Giving up/ Cutting Down Alcohol Thread Part 16

Hello, sorry to have been MIA. The longer I didn’t post the harder it seemed to. Term 6 was incredibly busy, then the holidays and before I know it September is here.
But I have been mindful of my drinking and use the Drink Less app. I’m averaging 15-18 AF days a month.
I feel time poor so sorry for lack of being here. I haven’t even properly read posts for months.
Will try to keep up.
17 days for September please
Thank you.
Welcome back....that was me last year when we had the builders in. It's coming up to a year since they left....but we've had plenty still to do this last 12 months....starting to feel like we are really on top of it now which means more time for fun! Hopefully a long walk this weekend...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 -
Thought I'd mention this here - it's nothing to do with AFness - but the more people that know the better.
I took a phone call on our fixed line from a guy pretending to be a police officer - he said he'd arrested someone with a copy of one of my bank cards - it was very convincing... I got interrupted by someone and I said to him can you just hang on a mo...and I went back to the call and he'd gone....I then googled it and it was a scam!!!!
Be careful out there!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 -

Hello
5/18 for September ��Say what you mean.. mean what you say... without being mean.0 -
I am up to 3 for this month. Not going to call for today yet, but I doubt I will be drinking anything as want to make my 4 for the SNC.
Generally not feeling very well and have nagging ache at the base of my back for a while. In my head, it's my kidneys, but I've looked up where they are in the body and now I'm not so sure.
Thirsty like mad and I'm thinking it might be diabetes. Would the two be connected? Anything to do with drink even though I have cut down?
Not sure whether to wait till my cold is gone or go to the doctors now. I haven't been in ages and not even sure how to go about making an appointment.Pink Sproglettes born 2008 and 2010
Mortgages (End 2017) - £180,235.03

Pollyanna, you will probably have to wait for an appointment to the doctor so I'd make one today - the ache in your back sounds as though it needs medical attention. x0
