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

debjay

Declaring early 24/31 tonight. Off out for a colleague's leaving do. Normally DH would drive so I could have a drink or 2 but not this month. I don't drink at all if I'm driving so feel confident to declare this early tonight.

In early for 20/25 AF days tonight as am driving.

Just catching up on the busy thread again as been away for 4 days on a Spa break/retreat which was lovely.

With all the talk of dryathlon and what to do in Feb, I have been thinking myself about my next steps with alcohol. I didn't miss it when I went AF in Oct and Nov (not after the first couple of shaky weeks) and now when I drink, I don't really enjoy it that much. However, becoming officially teetotal brings with it a certain amount of pressure, so may just hold fire a bit on the decision.

Still struggling with overeating though and that's a whole different beast for me!

365 - really glad about your news!
Alex - just keep going, that's the hardest part when something is so difficult, you haven't given up, I imagine you being like a stubborn mule pulling against a rope!
Guiness cat - welcome and well done on your success so far.

Good luck for the weekend for all those who are struggling.

1 more for me please Shaggy - I think that takes me to 12/18. Going to have to be really good for the rest of the month if I am to meet my target... after today there are just 7 days left and 6 need to be AF :eek:

20/31 AFDs tonight

24/31 AFDs for me now. Celebrated getting a good offer on our house by having a cup of tea - amazing. The prospective buyers are in rented accommodation and have cash waiting, so want to move quickly. Eek, that means we need to find somewhere to rent sharpish. Anyone know a lovely rental in Ainsdale/Southport/Formby area for a few months?


Need to get packing boxes and start packing away what isn't needed for the next few months.

4/14 for today.

Had a drink last night.
Decided as I'd had a good day, OH had somehow finished a bit earlier and I knew I wouldn't tonight or this weekend so we had some fizz and wine. Didn't get crazy and finish those drinks then move onto spirits afterwards (as I previously was prone to do).

So for tonight back on track 11/19 AF.

PS Well done Alex!
