You never fail to amaze me as it's been so long since I posted here! Yes still a major lurker and also at the "Diner". (hope that doesn't make me a stalker! :eek:)
My drinking has improved especially with the help of lemon & ginger squash (and this thread of course!) but I still like to catch up with the goss and see how everyone is doing.
Wish you every sucess with the diet - I'm trying to cut down too but dark nights and cold days make me want comfort food - best pop over to the Diner and check what's cooking.

Take care all xx

Why do you feel like you shouldn't be here?? This is a giving up / cutting down thread. Supports given, whatever option you go for. Hope you are ok - don't think anythings been said to make you feel unwelcome?

Miss P's absolutely right daisy this thread is for all. But I do know where you're coming from. There are a few on here who feel giving up completely is the only way forward for them which is fine by me. I'm a 'habit to be broken' person like you and I have felt bad about being told words to the effect that I must admit I'm an alcoholic. I found the ignore button works well in those circumstances.

Me to- r.e the weigh in tomorrow night Mackeroo....x
Have ruined the 'should have been' 9AF by having wine when I got home tonight.. no excuse really, just a trying day.
Also- feel like I shouldn't really be here.... is this an alcoholic thread or 'trying to cut down' thread??

The thread is for anyone who would like to try and give up or try and cut down.

We are here to try and support however you want to play it

Hi Daisychain, you have done so well so far, better than you thought you would do, please please dont beat yourself up about tonight, focus of what you have achieved so far this year, tomorrow is a new day, new start, nothing and no one can take away your achievements this year so far. I think this is the right thread for me, im a 'trying to cut down' person, taking it a day at a time, you may feel its not for you at the moment, and thats also ok. Sending you hugs for tonight (( )) and huge luck for 2moro's weigh in.

Hi Budgster

studying is overwhelmingly busy busy busy at the moment. After a long day at uni I'm having the night off - the last one for a while - roll on the last week in Jan when I can have a few nights off before starting again! Work back on later this week :eek:

AFD going well and on 11 now

Daisy - hugs - and sorry if that sounded a bit pompous. I'm here as I like running the challenges cos its keeps me in check during the week. I'm no angel and sometimes I'm rubbish at my own challenge but it does encourage me to try again next week. I do drink at weekends and social events and thats how I like things.

We are here to try and keep smiling - no labels - no judging, honest

Evening all

Took forever to get young Piglet to bed tonight. He was very excited because nanny and grandad came over so grandad could put his solar system up on his ceiling ( the planets move around the sun which lights up:)).

So the marathon cycle is postponed till tomorrow night.(yay!!)

Thanks all, thanks, thanks, thanks........ well- my car (and me) were in an accident this morning- not my fault- her car skidded on the ice into mine.... thankfully I (and her-the other driver) have full insurance and my suspension wil be fully fixed soon... have a hire car coming tomorrow.

The comment earlier today made me feel like a traitor... I wrote out a long reply about how bad it had got for me- how much I was drinking- all the bad stuff- the stuff that you never tell anyone.. then I deleted it before I sent it.. I don't feel the need (or want) to explain/brag about my alcohol intake.. really don't want to own up to it all.
Anyway- just a blip tonight- be well back on it tomorrow night !! After fat club.. MUST have lost at least 4 pounds.. Please !!??

Night all.
