:T on your thirty two days!!**purpleprincess** wrote: »I'm aware that we're near the end so lurking for now. I haven't had a drink for 32 days now. I'm finding that everyone else is waaaay more bothered than I am. This does make me question myself though.
There are lots of reasons why it bothers other people. Mainly, I think, it's a form of jealousy. Most people know that they drink a bit too much but try to ignore it. You're bringing it to their attention so it makes them feel uncomfortable. I'm sure you're not judging but that's the way it feels. Just keep riding it out, they'll get used to it in time (or join you;)).Needless to say DH had quite a few stronger ones, and unbeknownst to me SS was stashing them away too!
I found out just how much on the journey home when I had to pull over and wipe him down three times. He was also very ill at home. Watching/looking after him was a harsh reminder of how things used to be for me. Although I did clean his clothes and shoes and got the worst out of the car (DH showered him and sat with him), I did make him valet and wash the car this morning.
I'm sure we've all been there and, in his defence, Pimms doesn't taste very alcoholic so it slips down all too easily. I remember a similar episode with a friends HM strawberry wine.:o Hopefully it's all part of a learning curve for him.
I'm taking it a day at a time this week. Pleased with myself that I didn't decide yesterday counted as weekend because of BH. Really needed the AF day as this month's total's so poor.
7 AFDs please Shaggy.0 -
Afternoon :hello:
5 more AFDs for Thursday through to yesterday.
ShaggyxWhat do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.0 -

Hello.
My name is Alchemilla and I am not very good at moderate drinking.
DH and I don't drink on schoolnights but go for it weekends and holidays...and egg each other on.
Recently family members have pointed out he looks yellow, I can't see it but I thought if I gave up he might cut down. I am just as bad as him if not worse though.
Can I set a 30 day target please?0 -
Can I set my target for June at 24/30 please?0
