This is so interesting to me. I am considering stopping completely. Freeing up the mental energy would be fantastic. The internal debate acts like physic vampirism, draining resources. I too am tormented with feeling I am missing out, why can't a just enjoy an occasional drink like other people? I don't even drink too much! I think I just need to make peace with the fact it doesn't suit me, I am not other people and just step past it.


*Mari* Good luck. Be stubborn and prove them wrong!:rotfl:

Another thing I`ve realised since giving up is that I`m not a party type person at all (I`ve got friends who are and probably always will be) I`ve always coped with partys by getting absolutely hammered but as you say I`ve come to realise that that kind of lifestyle just doesnt suit me and I`m happier to be at home leading a peaceful life rather than out partying and to be honest drinking at home just gets in the way as I`ve got so much I want to do.

End of the week for me, I had decided to drink tonight, so I've had 2 pints of cider, work was tough today.

Thanks for the good wishes guys :T
Well...I did it! And because I wasn't drinking all the other girlies decided to stick to AF drinks aswell, that has never happened before! Am sooo proud of myself. I won't succumb now as am enjoying a lovley long cool glass of tonic and blackcurrent and it feels fantastic
We have a busy day tomorrow, hence the early start and finish to the BBQ. So off to have a soak in the bath, then an early night.

Shaggy and bearacus can I please declare 3 for your respective challenges, and bearacus can you please sign me up for the school night challenge next week aswell, thank you.

16 for me please, Shaggy.

Also went for a 6 mile run tonight - that's a proper "green" day. Where a "red" would be alc and no running, and "amber" would be both

Good morning all-I'm on nights tonight so 9 afds for me please. I must admit i was a bit narked today as I was in Asda seeing everyone buy their booze for the weekend and thought that I really would have liked to have drunk tonight. However, I went to sleep this evening and when i got up dh had polished off a bottle of red to himself and a couple of beers and was slurring etc so glad Im not in that state! I run a mums and tots group and it is our annual easter egg hunt tomorrow so I've got to get up for that at 9.50 so will be a bit dead on my feet tomorrow-hopefully the gorgeus weather will get me through. Going to do my tracey anderson method dvd at about 1.30am so hopefully will feel virtuous! Darwins-mum-well done on giving that wine away and lala that was supreme willpower with the cider. Mrs R hope you got yourself some lovely bits from Primark-I love it there as you can buy an entire new wardrobe for a few quid! Good Friday everyone!

As I had decided to drink last night, I thought I'd have quite a bit to chill out as the day was a hard one yesterday.

I had 2 pints of cider. While I had a drink, the fact remained I didn't carry on. I stopped at 2 pints. Thats a massive change in my attitude towards booze, not that I'd drink until I could drink no more, but to only have 2 pints is a major change for me.

I woke up at 6.45 this morning, no hangover, this has been the best month for me in years so far, 14 AF days and the days I have consumed booze, 3 of those yes I got drunk, the other 4 have been a couple or one drink. And I've lost half a stone this month already.
