AF - 11/26SNC - 4/5. Declaring tonight because I am sure now that I will not be tempted


Today I have made a list of the months how many days are in them and how many days I will be AF.


Still I have 94 days on there that I will/may have a drink. This includes 1 night each weekend and 2 weeks holidays and a few extra over Christmas.


While I was doing this, it came to me, that if I feel the need to do this sort of thing it must be a problem. Surely normal drinkers don't do this.


Anyway if this is what I need to do then I will go with it, definitely want to cut down on the 94 days though, the thought is making me feel sick. But at the moment I can't say I will never drink again.


Off to Zumba tonight, if I can get there in this snow.


Have a good evening everyone

Normal drinkers don't think they are drinking too much nor do they worry about their drinking.
I have a normal relationship with many things, but alcohol is not one of those. My drinking wasn't quite normal from the start.

As I was told by someone "If you need to control it, then it's out of control"

Morning all. That's 3/10 AF for me please Shaggy and I have completed my SNC commitment of 3/3.
Woke up this morning feeling like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders and my terrible headache has gone.
Slept deeply for over 10 hours as well - wow. I'm liking this feeling of being well rested. Had planned to drink this evening but may not.
Have a good day everyone!

Ouch this hit home...this is me

Not been around much over the last few weeks life has just got out of hand, and so has my drinking again. I am going to look at 'real' life support groups near me as I think that is what I really need and I just need to stop not cut down. Well I can't cut down, it's all or nothing with me I have come to the conclusion.

Shaggy I am on 3 AFD for Feb please.

Just typed a long post and lost it lol.
13 AF days and 3 SNC.
Gave a 70 year old man a lift to the pub last night and told him about the tranquilising effect of alcohol and that I'd given up. No response but I think he was shocked. He drinks whisky and we often compare drunken antics.
Happy Valentines Day everyone man or woman I'm not fussy lol.
