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

Ohwhatamess

Thanks maman, I really appreciate the support. I get myself thinking it shouldn't be this hard, but I guess this forum wouldn't exist if it was easy. At this time of day it seems so straightforward though.

Day 2 didn't go so well. Usual wine and munchies, followed by lack of sleep and more munchies. Look and feel rubbish today.

We have all been there OWAMess - I just need to remind myself that the way I feel after an AF day and the satisfaction of posting another for Shaggy to add to my total usually feels much better than the couple of glasses of wine I "reward" myself with - that said I have had a dire month, holiday, family bereavement and my dad taken into hospital - time to walk the talk for me

Total of 29/27 AFDs this month

Ok. Well July had the grand total of 2 AFDs. Would've been zero had I not been on here so it's a start. If I can go AFD tonight I'll feel like it's an achievement. So annoying when I can't stick to it as I feel much better today, up at 6 and got loads done before work.

2 has to be better than none, every AF day counts. It's not easy but it does get easier (promise;)).

Thanks for calling by heath.:)

:T:T:Tto Shaggy for another month of scoring.:A

I'm definitely getting my first for August tonight! Hope lots of you will be joining me.

Hi All :wave:

I got back of holidays last week, new internet was not connected until Saturday, & I have been run off my feet in work. I had a drink every day I was off . I normally would drink waaay more than I did but I stuck to a bottle a night. I was dreading Monday coming & becoming AF again, DH is away training for 4 weeks in his new job & dd is away staying with my SIL this week. I had no need to worry & am shocked at how easy it has been, I did have cravings but not enough to go out & buy wine, have beer vodka & morgans in the house but was not tempted. Today will be 4 in a row AF which is a new personal best for me .

So I only had another 3 AF's for July.

Shaggy, can you please set my August target for 20AF's please, thank you, hope you are all well, I will try to catch up later on x
