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

Afternoon all

3 please Shaggy

Thanks everyone for your thoughts. Funeral went well (as well as they can!) but it was a very long day. My Mum was quite upset but cheered by the arrival of our relatives from Scotland. It was lovely to see everyone, despite the circumstances. And I was very proud of myself. Alcohol was available in abundance at the Wake, but I stuck to soft drinks. Think my Mum was amazed, to be honest!:rotfl:

And now I'm glad thats all over. I know my Mum will be low for a while (she is very close to her brothers) but I think everyone feels a bit better once a funeral is over with. And now I can get on with enjoying the business of Easter weekend with Piglet!

AF here this evening.
The bells are ringing very loudly, so trying to keep busy and focus on the financial side of it rather than just the health side. The wine i drink is £7 a bottle, so just 2 bottles a week is £14. NOT CHEAP!!

Hope everyone is having a good easter weekend?

Maman - have a lovely time in Torquay! Some of my younger days were spent there - I dated a drummer in a rock band....hard to believe now!!:rotfl:

Hi all, 6AF now for April please Shaggy[/COLOR

Was tempted to buy wine last night, just the thought of one glass whilst watching the tv was calling me - I resisted thankfully - had another diet Dr Pepper lol
Then I thought I might buy some for tonight, wine and X Factor etc etc....
The thought of how well I have done is stopping me, and am just going a day at a time now
Said to Sis I would try for 3 months, she literally:rotfl:!!!

Am halfway there at least now

Am off to the pub tomorrow aft for a local band day we have every bank holiday - will drive to avoid temptation I think, even thou quicker to walk.

Right, I said I would decorate my DS bedroom this weekend, so far, have brought the paint and looked at it
Best get busy
Hope you are all enjoying the long weekend x

Glad the funeral was okay Miss P.
Well done Tracy for resisting the bells.
Enjoy the holiday Maman!

7 AFD please Shaggy.x This is my 54 consecutive AFD :j. I am struggling with bells so often now though. When I get to 9pm I am okay. It is clearly something that still calls to me.
