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

*Mari*

And another returns to the fold...
December was a complete right off for me, as was most of 2012 with both alcohol and money :mad:
So here we are in 2013 and once again I want to make changes and not go around in circles just to end up back drinking every day again.

Shaggy thank you so much for running the monthly challenge, you are a star :A Can you please put me down for 29 days in January. We have one weekend away so am going to allow 2 days off for this.

Happy New Year everybody, here's hoping that 2013 is a lot better than 2012 on all fronts!

Hi all

I would like to join this thread please. Drinking just makes me feel so miserable and depressed that it's time I kicked it into touch. Can you please put me down for 31 days in January please and we'll see how I get on.

Hi everyone.

I have to say thanks for welcoming me to the thread and esp. thanks to graemecarter for your wise words.

So today is the first day of a bright and shiny new year which can only get better for all of us.

I had a few drinks last night and whilst I didn't go overboard I still need to cut it out. It's funny how things creep up on you as well, I spent most of my 20's never touching a drop but as circumstances changed alcohol has slowly established itself in my life.

Stay strong.

I've also signed up for Dryathlon so 31 days for me too Shaggy. January has not got off to a great start today, my friend texted me earlier to say that her mum had passed away this morning. So while I'm feeling a bit glum now, I will not let it become an excuse to drink tonight. Right, time to try & drag my lot away from the TV and go on a nice long doggie walk.

Hi everyone. Not been on for a while (since October). Had a crap Christmas and New Year but wanted to share that I only had one bottle of Budweiser last night and went to bed early so that today I have a clear head and no hangover. New start today.

Hello. Can I join please? I've been really heavily drinking now for sooo long and I gave up on 30/12/12. This is my 3rd day alcohol free. I actually feel a bit rubbish but I don't want to be a crap Mum and always be drunk. I've been drinking 2-3 bottles of wine a night for the last year so for me it's got to stop completely. I would like to put down 31 days please.
I'm going to sign up for dryathalon so wish me luck!

Should also mention I'm getting external support (so no likely to keel over!) but would really like peer support also and know how people are doing, either if they've given up or are cutting down x

Hi everyone and Happy New Year! Fresh start from today and have joined the Dryathlon. Can I join in the January Challenge please - I do have a weekend away planned so can you put me down for 29 please? Thanks. Am also taking part in the savings challenge so not drinking will really help my finances too. Good luck everyone xx
