Cutting Down Alcohol Thread

12/21 for me and aiming for two bouncy people at the weekend .

Annie it sounds v stressful and a bit of a reset might well help. Can you replace with a positive habit? I've got back into drinking nice herbal teas (not the vaguely fruit flavoured ones but things like lavender and white tea).

Good morning everyone.

12/31 for October and 1/2 for the weekend, please.

Weather's cold, wet and very windy here - hope everyone keeps safe and well this weekend.

Hi all, 10/21 for today please.

AnnieG

Thanks, it is stressful but I also feel a little bit like I'm on holiday, no alarm clock so why not have a drink?
I like fizzy water, and I like jasmine tea so I'll go and get some of that this morning. I feel rubbish, can't wait for a non hungover morning tomorrow!

(((Hugs))) AnnieG. The secret is not to have the first one. I know it sounds obvious, but I spent years thinking I would stop after one and I never, ever did. If you can get past the urge by drinking something else as Glenda SB suggests, or doing something else as Shaggy suggests, it will really help. When I stopped completely I used to go to bed really, really early and read - sometimes AF blogs, sometimes novels, sometimes books by women who had sobered up, sociology text books, whatever interested me that day. I spent a lot of time at my local library scouring the shelves for anything that would distract me, basically.



13/31 please, Shaggy.
