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

Morning :hello:

1 AFD for yesterday.

I've managed to switch from Cadburys Drinking Chocolate (52% sugar) to Bournville coca (100% coca - trace of sugar) as my bedtime drink on AFDs over the last week - and I've been sleeping brilliantly. Takes a bit of getting used to as it's quite bitter - I use a bit of milk and water to make my drink - like an instant coffee - rather than all milk.

If you're anything like me, the relief is absolutely overwhelming when you realise that you've finally found a way of not reaching for that first glass in the evening.

I do believe I've finally cracked it too. I don't mean I'm about to quit drinking - but I know I'll find the stop button when I decide to have a drink and climb right back on the wagon.

It is a relief :-)

And I will remain forever vigilant because it's taken a lot to get here (and when I think about it I've let quite a few really nice friends drift out of my life because of their different attitudes to drink from mine - so some sacrifice too).

Great posts on here. I well remember the early days HB pacing around. constant glasses of water, never trusting myself to post an AFD until bedtime.....
For anyone lurking, the feeling does pass. Honest!

After a day laying in A&E after collapsing in the caravan with chest pains, I can safely say 3/30 for me.

Not a great way to spend a Sunday

New_Me

Hope that's nothing serious Dizzy

3/20 please

Hope you are ok Dizzy


First AFD today, 1/25, which isn't a great start to the month. I did share with DH tonight that I wouldn't have a drink because I couldn't stop at just one (I've never said it aloud to him before). He said he was surprised because he's used to me being able to stop eating sweets after just a couple, whereas he can't.
