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

ChocolateCupcake

2AF days to add for me so far this week please.

Not doing as well as I had planned, but the evenings I've had a drink have been much more controlled (just 2 glasses of wine).

Hope everyone is recovering from being poorly!

I remember you noynoy!
Welcome back.

Thanks for the kind words Mari. I'mhopong I'll be fine now - I just have to keep watching my diet and exercise and I should be OK.

Another AF night here - my husbands away for worh so it's just me and my kids. Think I'll have an early night.

Have been reading about all your goodness, yet I am stuck on 8 AF for June

Why is it that when in a new relationship alcohol is heavily involved - wine with dinner, quick beer for lunch etc etc

I haven't gone back to what I was drinking, but sure I would be nearly at target if I was single?!?!?

Oh well, it's not as if I am out getting drunk, 2 beers last night, 2 the night before. Need to make an effort, as really, do I really need to drink?

And the sickness thing, I have had waves of it for 5 days, and today so far has been ok......
Hope all ok

Hi Everyone
Just a flying post to report 8 AF please Shaggy.
Really struggled this eve but managed to remain AF, i had that bottle of wine in and out the fridge more times than i can count! However its safely back in the fridge with the lid still sealed. Yay. A wee small victory in the fight to be a 'cutter downer'.

hi everyone!

sorry I've been MIA, life has been hectic recently.

i got a job that involved getting up at 5.30am every morning and not getting home again til 7.30pm, then a week later found a better one closer to home so I've had two first weeks at a new job one after the other.
then in the middle of all this, MIL decided to try suicide twice so I've been helping her and being there for DH.

surprisingly, i haven't been drinking. i had one work night out but I've been either too exhausted or needing to be sober to deal with any more carp that i knew would come my way the second i was too drunk to deal with it. i do really want one though. although i just want one JD and coke, mostly because it will mean sitting down somewhere quiet with no stress and distractions while i drink it!
