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

May2013

Sorry to hear about your Mum Bearacus, such a horrible time for you and your family right now, take care x

14 AFD's for me and 4 for the SNC. Got a really busy weekend ahead and not sure if I'll manage to stay AF but will try for at least one day between now and Tuesday.

Hello All,

RL's been a tad busy since I last posted, but I have been keeping up with my AF plan....

Could I therefore please add 5 AF days to my total (AF 19th, 21st, 23rd, 35th, 26th).

It's funny, but over the last couple of weeks I've actually felt in control of my alcohol consumption - I've not had that overwhelming urge for a glass of wine (or 3) in the evening, and when I do drink I've been sticking to just one glass (albeit not a small one ). Have I finally cracked it I wonder? Somehow I suspect it's now that I need to be extra vigilant

Bearacus I'm so sorry to hear about your mum, biggest hugs to you and her :grouphug:

TooMany xx

18 afds for me please shaggy and 4 for the snc please bearacus. I'm really sorry to hear about your mum bearacus. Big hugs to you and your mum. Bells rang last night as well but firmly ignored them, did an exercise dvd mopped the kitchen floor and had a fruit tea-i'm exhausted now mind! Won't be af tonight but will not binge.

Thankyou all so much for your kind words and support ! It really does mean a lot x I think actually writing it down last night made it more real and helped it sink in.

I did drink a lot last night but this morning I realised that it s not the answer and it doesnt help. Rachelww1 - I think your older post made me realise this x (your extremly brave )

Mackeroo - thankyou for your offer x I think that would be lovely if you could maybe do next week for me and then see how we go

Right ! No more using excuses to drink !No more moping around ! I am determined t be AF all weekend !!

Sending you hugs Bearacus :grouphug:and prayers for your mum.

I did drink a lot last night but this morning I realised that it s not the answer and it doesnt help. I think you're right (although having a couple of glasses just to take the edge of feels like the easiest thing to do). MrR struggles with his emotions about his dad more when he has had a bottle. I hate watching him getting angry and upset cos he knows it's only a matter of time, but I know that it's him having a drink to ease the pain which intensifies those feelings.
There's never a right or wrong way to deal with things like this, but you have plenty of love and support on here.

22 AFDs for me, please, Shaggy, and I'm going to get a red smiley!

Bearacus, I hope everything goes well for your Mum over the next few weeks.

Rachel, I hope your Mum is doing OK at the moment.

Have a good Friday, everybody

Hugs to you bearacus, i hope your mum does recover and quickly, hopefully age is on her side. Hugs!

I had another AFD, so 2 for me and 2 for the SNC. I'm going to continue through tonight and the weekend, determind to make my 7/7, as i've never been that alcohol free for the last 3 years. Goodness that sounds so awful.
