The Cutting Down / Giving Up Booze Thread (Part 14)

maman

Well done on resisting the mulled wine Cathy. I had a fair few glasses of that in Poland last week to keep the cold out. Lush!:D


Pleased with myself last night. I dithered, decided to leave it for an hour or so then thought it was late to start drinking. So an unexpected Friday for me.


12 AFDs please Shaggy.

Well done Cathy Bird. I love mulled wine, and all those adverts on tv don't help!
Maman an AF Friday night (you impress me), i'm finding the weekend evenings a bit hard and have taken to going to bed at 1030pm to read..... I hope I don't have to do that long term but it's definitely safer at the min.

Happy Saturday night to you all..... It's getting colder outside. Brrrr

I would like to cut my hours and work part time, but have been told it isn't possible to do my job part time (despite me knowing a couple of people, admittedly not lots, who do the same job and only work 4d a week). I have thought of going contracting but that would likely involve a lot of travel. The upside would be that I could take months off between contracts......whether it would work like that in reality I don't know!

I have just put in a formal request to reduce my working week to 4 days & am waiting to hear the outcome - hopefully it will be the one I want

Maman and Freedom Beckons, I love mulled wine too. It was earlyish in the day, and really felt too early, which helped

sukeyboo, well done you, hope they give you the four days - I wish more workplaces would be flexible about these things.

I was driving last night so had an AF Saturday. Most unusual. Loving waking up this morning feeling great. Because I knew I couldn’t drink I didn’t miss it. Small seed in my head about tonight though. Not sure yet.

Hi Cuppa Tea, I agree it is hard when the nights are long, dark & cold.... I feel great that I have made a start on my christmas shopping though. Not much but it is a start never the less. Going away up north for a night away next month and hope to complete it then. I have a list, so semi organised at least.

Hope everyone has a good Sunday, there is a christmas market here. DH,dog & I might pop down for a look.

Happy Sunday all xx

Excellent news Sukey - let us know how it goes.

I'm so used to this now that I realise I take that feeling for granted. I lived with hangovers for 10 - 20 years most days of the week, and I'd forgotten that. Great feeling though, really glad you found it so straightforward Cuppa Tea.

I think I forgot to post yesterday. Ooops.

26/30 please, Shaggy and 31 for December.

17/24 please Shaggy

Please can I set a target of 14 for December please I have even more on than I realised.

Had the smallest glass of wine yesterday at home before bed. Much better than 5 at the pub and hangover/memory loss.
