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

maman

I've had a good weekend. Was visiting family, who aren't big drinkers, so consumption was low.


Definitely AF tonight and might get a couple in during the week too.


10 AFDs please Shaggy.


P.S. Hope you're OK, not seen you around for a few days.:)

3 more AFDs now so 10/18 now please Shaggy.


Have not had a good September with drinking. My stop button seems to be stuck!


Have a terrible hangover today. Went out for a nice meal and had a G&T and a few glasses of wines. I'm mostly annoyed with myself thought that I came home and finished off half of bottle of wine. Haven't done that for a while. Feel shocking today, am really drifting in to bad habits again.

Shame that those buttons never get stuck in 'On' position!;)


Don't worry, line drawn, move on and try to visualise the hungover feeling next time your tempted.:)

This thread! It's massively important to me.

I also read quite a few sober blogs and I signed up for Belle's 100 Day Challenge from the blog Tired of Thinking About Drinking. She's very, very supportive and I'm finding it very helpful.

OH is supportive and doesn't mind being handed my glass of bubbly when people want to celebrate - and he's a happy drunk. I'm not sure I ever was, really. He's reduced his alcohol consumption by about two-thirds, so its a win win situation for us both.

I can't stand the thought of sitting round in a dusty village hall at an AA meeting - I'm sure it's a wonderful organisation and it works for a lot of people, but unless I could find a women-only group (none locally) it wouldn't work for me. (I'd be grateful if no-one offered 'helpful' advice about that - I know myself and what works for me pretty well.)

My aim was to see if I could get to 100 days, initially. It's been 57 so far and although I don't feel complacent about it, it gets easier for me.

How about you? It sounds as though you spend quite a lot of time on your own, and that doesn't suit everyone.
