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

Been thinking a bit about what I want to do alcohol wise in February, but I'm still unsure. I'm not really missing the booze, and like other people have said, I know that some of my 'friends' are uncomfortable with me not drinking. DH is definately up for a few jars on 1st Feb and then he will slip back into daily (or near enough) drinking. I know I don't want to go back to that, but don't necessarily want to give up altogether. Not actually sure If I ever liked the taste of lager now anyway. I always had to have at least 2 pints as the 1st one usually tasted horrible. I've had other friends who've said that I've come this far, that I may as well stop altogether. I'll have a think.........I did stop for 3 years in my 20's and never had a problem with it then

I am unsure too, also been thinking of quitting all together. Even when I think of upcoming celebrations I think "Why do I have to have alcohol, it's only because it's associated with celebrating?". I wouldn't mind having a 'mocktail' or something like that.

I will see once we hit February. I know OH is going to have a drink but he doesn't want to get back into bad habits again.

Another AFD so 20 for me Shaggy please and 25 in total. I am off to bed as shattered

12 please, Shaggy, thanks

I seem to have lost the stop button again. However, it is still early 2013, and I am determined to get back on track again.

Have a good week everybody xx

Count me in, too, Mackeroo, thanks. Nowadays, I'm only rarely tempted to drink during the week, but completing this challenge will motivate me to perhaps have nothing next weekend either.

Hi Everyone
No more AF to report We are off on hols this week and have booked to go away for a short break tomorrow for a couple of nights but its looking unlikely at the mo due to the snow, and DH feeling poorly. Will wait to see what tmro brings. Will struggle even more this week being AF due to being on hols so will just go for 2 nights on SNC. Good luck everyone, stay safe and warm

Hi everyone, I am still alive and well. Too ashamed to post for a while.
Been on anti-depressants 33 days by tonight's dose.
Updating my progress, if you can call it that!
17 days AF not all in row, however.
Sun, Mon, Tues, Wed AF for last weeks SNC
So to recap, drank bottle of Bud NYE which was last day of December, and this month drank on 3rd Jan ? what, drank 600mls 11% white gone-off wine on 17th Jan and either 800mls-1 litre of 11% gone-off white wine on 18th Jan. This is my way of coping with it, not bragging or promising anything.
Please can I join the SNC this week and I'm going for the Full Monty.
Thanks, mackeroo and shaggy-doo.
Thanks everyone, I mean it.
Dadof2 enjoyed your post and all the other new ones.
Not got any cravings at the moment and not had a drink for 2 days hopefully 3 by end of today.
