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

System

Spinning Sheep and Fruball - if you have time to work through this book I would thoroughly recommend its called 'Re-inventing your life'. I was advised to use this book in place of CBT whilst attending a mental health counsellor - this the last step before being referred to a psych consultant - thankfully it worked for me I needed to find out who I was and what I was about I had a melt down

I also am a firm believer of the amygdala (after learning about it on this thread) and the re-programming your brain (there is a lot of information on this on the internet)

Using both of these tools and of course this wonderful, amazing, incredible thread - im learning more about myself and my triggers

I try not to dwell on the fuzzy or lost memories that over-indulgence has caused - in fact I have started to note down as a memory enters my head so I can expand on it later :j

Im definitely better sober than even a wee bit tipsy BUT that's a step too far for me at the moment - as many AFs nights as I can push for is my goal at the moment.

Oh and Shaggy BTW - I was so, so, so chuffed at the Smiley I got for my 11/31 AF days in January...I have definitely joined the 'saddo' club - yeeeehooooo!!!!!!!!!!

So good day at work and actually managed to finish a bit earlier too!

OH isn't back yet and cleaner has been in so house all nice and clean and smelling fresh! Sitting quietly in a tranquil gleaming living room with chilled wine and champagne sitting ominously in the fridge. God it makes me want to have a drink!!! Wish it was 8pm!!

Now I should go and cook dinner for OH getting in in an hour but that makes me justify in my head having a glass of wine!

Calling early again - 3/22 AF!

Good Luck anyone struggling!

Off for a walk.............

Hi everyone.

2/15 please shaggy

Love the feeling of not having drunk the night before too in fact its becoming quite the norm on skool nights now

Cant remember who said it but I totally stand by the quote that nobody ever wakes up wishing they had drunk the night before

4/26 please

Declaring 4/25. Thank you, everybody. Yes, I am very determined to get to my target this month. So much so, I'm more interested in reaching my 25 days than in having a drink.

3/24 AFDs for yesterday. Internet was down last night, so couldn't read or post on here, which I missed more than a glass of wine!
