Morning :hello:

I was AF last night! What a difference a diet makes My OH even joined me (he's not a big drinker - usually quiet happy with one pint). We just watched a movie (Unknown - Liam Neeson - a good saturday night film). Happy Days

True crazymum, i really feel like i have achieved what i set out to; not letting alcohol affect my life and ruin my weekends

Mrs_Vimes

I had AF last night. It is true the difference it makes. I actually got up at 6. So far I have put on 3 washes and the dish washer. I am no way going to hit my target but will persevere. 7/20 in total so far this month. Oops.

Morning all!
Its 7am on a Sunday morning and i am up and awake!! The difference not drinking heavily makes is amazing!

I was pretty irritated to wake up with something that felt like a hangover this morning :-/ Must have been the alcohol-free beer and Szechuan food. Still, this'll probably go away much quicker than a real hangover!

I wasn't AF last night and am really regreting it this morning:mad:. I'd been 15 days AF in a row and was feeling great - cheerful, energetic and the bells were getting fainter ad fainter. It's been a h*ll of a week though and my d-i-l is in a very bad way and taking it out on everyone close to her. She's a herion addict and heavy drinker and after she'd been very nasty again yesterday afternoon I came home and opened the wine. It helped at the time - a lot - but I feel sick and dizzy this morning and very sad that I did it:(.

I always thought I was aiming to cut down but I'm beginning to wonder if I'm happier not drinking at all. Crazymum - you said something about being free and I like that. This morning the first thing I thought about when I woke up was drink - how much did i have, will I drink tonight etc which was how it was every day and I'm thinking now it would be good to lose those chains. The hard bit is going to be tonight - I always want to drink the next day - send me some "Don't Do It Anna" vibes - pleeese

bearacus

Gardenanna - big hugs to you (((( hugs))) and sending lots of dont do it vibes for tonight xx
Rachel- Sorry you have such a crappy week (((hugs))) . hoping the car doesnt cost to much and so glad to hear your mum is feeling a little better x
Missp- glad you mum is feeling better too x

21 af please shaggy x

Finally watched the last episode of sherlock with AF koppaberg last night x Dont know whats happened to my diet though - all i seem to eat is burger king and chippies at the minute I dont even really like them grrrrr
And with my holiday fast approaching in 7 weeks its not doing my holiday wardrobe any good So aim this week is just to cook and eat healthly like i normally would and cut out the rubbish wish me luck x

Happy sunday everyone

12 AF please Shaggy, and thanks for keeping tabs on us

The longer I go without a drink the better I feel but there are still some problems to overcome. At the moment the biggest is that I'm bored in the evening. I have lots of things that I enjoy and that I could do, I just can't be bothered to do them Last night I found myself waiting to go to bed! Today I'm going to decide what my pastime will be for the evening and do it whether I feel like it or not - sometimes a kick up your own bum is the only way Boredom is NOT a good reason to have a drink, or ten.
