Cutting Down Alcohol Thread
Comments
-
Hello everyone!
I am up to 27/16 for this month and 3/5 for the SNC.
I'm fairly confident of doing the next two days AF as I seem to have cracked drinking during the week and I like the feeling of getting up in the morning not fuzzy headed.
I think I will drink this weekend though as I have proved to myself that I can cut down and that I can not drink at the weekends, but at the same time, it is something nice to look forward to when we are sitting down of a Friday night watching a film with popcorn.
I don't seem to suffer from hangovers the weekends as long as I get enough sleep. I'm still usually up by about 8 or 9 though.
I mentioned to my dad though that I seem to have been more ill this month than any other month, so maybe the alcohol was what was keeping me well! He didn't look too impressed and just handed me another cup of tea!Pink Sproglettes born 2008 and 2010

Without my friends inside my iPad I wouldn’t being so well ,, so I really can say from the bottom of my heart thank you so far ,,,,,,,x
What a lovely way of putting it.:D I'm so pleased we can all help each other. It's fascinating how something which is effectively a star chart for grown ups can be so motivating.:)
Thanks for the explanation Maggie. I applaud you for tackling weight and booze together:T. That's very difficult. It sounds like a gruelling regime, but if it works for you then I'm not knocking it.:)
Today will probably be my last AF day for January so a big thanks to you all for another month especially Shaggy for the daily updates. :A
I didn't post yesterday as I knew it was going to be a long day, difficult in parts. I still fancied rewarding myself with a drink when I got home at 10.30 p.m. but I told myself to make a hot drink and hope the feeling would pass. It did!:D
19/10 AFDs please Shaggy.0 -

What do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.0 -

Good evening
I'm definitely not drinking tonight, am going to have a couple of hot chocolates instead!
21/15... hooray, I get the 21 days emoji, so exciting!!! I'm easily pleased and totally love the description of this as a star chart for grown ups!
