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

BlueDaisy

7/27 for me please. So pleased that I managed to be at home with nothing planned at the weekend and still stayed away from alcohol. I haven't done that in a long time! I usually only log in here from work, hence the early morning weekday updates. Stay strong all

I mentioned it to a friend and she asked me if I could post on here for her to find out if anyone had tried it!! It does seem rather expensive so she did not want to waste over £20 on a bottle if it was not any good. It is her husband that she feels is drinking too much as he does like his scotch!! I offered to get some information for her if I could!!

Has anyone else had any experience of purchasing from www.Arkay.com . Apparently they sell Alcohol free larger and wine amongst others!!

Any information would be gratefully received.

I think I'd be interested Edwink, as well, but as you say, £20 a bottle is expensive. I looked at the website quite some time ago but then found B3ck$ B1ue, so I've had no need to hunt for any other AF drinks. Does anyone know any bars or pubs that sell it?

I'd like to try the AF spirits but if they're anything like as disappointing as the AF wines I had it would be another pile of cash down the drain. To be honest, the longer I'm AF the less I'm interested so Ark@y's opportunity to recruit another customer is rapidly disappearing (Day 170).


11/31 please, Shaggy.

Honey bear a lot of pubs bars and supermarkets sell it now (well here they do):D Personally re non alcholic wine yet to find one that doesnt taste like sweet fizzy apple juice whilst costing the same as a normal bottle of wine!

Declaring another 2..also an Af weekend so
5/20 please shaggy xx

Feel so tired still but getting there slowly my mental well being and happiness has increased ten fold. Who knew I could be this happy? And I came of My anti-d 2 months ago. I have taken up meditation and yoga, jogging and discovered I lve just dance on the wii and resistance training woooo. Love it.
This thread is lovely so many truthful and kind people..I should never have left xx Have an amazing day all xx

I usually go to the pub on a Sunday afternoon to watch the live footy with friends but the weather was so crappy that I didn't feel like turning so stopped at home at caught up on some long overdue housework. Doing cleaning rather than watching football in the pub - what has happened to me?!

What a shame you missed a great match!!:D:rotfl:

So, I had to go to the shop this evening which would usually result in the debating team winning however, I was prepared for it so once it started, I saw it for what it was and decided not to listen!

I've been there fruball. I've been in my kitchen and told myself off like a naughty child. 'No you're not having wine tonight, it's an AF day so don't even think about it!'. Ridiculous but it's worked.;)


No drinking here today.


4 AFDs please Shaggy.

Hi Ellsbel


It is mentioned on this thread by "Wanna Bee Free" post number 3621.


I mentioned it to a friend and she asked me if I could post on here for her to find out if anyone had tried it!! It does seem rather expensive so she did not want to waste over £20 on a bottle if it was not any good. It is her husband that she feels is drinking too much as he does like his scotch!!

I am a non drinker myself but pop on here from time to time as I found this tread some time ago and started reading it. I then became interested in how you were all doing!! Wow you are all such an inspiration and deserve much respect!! Well done!!!


Edwink x

Not seen that one before but there is some stuff on alcoholfree.co.uk that is cheaper - not sure what its meant to be though it is under a spirits substitutes tab.

Can recommend the AF Cava type wines .... yum
Some of the AF lager isn't bad either . Becks and bitberger are the best iMO.

Have a good day everyone
