Giving Up/Cutting Down Alcohol Thread Part 17

Wanna_Bee_Free

Thanks for your supportive comments. Usually if he caves I do too. Generally he's trying to keep me company Monday to Thursday but is always delighted if I decide to drink. He tries not to put temptation in the way though which does help. I think the heat and poor sleep have made this week tough. I just need Mon - Thu next week to hit 14. I might try and sneak an extra one in tomorrow as I am a bit behind on my annual target. Better than quite a few years though! Sleep well everyone!

16 please through. Really heavy one on the work today: 7am-10.30pm with just over an hour break all day and a 3am sleep time last night, couldn't get to sleep so definitely bed now.

Re. AF I dread people making the 'are you not having a drink then' comments if I'm out somewhere and don't want a drink/ in a situation I would do well to avoid a drink where it's on my radar a few drinks could turn into a slip on the other stuff. I'm avoiding places/ people so no opportunities for anyone to say anything, doesn't mean I haven't considered it.

@Wanna_Bee_Free well done for resisting temptation.

4/10 AF yesterday but not doing very well. Away next week so not going to meet target. Hopefully August will be better. 

Well done WBF for resisting temptation - I know I couldn't do that.

Morning all, last sunny day for a while. Anyone get caught in the tornado Wednesday? My cat did, he came in looking like hedgehog!  Anyway 23/28 today, 109 AFDs in a row.

16/25 AFDs today 

Coveredinbees!!!!

I'm only on 12, went out tuesday night and said I wasn't drinking but someone bought me a jagermeister shot (which tasted like cough medicine to me) and a bottle of regular becks so that went out of the window and then Wednesday temptation got the better of me and I ended up doing 6 or 7 pints.

Hi all,

I’ve just caught up on the last 16 pages. Good to see familiar posters are still here. 

I’ve returned for the obvious reason of needing too. 

Must try harder. 

Will be target free for rest of the month and then 18 for august please. 

I’ll definitely try to check in everyday again. 

No more excuses. 

😥

Morning everyone,

Welcome back CuppaTea, I hope now that you have rejoined and posted again being on here will give you the right support for you to get lots of lovely AF days and feel proud of yourself and happy. So many people are drinking more in lockdown but so many of the lovely people on here are such a shining example and doing so well, especially Cathybird, Marahouti & Rob! I look forward to seeing your scores appearing soon on Cathy's runners and riders list!

Maggie, please don't forget that every AF day is still more than we were doing so try not to beat yourself up for 4/10. Just grab your days where you can and keep on keeping on. There is still a lot of year left!

Well I was hoping for a sneaky AF Friday last night but ended up joining in the wine with my hosts at dinner. "Just" a large glass, I worry about my feeling that it's hardly worth it when actually that is the recommended alcohol limit. 

Have a good weekend everybody!

17/25 AFDs today, will miss target this month, but it has been my birthday, two weeks annual leave and the Euros, so reasonably happy if I hit 24 AFDs
