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

maman

What about this, seems like it's needed! It's good to know that we can all be 'normal' though. This cutting-down is definitely a marathon, not a sprint.

I did end up AF last night but I was feeling very sorry for myself. I was very bad-tempered and I knew I was giving DH a hard time. Feeling much brighter today, hope everyone else is.:)

hey everyone,

not been around much as i totally have not been AF at all . In fact I have only racked up 1 more AF meaning I have 3 so far for March (need a hang head in shame smiley). But Im determined I will meet my target for March ... Or come damn closer than 3 :rotfl:

So can someone please give me a kick up the bum, a good telling off and drag me up onto the wagon x If I can stay AF on st paddys night it will be a big achievement for me x

Will go back and read to catch up ! hope everyone is well x

Remembering that alcoholism is an
incurable, progressive, fatal disease.

But this morning there isn't the usual recriminations running around in my head. Instead I sat there in bd weighing up what I want.....do I want wine? Or do I want to be slim? And I want to be slim!!!!! So for the sake of losing weight I am going to try and be completely AF for a while. Otherwise I'll be dieting forever!!:eek:So, onwards and downwards.....

Hey Miss P i feel exactly the same, and it was 1 of the key reasons why i needed to majorly cut down on the booze, all the calories from the wine combined with the munchies aint a good combination!! You can do it!

Morning all, keep going everybody and instead of looking forward to the weekend to drink, look forward to the weekend to rest. Get back into reading, walking and just chilling out and really importantly no hangovers.

Thanks Maman, I did used to post on here a lot, but then got a load of nasty Pms telling me to booger off as I had no right at all to post because I don't drink - didn't want to upset the good vibe of the thread, so stayed away.
Still read tho'

Well done on the 1.5lb!

Dundeedoll, thats horrible!!:eek: Please ignore anyone like that. I'm sure it can't have been a regular as we're all so nice:D. As Maman says, you are welcome here anytime.
