Good morning all

Hope everyone had a good weekend?

Off work this week as Piglet on Easter hols. OH off today and Friday which is nice.

Doesn't seem as hot here today, which is just as well as I'm a bit beetrootish. We were in the garden all afternoon yesterday. I always turn Piglet white with suncream but generally forget to do myself:o. He was busy playing with his little tent and things whilst I sat, read a book and soaked up the sunshine. Unfortunately, I also soaked up about 3/4 a bottle of wine so felt incredibly tired for the rest of the evening.:(

So going to be AF today.

Thanks for your support folks.

5 Afs please Shaggy.


I'm going to go for abstinence so I can up my target to the last remaining 20days of the month. I'll then aim for the 30/31 days of every month.

My family clubbed together yesterday and bought me my Birthday present early as a cheer up. Its a Kindle. I've been umming and arring for a while but am really thrilled with it. I'd been weighing up the cost of downloading books on it but you can get some real bargains (freebies and £1 offers). The first book I downloaded yesterday is Allen Carrs "No more hangovers" and I've already finished it. Very encouraging. Will read it over a few times I think but its inspired me. One of the things it made me think about is "why I even find it acceptable to drink it all". When I first started the book I was thinking "I can enjoy a couple now and then" (Wembley at the weekend, bank holidays coming up and an All inclusive holiday booked) but why should I? Whats the pull? It doesn't do anything for me. I'll be asking OH what the match result was on Monday morning if I have that drink on Sunday.

As for friends and their culture of drinking....they will have to accept me. If they love me then they will do this. OH is right behind me and won't struggle to join me if I asked him to but why should he when he only drinks occasionally anyway. I remember a friend saying a while ago that non-drinker are boring. But thats not the case at all.

I have to do this for my health and my family. My job relies on a driving license. I daren't tell you what I do for a living because the irony of it is shocking..... :eek:

I can do this. Thank you everyone.

Hey,

How you all doing? Is there many aa abstainers on here?

I am now 14 months without a drink and my life has really improved, I drank between one glass to two bottles of wine a night for years and things got worse and worse and I decided to give up!!

I struggled to get through one day without a drink and now I cant imagine being a drinker! I sleep well, look years younger, have lost 3 stone with minimum effort, I have no regret, remorse, I dont drive under the influence, I dont let people down and most importantly I dont let myself down!! All of this in return for one drink one day at a time!!!


Its worth it, hope you do whats right for you all
