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

9/17 AFDs for last night. The wine sirens were trying to tempt me to get a bottle from the stash in the boot of my car (for Christmas), but the weather helped as it was way too wild to venture out.
Hi, know I was as BAD girl last night, and had half a bottle of wine in anger, but please don't mark me down... I'd reached 9 for Wednesday night, but today's tally only shows 7 :xmassmile
However, I still feel that I was good, as I stopped at half the bottle. Then I ate chocolate until I gave up and went to bed just after 9pm.What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?0 -
7/22please.
satchmo I actually think I'd have a harder time giving up the chocolate than the alcohol:D0 -
Thanks, maman.

8/11 so far is excellent in my book.
That's 8 times mine so far!
Well done Alex!
Keep going Maman!!
Good luck everyone else and hello to Grassgirl & Ellsbel (great names by the way, how did you choose them?)
I am not on track with my plan for December. (Guess the observant amongst you spotted that!) Today I'm going to choose which 13 days will be AF before 2015.0 -

10 for tonight. Usually, I have a drink at the weekend but I'm not very well at the moment and my wife is away, so I decided not to bother.2018 totals:

12/28 please shaggy
Missed a day of my life totally on Friday due to being unwell - totally poleaxed and not a drop of alcohol involved!! However, it did me a favour in that whilst putting the decorations up yesterday, I'd normally do it with a glass of wine, I had milkshake!!0
