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

arsenalbarnie

Well what can I say, but sat here at silly o'clock again thinking why the hell did I drink all that wine. Have just read Alex's inspirational post and realising I must knuckle down and cut back on my alcohol consumption.I know why I do it, to cope with a difficult OH mainly. He doesn't realise he's difficult and maybe it's me but who knows it sure as hell isn't going to be any easier with me in a cloud of wine fug every night. Moan over must get back to bed and see if I can get some sleep.

Adding another from yesterday to take me to 7/20 please Shaggy.

I'm amazed at the difference in me - it's like Dry January pressed a reset button or something. DH had a beer last night, and previously I absolutely would have joined him in a drink. But I didn't even need to have a debate with myself - I'd made my decision earlier in the day, and didn't want one. It's a personal revolution!

eta it isn't just Dry January - it's this thread. Amazing. Thank you all xxx

Lovely, motivating post has inspired me to call in early too.


3 AFDs please Shaggy.


Sorry you are having a bad time arsenalbarnie. Of course you're right that the wine's not helping. Hopefully this week will be better.:)

Good morning...how did Monday come around so quickly!!

Well...I don't have any more AFs. Friday night was a disaster - I drank too much and forgot Shaggy's STOP BUTTON BUT I did cut down on Saturday night and finished the night on soda water and lime - a big step in the right direction!! Last night was the last glass of red left in the bottle (well it was winking at me and I couldnt resist) but this was followed by a hot chocolate rather than heading out to the supermarket to get another bottle
Shaggy - Im still on4/20 but my mini-goal is not to have another glass until Saturday night

Have a great week everyone :grouphug:
