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

Poor_Single_lady

9/31 Thank you for all the help and kind words. It is so helpful.
I've also told myself if I have 1 at a party it's not the end of the world but would be nice not to. Nice to take the pressure off and breathe.

But The important thing for me is to be in control rather than being controlled. For me 1 is fine, 2 will lead to 3 and 3 will lead to losing track and something I will regret and not remember. But stopping at 1 is a challenge so easier to not have any or hold some to make other people feel comfortable and then put it down.

Welcome back Green Karen!

4/14 for me please Shaggy.

I have a colleague at work who suggests a drink after work in a pub every week or two which often turns into too many and without eating I roll home drunkenly. I have tried not drinking on those nights using weight loss as an excuse and actually it didn't make as much difference to how useful/much fun the evening was as I expected. I need to remember that!

Good morning all, 7/21 for me today please.

2/7 AF days for me.
I scanned all the previous postings I had missed briefly and remember someone saying they had a 'pink cloud' when it was all easy. Really rings home for me, thanks whoever said it, thanks x

There's a lot of wisdom flying around on this thread at the moment, thanks everyone. I might not pick everyone up on their quotes specifically but it definitely all goes in

9/25 for last night please

Great posts. Thanks guys.

Going to call early for tonight, I don't want to drink so I'm hoping by declaring early I will stick with it. Trying to stay on the straight and narrow this week and no school night drinking.

6/17 please Shaggy. I want to get my 7 days in for tomorrow.

That usually works for me too. It's going to work today!


Wasn't as moderate as I'd hoped last night. I only had a single glass in the pub but carried on when I got home. I did enjoy it at the time but regretting it now.:mad:


6 AFDs please Shaggy.
