The Giving up/ Cutting down Alcohol support thread- number 10

darwins_mum

Thanks for your kind words and thoughts, I think I needed a bit of a boost today. I also needed to remember to keep things in perspective and not become overwhelmed by "stuff"
The day was not all bad, I had a positive meeting with my direct line manager who is very pleased with the work that I have been doing. I have moved my tax rebate application along (4 years outstanding), I have moved my passport application along, (laborious), submitted my college application and just realised that I am owed some ppi money that I had forgotten about. I shall head over to the ppi forum shortly.
I do have much to be thankful for, it sometimes gets a bit forgotten with the cloak of self pity that I choose to wear at times.
Thank you all once again, and good luck with your challenges

Hello everyone, i haven't posted on here since last december as i lost motivation. Things have been ok ish bt i'm still drinking far more than i should, so decided to come back for help.

I'm planning on AF's as much as possible. Lately my body hurts, i'm worried i'll have a heart attack and my liver seems to hurt most of the time, but i'm too scared to go to the doctor as i function in life perfectly well. I'm hoping with a few days of Af under my belt the pains will subside and i'll feel better.

So to make a start 2 SNC please is my aim.

My mum has had issues with alcohol and was told by her doc to cut back and actually stop drinking for a month, she's been 6 weeks now and i feel guilty that i haven't done that with her. She said the first 3 weeks were hardest and now she doesnt want to go back. She doesn't know about me or my concerns as i dont want to worry her.

Please can someone help, i've been awake since 1.30am worrying about this. I've made a cuppa and a slice of toast and taken all the alcohol out of the fridge and put them in the back of the cupboard.

I really ought to go back to bed now.

Hey cuppa tea - you can join the remainder of the May Challenge if you like. There are 7 nights up for grabs

How about starting a spread sheet to note down how many units you are drinking? I find that helps me.

Take Care
