The Giving Up/ Cutting Down alcohol support thread - number 12

Thanks Free,

Monday I make my last payment, but its in July that I will notice the (financial) difference when I am £280.month better off.

I am now TT, so I will celebrate with a soft drink both on Monday when I make my last payment, and on the day Payplan tell me that my debts have been paid in full.

I am glad to hear that you have been inspired by my story (amongst others), because it proves that people can change their lives in a positive fashion.

Good luck to you !.

Antonic you only have 1 month left until debt free - you must be bubbling over with excitement - that is an amazing achievement.

TheBoss - I am new here and I find it is motivational hearing how well other people are doing so please keep posting.

I am ending May with 10 AFDs - bring on June

Going to just miss my target of 28 days, drank 4 nights this month, but that was one evening which was one bottle of Bud, one night of 3 bottles of Becks and one night on 1 1/2 pints and one night of a big binge

But not had a drink since Sunday evening and completed a charity walk to Lords yesterday

So 27 for the month!

June AFDs Target = 28

Just passing through quickly read, but can't reply as should be out not on the pc.

Declaring 25/24 for May. I managed to recover from that 3 day week in the middle. I thought I would do quite easily, but glad i proved I could.

Target for June same again please - 24.

Well done everyone for targets reached, for trying and for just being here. I find it encouraging and helps me stay on track.

THE BOSS - I think its unamious, your staying!!!!

Hello all - hope everyone is enjoying the rare treat of an (almost) summer day.

I had wine yesterday but can happily declare, even at this early stage of the evening that today is an AF day bringing my total to 7 for May. .



I am currently ploughing through the thread and now on page 95 so will hopefully have caught up by tomorrow evening.

Shaggy - can I change my June total to 29 please?. .

Thank you

Joanne

Hi
14 AF please Shaggy which is my total score for May. Im quietly :j pleased with myself as this is probs the first time that ive met my target this year and prob the first Fri in yonks that ive been AF. Cup of tea and walnut whip for supper Target for June will go for 12 again as it seems to be my lucky target on here. Lovely day here unfortunately was in work all day. Got friends coming round for dinner and drinks tomorrow night, making lots of Spanish tapas . They are a great bunch of people we all get on so well. Hope you all have a great weekend

Well, it's the last day of an AF month. My brain has been telling me to drink tonight as it's the last day and one day won't matter as I've been AF for 30 days. Then my brain also says if you do all of May then you can start drinking tomorrow i.e. June. It is like being possessed by a demon lol. So I am not drinking tonight and I'm scared to set a June target, really I'm bricking it. 31 AF days. That's all I can promise as I do not trust myself at all. The thought of a new month frightens me as I have not drink since April and can't imagine doing another full month. But if I drink next month I will say to myself that I've blown it and beat myself up and then carry on drinking. I don't want to drink anymore, especially now I've lost 11 lbs in 5 weeks on slimming world.

You're doing great 41 and must be so proud of yourself.
I am up to page 95 and your year has been pretty awful (especially March :eek::eek:

Whatever your target for June - good luck

I have ended May with a drinking night - we've had an old friend over for dinner and I had some wine with my meal. I feel quite in control and happy with the amount I have drunk

Glad to hear that I am not irritating or annoying anybody. I'd hate to do so on a thread where I know some people find it a lot more difficult.

Now clean for two months. 27 more days to equal my best of 88 days from late September to December 2011. I'm going to keep going until late July when I've exceeded 100 days. So that makes my target 30 for June.
