The Giving Up/ Cutting Down alcohol support thread - number 11

Miss_Piggy_2

Good morning all

Tracy_36 - :T:TYou are doing brilliantly. I wouldn't worry what anybody else thinks. You are doing this for YOU.

Maman - I'm certain you'll be back on that wagon today. And the very fact you were on here at midnight, typing lucidly (if you know what I mean), shows that you didn't overdo it.

Rachelww - hope everything is ok and that your Mum is alright

Shaggy - 18 for me please!!

Think part of whats putting me off of drinking this week is that I'm so damned tired!:( I think its a remnant of all the bugs we've had recently. From about 7pm onwards I just want to go to bed! So am starting a vitamin regime today in the hope it will give me a boost.

Thanks for kind words, I'll definitely be AF tonight.

Hope your vits work for you MissP. I think this general lethargy is to do with the time of year. We're all craving light and sunshine. I thinks that's Vitamin D shortage??

Thanks Miss Piggy
Am starting to sleep a bit better now as well, and thats only after 4 days..
On the tiredness side, a few people at work have just slept for a day, and they are all cured

Hello, again AF here and expect to be tonight too as off to gym. Need to crack the sleep thing a bit more but slept better last night, although not for as long as I need.

Want to try and crack the AF weekend issue.

Hi Bearacus,
Well done on your brilliant progress, that really is fantastic!!

Im doing okay, not as well as Tracey_36 but I am happy with my progress. I've halved what I usually drink and am down to 2 glasses a day. Which will be lowered as soon as I think I am capable without missing it too much. Been quite a revelation that it is mostly just habit but still want to go for at least a six month break.

Hope you are all having a good day J x

Chilli red - The only reason I am doing well is I had a shock that has made me triple determined to give up IYKWIM
2 glasses a day is good :j(unless they are half bottle sizes like mine lol)

I am nearly half way thru the book, and so far, I would say it is well worth the £9
It also recommends you are still drinking whilst your read it(not at the same time)
I fear I am going to turn into a preacher :eek:

You can only give yourself a break when you are ready

Oh, and are you finding it strange that the top smilie is 'have a beer'!

9 afds for me please shaggy. Not doing too well on paper but on Saturday I just had one small glass of wine and turned down any more which is a first on a weekend night. Hope you are all well. I'm feeling soooo tired too-one night last week I was in bed at 8pm and feel ready to turn in now tonight!
