy......maybe it is now time to think about giving up completely.
I asked my DH over Christmas if he thought I was less fun since I quit drinking( because sometimes I feel I arn't much fun anymore) and he said that I am a MUCH NICER person now.,:D
Like you, after a few drinks I used to turn really nasty and say awful things that I didnt mean.
Good luck and I hope you soon feel better about things....whatever you decide.:)
Love Mollypollyxxxx

Hi Miss Piggy and MollyPolly,

My husband swears that red wine turns me into a monster , I seem to enjoy myself on it but nobody around me enjoys being with me when I`m on it. He says I get argumentative and confrontational. I suppose there is that old saying:
"everybody likes a drink but nobody likes a drunk"

4 AF DAYS FOR ME SHAGGY (no alcohol in da house so I know I wont be drinking tonight)

maman

Glad to say I'm happy when I've had a drink but it makes me fall asleep very easily which can be very embarassing:o

Hugs miss p xx always around if you need a hug by text x

I found when away - that I'm not very good at not drinking if there is drink in the house - I've not been outrageous - but not always been very good.

Back at home and doing much better............got through anohter hideous xmas with no kids - realitively unscathed - better than many other years.

Happy 2011 for you all

xxxxx

Much love to old and new faces
