Hi Everyone,

Mixed results with the moderation attempts these last couple of weekends. I've started drinking whatever I fancy again (wine/beer/cider) which can lead to drunkeness quite easily.

My worst night was at a party at a friends house where they were doing cocktails. I had a few G & Ts but I suspect they were doubles at least. I then went on to drink all kinds of cocktails (all made for me by the hosts) and don't remember leaving the party. I woke up at another friends house on the sofa but don't remember getting there at all, so lost probably an hour of memory at least

I think the problem there was letting a male friend make my drinks for me and probably receiving man-sized quantities of alcohol in each drink!

On the plus side I have had a few nights where I've managed not to drink to excess, but still drinking enough to feel a bit tired the next day and the tiredness does build up over a few days. The regular tiredness is affecting my relationship with the boyf I think as I get grumpy or just very quiet and am not great company....so still improvements to be made!

I think checking in on this thread more often would help. Maybe next month I'll set alcohol-related target for myself. I'm skint now for the next 2 weeks so am contemplating trying to go alcohol-free for the rest of the month - this weekend there's a big birthday party so that would be tricky to do sober but not impossible. Will see!

Happy Tuesday

My moderate drinking is going very well which is a surprise. I have decided to ditch wine as that is my problem drink, and have switched to a lowish alc cider instead. 2 glasses of that is fine for me and then bed

Shaggy, would you mind removing my 3 total please as I am not going to count whilst I am attempting this other way of cutting down/giving up At least not for now.

Thank you

afd no 2 for me
