epic fail on the not drinking front yesterday. Drank on the lunch, got hammered, cried, recovered, drank more, fell over in middle of street and had to be helped up, got to hen do, boyfriend got called to take me home. NOT a good day. That's it now booze-wise until 17th dec.I want to be a writer0

(((Hugs))) Lulubelle. We all do it. Before I made the decision to stop drinking I'd recognised that when I knew I was going out with certain friends a feeling of doom descended on me about the amount of booze I'd sink, and how I'd feel about that afterwards. I'm very unsure and unclear as to why I thought I had no choice as to whether I drank or not on the day itself, because I kept that up for quite some time. In other words, I feel your pain this morning. Have another (((hug))).
27/30 please, Shaggy.Better is good enough.0 -
I feel your pain Lulabelle. Yep im your drinking sister. This is why I am on 7 days no drinks.
4 more to do this month.
Our bodies weren't designed to meet this amount of alcohol. So yes we will fall over. When I drink too much I always feel like I have to keep talking and its just garbage. I don't know the exact words but I know I should be embarrassed.
The girl who had the hen do, she probably thought it was part if the fun. Try not to worry, although I know its easier said than done. And remember the hen do girls, the lunch girls and your boyfriend - they all love you still. Hugs. xx2017- 5 credit cards plus loan
