Oh bless you, it's a horrible feeling isn't it? I've been trying to cut down and have toyed with the idea of stopping altogether. I've been reading some good blogs, links on the cutting down alcohol thread on here. Don't think I'm ready yet though.
Hope you feel better soon xx0 -

Hi Laura, just checking in to say hi and that I'm still reading your updates!
Why not try an alcohol detox or give it up for say a month (you could even do this for charity:)) and then you can see if you felt better or worse without booze in your life and if you felt worse then at least you have tried and also saved yourself a month of money while off it tooLove.. Levi...x

Thanks Levi,
I was just about to catch up with your diary and see how your getting on!!
Very good idea!!! I will do exactly that, give it a try for the month and see how I feel. I am more worried that when I drink I tend to have a ciggy and I do not want to start again!Total debt to pay: £14,071.41/ Remaining debt: £12,884.12: Amount Paid: £1,187.29

Diary Update:
Although I have not been on here much to update I am still fully focused on my debt free journey, I have been doing surveys through valued opinions to gather vouchers for boots to use for xmas instead of using my own money.
I have some expensive earrings on Ebay that I received as a gift, but I cant wear them because they irritate me, at the moment they are at £25.99 but the bids keep coming in with 2 days left!!!Whatever I get for them I am putting towards my debt of OH's mum.
14 days today until payday, not that I am counting.... But really can't wait to pay some more debts off.
