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

gien

Last night and Sunday were both AF so feeling good. Tonight I am going out for a meal so unlikely to be AF but I will limit myself as it's a school night.

Another 2 more days for me please, makes 5:j

To update I went to the GP today after jumping through a few hoops for their new screening system:mad:

Anyway, I didn't directly mention that my pains could be liver related, as i've got them in various places now. I have a hiatus hernia and also suffer with bulimia and on medication for acid reflux, so i'm wondering if its all linked with that.

Anyway, i am being referred for a chest x-ray and also back to the gastro consultant to check out the hernia as its been a couple of years.

My blood pressure is low and i have no lung infection which is good. A few things didn't add up to a specific diagnosis, so at the moment we are just ruling out the obvious. Tomorrow I go back for a blood test to check my kidneys, liver and a few other general things.

I feel relieved that I went, a bit ashamed I couldn't be as open as I wanted, but I am glad my liver will be tested as a matter of course. The pains i am getting are currently more of a burning sensation behind my breast, yet last week it was an ache behind my lower rib cage. I do sound a strange one eh?

AF again tonight, but I have been tempted at times. Tomorrow I will be but thurs my working hours are day time this week, so that will be a tricky one.

Will see!

Hope everyone is well and we are all in a good place this evening.

Popping in before bed - not AF but just a couple of glasses.

Good that they're checking you out cuppa - no matter what is the problem, not drinking at the moment will help to improve the situation. Good luck

Hi everyone, is it too late to join this month's challenge? I'd like to start my AF journey straight away rather than wait for next month. Over the past year or two I have tried various methods to cut down my drinking - only drink at weekends, only have one drink etc. None of them have worked, so I am going to have to accept I have to give up alcohol completely. That means I'd like a target of 9 DAYS for the rest of the month please.

:T:T:TOh that is such a tempting picture - just substitute me for you and it gets even better! However you are right it is a school night so I will have to hope that the weekend is nice so I can have a glass of chilled wine in the garden after the whole working week has finally come to an end. It will of course now pee it down with rain from 4pm Friday! :rotfl::rotfl:

In other news 12 for me please!
