Cutting Down Alcohol Thread

Arkers, fingers crossed for your pooch to make a good recovery.I really want to cut down on alcohol but find it so difficult. I said I wouldn't drink this weekend but did Fri, Sat and Sun
I dont know whether to stop it completely or just stop drinking in the house. Its so difficult.
Hi Danipat, As you’ll see I haven’t got the answers yet but didn’t want to post and run.
For me I agree on the idea of picking one day is good. I find weekends harder so for me it would be a day I’m working as it’s shorter to get through. I think having food, sleep, something to do that evening to take my mind off it and get help from my household in advance. So if I tell OH in advance, make sure there’s no cold wine in the fridge before I leave for work and try and eat dinner early. Getting in the bath can help as long as I don’t persuade OH to bring me wine. Getting into PJs so I won’t be bothered to get dressed to go to the off licence. Having a something I like to drink booze free helps me too.0 -

Oh I wasn't suggesting it was a good idea - it helps with keeping people thin but with absolutely nothing else :rotfl:0 -
Hi all , I don’t know why but as the day has gone on ,,, my regret of drinking sat and sun has got worse !!
I can’t seem to cut back ,, so again I say it’s all or nothing with me !

Good luck Danipat - I found re reading this thread very useful when thinking of reducing the number of days I was drinking or stopping. There is lots of good advice and reading the comments from others really helped. Hope you are successful with whatever you decide to do.0 -
My son graduated from his RAF training school today. I was so very proud to watch him graduateWhat 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
