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

Not sober tonight :-(


I intended to be AF, then the event I was at finished early, so I thought I'd enjoy a nice glass of red. Then DH (grrr.... not so D ... H) decided to be ars...y, because I dared to make too much noise during a TV programme (oh, they are SO important), and I glugged the first glass and topped up pdq.


Why do I sink to his level? He is way too controlling. Tells me I'm a bully (oh, yes, hold a mirror up to yourself matey). Anyone who thinks he should do something other than what he decides upon is a bully in his opinion.


Sorry for venting the rage, but otherwise I'll be raging and drinking more.

gien I hope the next few days go well for you & your DH.

No more AFD's for me but very controlled drinking

I would like to set my target for June at 12 please shaggy

The :mad::mad::mad: is coming through loud and clear satchmo. I can't imagine which TV programme demands such attention!


And breathe.....

Thanks Maman, I resisted finishing the wine, so that's good.

Thanks for the Hug Maman and the nice wishes Permenantlystressed, sukeyboo.

We went out to dinner last night - very nice group of people, lots of laughing, but I do feel tired the is morning!
I think that I will need to not drink over the coming month - as I'll want to have all the energy I can for hat needs to be done!

Think I need to come back "on the wagon" for June. May has been a disaster, had 3AFDs this month and yesterday I had far too much to drink, not feeling very well today after that.

gien

Well Alex I feel the same as you so we could do it together - how about a dry June?
I've read your diary and I see quite a lot of parallels between your situation and ours. Have you found it helpful having a diary here? I'm thinking of starting one to chart our progress over the period when my husband will be leaving one job and (hopefully) finding another. I'm terrified if I am honest but what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

I'm not sure I'm up for a completely dry June but I reckon I could do 21 days or so?

As for my diary, I used to find it helped an awful lot but recently, I have really been struggling to find any motivation whatsoever and have more confessions with regard to my finances than I dare put on the diary. So, I suppose it's whole purpose is currently being wasted as I just cannot face things for the moment. However, it was very, very helpful when I first started trying to "sort my life out".

Hi everyone, just passing through to update. But I can't remember where I was or how many more days I have done. Suffice to say I have been sticking to my 2 nights drinking a week, so my target should be ok. This is what happens when you dont log in daily. Argh.

Right off to read back over the past few days.
Hope you are all ok
