The Giving Up/ Cutting Down alcohol support thread - number 13

Update - I've been assured by the people involved that it was just a healthy lively discussion. There's obviously still an issue if I'm waking up and can't fully remember though!

10/26 for yesterday please! Yesterday was easy (as we weren't out and I rarely drink on a sunday anyway given its a "school night"). Should be easy enough between now and Friday for that reason.

FPW - this is regular occurrence for me and one of the reasons why I want to give up - don't beat yourself up, learn from it and move on x

Wow Lulabelle, that's a lot of temptation! Well done on sticking to your guns.

Cuppa Tea, sometimes the best outcome is one we didn't know was going to happen - like being fullly aware of how and why we drink rather than just necking it, particularly 's*d it nights' is a huge positive. Keep posting!

Oh dear. I went to a friends house for dinner last night, drank too much wine and ended up in a heated debate during which I think I may have got a little personal. It wasn't a fall out, but a discussion turned into me possibly sounding a bit too righteous, (I think... I can't fully remember). I've already sent the apology texts but I'm feeling really awful this morning. It's a long time since anything like that has happened, and I'm not feeling good about myself at all.

FakePlasticTwee, the reason I gave up completely was my behaviour on the final night I drank. I was vile, absolutely vile, far worse than I'd ever been before and it took me by surprise. Up until then I'd always thought OH and I were both to blame for all the arguments, but that night I absolutely knew it was just me getting carried away on too much booze. Strangely it was a night that I didn't intend to drink at all. I had taken two bottles of tonic and a carton of tomato juice, so there was no excuse at all. Everyone was p***ed, not just me, but my behaviour was outrageous. I just stopped being able to accept my own behaviour and it was the final spur that gave me the impetus to stop. I don't think my relationship with OH would have survived another evening like that. Scary.

Slightly worried about Roland not posting since he had a drink the other day.

13/28 please, Shaggy.

debjay

11/24 for tonight please.
