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

rachelww1

Didn't drink on Saturday bringing me to 13. But yesterday was a different story. I reverted back to being a horrible p****d up person. We went to a christening and then the party afterwards at our local social club. Well the weather was lovely and the drinks were flowing, not free mind, and I reckon we spent over £40. My DH left after a few hours, cos he's sensible, but I stayed behind and carried on. Anyway, at whatever time I got home, I had a row with DS13 as he'd washed the car and I still hadn't put any money on his itunes account. He doesn't live with us and only comes at weekends, and he told me he doesn't want to see me any more and that I was a bad mother. Then I fell asleep on the sofa, and only woke up when I wet it. I didn't want to post this as I'm terrribly embarrassed, but I won't sort it if I don't. I'll ring my son tonight and try to make amends, he left this morning without saying goodbye, while i was still in bed. My DH knows about the sofa, cos when I came down this morning the cushions were against the radiator. He often does this, and rarely says anything. Sitting here at work unable to concentrate and with the hangover from hell. I'd been doing so well this month, and even the times I had been drinking, I'd kept it to one or two. I'll try not to drink for the rest of the month, and I'll think about April later.

Hello my lovelies,

Not had to time yet to read all posts but I will catch up, promise.

Just wanted to say to rachelww1 though, dont be hard on yourself hon. You are doing brill, so today we start again yeah. Kids are the hardest to please, believe me I know!

As for me, went out Friday night, kids were sleeping out. I had a lovely meal, and drank SPARKLING WATER!! I couldnt believe it, had to laugh as its soooo not me on a night out/night off from the kids.

Has alcohol free wine Saturday night, but yesterday took mum to see dad at the hospital then took her out for dinner. I had 2 lager shandy's. Does that count as drink?? If not, then I am now 8 AFD i think :-)

Oooo Targets for April. Hmmm. If I get 25 out of 30 for April Im happy. Got 5 Birthdays in April, and a weekend away. Plus the school holidays start, enough to make anyone drink, lol.

April I hope for 25, please Shaggy :-)

Sorry to hear about your bad night Rachael. I have a teenage son and I know I've acted disgracefully through drinking too much too. I remember going mental and f*** at him & slamming doors one night over something as simple as not washing the dishes before I came home , which I would NEVER have done stone cold sober.

Please put me down for 12/30 for April. Unfortunately haven't had a AF night since last Wednesday but I've been really sensible and only had 10 units all of last week which is a miracle!

Hello All!
Well nose back to the grindstone after a week off work with just one AFD (already added) amongst it! Every day was a low-alcohol day though so not feeling to miffed with myself. If I'm a good girl for the next 4 days I'll still manage my (revised thank you Shaggy!!! :T) target of 10 for March though! Now lets see if I can manage that :cool:

For April, could I please have a target of 15 AFD Shaggy? Hopefully that will be realistic and challenging!

Too Many xx

hello happy monday everyone. Had a quiet weekend now I am feeling better and had a couple of glasses of wine on Saturday. Was afd on Sunday so 14 AFD's for me now please. Well done Mollypolly on being sober for so long. It's so nice to hear inspiring stories. Everyone seems to have done really well this weekend. I hope that when I have a big night out planned I can be a bit more restrained instead of going overboard.

Rachelww1 meant to put on my previous post-really sorry you had a bad day yesterday and I know you must be feeling awful today especially as I find drinking makes me really depressed. Don't beat yourself up-todays a new day and a new start.

Hello everyone

Had lovely long weekend and even went out for an hour cycle ride yesterday, so felt great after that and really enjoying this lovely weather.

Not been bad on the alocohol front, just a couple of beers oh and couple of glasses of wine.

I would, if I may, like to join the AFD club, I will commit to 3 days this week and at least 16 for the month of April.

Hope everyone feeling good today.

Rossie
