  • Thanks for the advice guys, I'm rather excited about drinking less and being healthy. Had 6 pints last night but it was a family birthday and considerably less than i'd drink with my friends. Don't have anything planned now til next Saturday so gonna try not to drink anything til then! I have a couple of free cinema tickets so when we get that midweek itching for something to do we can go to the cinema!:)

    Can I join please ? I drink little and often and after waking this morning after having a poor night's sleep and with a thick head and feeling rubbish all day/eating rubbish all day, I've decided I finally need to actually stick with giving up/cutting back on the alcohol I consume.

    Im doing the race for life in mid July so thats one reason I want to cut back/cut it out and I'm a slimming world target member who is way out of target. Alcohol wastes syns not only in the alcohol I drink but in the rubbish I eat as a result both at the time of drinking and the next day!!

    There are 18 days left of June so 18 AF DAYS FOR ME PLEASE :j

    As a start though, I'll do the four day thing if thats ok ?

    Welcome Flat Eric and good luck! This thread is brilliant for support in cutting down or giving up. I used this thread to cut down to weekends and special occasions before joining SW and it's been marvellous. I try very hard not to drink during the week and the 4-day SNC (School Night Challenge) is brilliant for breaking the AF target down into manageable steps.

    What do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.
