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

Green_Karen

I really wish everyone well in their relationships, there aren't too many things in life that are worse than breaking up/coming to the end of a relationship. I have every sympathy.

Reporting early again with 10 AF tonight. My new target in my head will be 20 for the month.

17/26 please Shaggy off to try & find some common ground with OH!

Thank you all for your kind words. Still mulling my life/our life over.

Surely love should be enough or am I just spoilt generally and want the world or nothing at all??

One thing is for sure drinking alcohol and doing things:- phonecalls/texts whilst drinking would not help either of us!

N.B Calling in early has become the new black!

14/22 AF including tonight!

15/24 AFDs for me. I managed to get to work on time today for the first time in months. It isn't an issue with work, because we're pretty flexible and I just stay a bit later in the evening. It was lovely to finish at a few minutes after five though, so I should make the effort. I'm so not a morning person.

Criticised for chopping an onion and larger things? That doesnt sound much like love to me. Ive been there, its soul destroying and damaging.

Calling in with 9/15 please shaggy

Lots of driving involved at work this week so its good to know that sticking to snc will mean always a clear head

Enjoyed a few drinks over the weekend but nothing like the old days (pre Dec 2013 that is )
Still know i have demons to fight to make sure it never looks the same again but step by step I think I am getting there.

I look forward to a day I just don't fancy a drink rather than not having one so that I can hit my target. Not sure when that will happen but for now I am happy with the progress

Sorry for all suffering OH problems it must be struggle not to turn to the easy answer to smother the emotion. Lets face it if you are able to stay AF even during extremely tough times then that strength will carry you through to all other times.

Have a great week everyone :T

5 year Plan, it sounds like you have some great strategies in place there, but I have to confess that I don't fancy the idea of cold baths!!

So, confession time after all my bravado talk. I drank tonight - a couple of glasses of white wine. Nothing too damaging but it was in direct response to stress (my dog got run over today and I had to go to the vets in an emergency etc). Ok, so most people would say, of course you have a drink, had a nasty shock, have a glass to steady yourself. But I really felt so strongly the link between stress and drink....I learnt something.

11/20 for tonight. If I've done my maths right I'll have to not drink for one night over the weekend to make my target

Hi there Gien and Maman :hello:nice to see you again too!

AF tonight and I'm on 13/22. Before this I don't think I've had 2 AF days in a row since last July so I'm pretty glad to get some in. Trying to get rid of the every night habit.

Sorry to hear of folk having relationship problems.

I've been single a long time now but I do remember what it was like :eek:
