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

Well I've been rubbish and caved. Had 2 very long days with college/work and everything that could possibly have gone wrong at work tonight, did. Got a bottle of wine on the way home and treated myself to 1 glass. I guess the positive in this is that I have thought of it as a treat rather than a justification, if that makes sense? Stopped after 1 too. Also I feel happier about having the odd drink as I feel stronger in being able to stop.after 1 and feel its in moderation now, not a habit.
New day tomorrow and all that jazz0 -
Morning :hello:

ShaggyxWhat 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.0 -

Evening all
Bells rang really loadly at morrisons tonight I stood looking at the wine tonight havnt done that in a long time. Hubby said but you didnt buy any so thats good I said it wasnt good cause I really wanted to really really did, got sad and everthing :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
ohhhh well done legs! it's soooo hard sometimes that you end up slinking off in a really bad mood haha.
I just keep reminding myself that a drink won't make me feel less grumpy - it was alcohol that caused the grumpiness. I guess non drinkers don't look at wine and feel grumpy lol so it can only be wine's fault in the first place:rotfl:

Well I for one think that's brilliant. If that had been me, i would have drunk the whole bottle and then probably raided the cooking wine too!0 -
