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

rachelww1

Have just got in from the hospital where they have finally admitted mum. She's very weak and dehydrated and has some sort of infection. At least she's in the right place now and hopefully they'll be able to sort her out. It's been a very long day, having tried to get her in there since Weds morning. Absolutely knackered now, but my mind is still racing so can't sleep yet. Need to though, as I have to be at work and do the school run in a couple of hours. Anyway 1 more AF day here making 9 please Shaggy. Night all x

Hi all,

Last week I drank half a bottle of whisky every night for 7 nights on the spin - no real trigger except that I enjoy getting drunk.

Have now set myself a target of not drinking until Thursday 23rd Feb where I will allow myself to get drunk after completing a work project.

I understand that this is completely the wrong attitude when it comes to cutting down/quitting alcohol, but at the moment it seems the best way for me.

After even one night drinking my cravings usually take 3 AF days to subside, so even if I just have one drinking night a week I spend half the week craving another drink.

Anyway, just wanted to get that off my chest.

Good luck all. :T

Hi Bretts - do you want to join the February challenge?

Good morning all!

Rachel- sorry to hear about your mum being poorly. I hope you managed to wake up to do the school run this morning!

Well done crazymum for another AF especially as you fancied a drink last night!

Yay, i got my next little person next to my name!! I am already thinking about Friday night and trying to decide if i am going to have another AF friday, or if i am going to have a small drink. Not sure yet, i'll have a ponder.

Have a great day everyone!

I take my hat off to you rachelww1, I struggle with work and the school run at the best of times, let alone on 2/3 hours sleep. I hope you managed to get some rest.......lots of positive energy vibes to you.
And on the upside, at least your mum is getting the care and attention she needs to get better - everything crossed for her xx

21 AFs pls Shaggy (YAY little pom-pom smiley :T)
