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

rachelww1

Declaring tonight as AF, so 11 for April please Shaggy. Just back from the weekly shop (what an exciting life I lead on a friday night ). Bought a couple of books in the 2 for £8 offer by 2 of my favourite chic lit authors, so off to bed in a bit to start one of them, while the boys watch some rubbish on telly.

Count me in for next weeks challenge please Bearacus. I've got the week off work, but I want to be out and about with the boys, not sitting around hungover.

Wow, you leave the forums for a few months, and when you come back you only recognise about 10% of the usernames. How is everyone this fine Friday night?

Hi Folks
Just a quick post before i start throwing up the Zzzzzz's 11 AF please Shaggy incl tonite....managed fine this eve DH had a glass of red earlier on this eve and i wasnt in the least bit tempted, he rarely has a drink so it was quite surreal looking at him having a drink and me having a cup of tea! Nice picture.
hope you all have a nice weekend

I wondered if I could start my reintroduction to the forum by sharing a bizarre and slightly disturbing (yet totally 'unrelated to alcohol') dream I had. Purely as a bit of friday night banter?

Hi Greypilgrim :wave:i dont recognise your name but only became a regular on this board at the start of Jan, in the last few months there have been lots of new people joining which is great and sometimes some of the 'oldies' swing in by to say hi

Hi Mack, yeah I was a regular for a bit, then lurked for a bit, then went away, then came back (and so on)...think I need to come back for a bit of motivation...

time to spill the story grey ... i remember you well ...

i know it goes against the grain of everything this thread stands for .... but i just had my first drink in three years .... a lovely glass of white wine ... only had it cause it was free ( my origonal reason for giving up was money ) and wont be having another for a long long time unless it is free . .. but boy it was lovely ....

not wanting to make anyone crave

Hi GP :wave:. What's the story then? I dreamt the other day that I killed my cat with a hammer. Beat that for disturbing :eek:. How goes the lardloss and cycling?

Am on 12 thanks Shaggy.

ETA: just won another £50 on the visa comp. If you use a visa debit/credit card inc. for online purchases it's really worth entering.

Another AF please Shaggy!

Up with DH again and being headache free makes a big difference! A whole day stretches ahead with no restrictions!!

Ok, here it is:

I won't drink today because.......I need to get up early for matchday tomorrow, it's going to be a long day, I want to be full of beans for it and enjoy it in full COLOUR :T

Well done to everyone in all your challenges and achievements! :A

Hugs fresh from the oven and still toasty warm for you to grab as you pass!

Morning all, last night was the first friday night in as far back as I can remember where I didnt consume a bottle of wine, today is the first saturday in years where I have not woken with a sandpaper mouth and thumping head!
I have done my first week alcohol free!
Today I give thanks for all of the support that I have received on my journey so far.
Have a great day y'all, let the sun continue to shine on you.
