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

maman

I'm finding calling in early in the day really helpful. The feeling of accountability is good for me. I know this thread is completely supportive and non judgmental but it matters to me when I've made the commitment. So decision made, so much easier than wavering around wine o'clock.


2 AFDs please Shaggy.

Well done you - Always great to see your posts.

I have been thinking the same reading people saying 'What am I going to do in February'

Do whatever you WANT to do. If January has shown you that your life/health/wealth has improved without alcohol why on earth would you go back there if you didn't a) respect yourself b) crumble to peer/advertising pressure c) be addicted.

Just my thoughts.

Think Ive decided what Im going to do in Feb :j

Where's Alex and what have you done with him

Seriously, you must be thrilled. Very well done. And keep going.

Sounds like a few corners are being turned as far as relationships with alcohol go, not wishing to put the kiss of death on these things, we know it's ongoing.

All my good intentions went to pot here we are the 6th Feb and I have drunk every night for the past week.
Why do I do it, anyway I've been the doc's this morning for my blood pressure as I take tablets for it and I've gotta go for blood tests. I have them every six months or so but last time I went my liver function test was slightly raised and I was told to cut down on my drinking but guess what I haven't.

So let's start again this month I can still reach my target so I'm calling it early today as I have been having a bit of a think about life and my health

Today will be 1/12 for me please shaggy I am definitely not drinking today

Fruball

[STRIKE]I am calling in early with 3/18, thanks shaggy[/STRIKE]

Early call for me at 5/23 AF for me tonight, driving to play badminton match so can hardly drink after that now can I? (she says as if she never drank after badders in the past )

Great to see so many losing weight as well - assuming they want to of course! Am getting on top of my particular eating issues. I just don't want to regain any more of the weight I lost when I cut down on alcohol. Is it just me who's never satisfied?

gien

Well, I'm just here preparing dinner and the tought that I might fancy a glass of wine flited across my mind.

So I am straight in here to declare tonight Alcohol Free and I'm going to turn the kettle on and have a cup of tea instead!
