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

beckseven

6 afds for me please shaggy. On nights tonight so not drinking-I moan about my shifts but they do keep me on the straight and narrow with being af! DH was drinking wine but I wasnt tempted. I've just been trying to catch up on the thread as I've been away from the boards (and not being af!) Rachel I'm so sorry to hear that you and your famiily are having such a dreadful time at the moment.

Thanks for all your support guys, it really means a lot x. Had a chat with DS13 tonight and told him what's going on. As I thought, he'd guessed what was going on, but it was nice to have a one to one chat with him. Had a long talk with DS7's teacher yesterday and she thought I should tell him. Still not sure what to do there as we all went to see mum earlier and she seemed quite bright, but that was probably because of the steroids she's just been given. She even managed a few games of rumikub, and a stroll around the garden with me. Will have a think overnight about what do do. Still not AF here, and meant to be going to the docs on monday to tell him I've given up. Oh well, it's my coping mechanism at the moment, so I think I'll tell him to leave it if he can't give me sleeping tablets. Sorry to whittle on, but I feel at ease in here xx

Hiya all, not posted for some time, back on track with AFD's and not had a drink since Sunday, and shan't be having one until other half gets back from working away next Friday, my sleep pattern has been truly awful this week which makes me think that I must be more reliant on booze to knock me out than I realised, anyway sleep back to normal now thankfully. Can I ask how long is it until people start to notice an improvement in themselves.. weight loss, clear skin proper sleep etc? Hope everyone is well recognise some of the names from a couple of years ago glad to see you still doing well

Hi lamarsi of course I remember you so Good news about all the AFDs you clocked up last week!

I'm afraid when I clock up a really good month of AFDs it seems to make little difference to my weight. However, if I'm on a diet I can't drink as that couple of extra 100s of calories in the evening wrecks all my hard work during the day iyswim.
