Giving Up/Cutting Down Alcohol Thread Part 17

maman

I think it's quite usual to get emotional at school carol concerts @alt80, so you should fit in well. You can always try 😎 for an extra cool look. I would advise against waving to your son though. That's quite common too (pun intended). 😁

You're doing brilliantly. Well done. 👏

That's a good ploy for cutting down @Watty1. Useful for pacing yourself through an evening. 😊

23 for this evening. 

A few of my staff were going out after work. They do regularly, always same ones. Sometimes it's hard them no longer asking me if I'm going to the pub with them but tbh it's also good to have a bit of distance if that makes sense I think I'm viewing them more objectively and less as 'mates' who only stay mates for as long as I'm paying them to do a job. 

@Watty1 my real problem wasn't alcohol tbh but I'm quite aware drinking has the potential to lead to relapse so I have to be very careful. Christmas is going to be challenging already know and already gearing up to win.

You're doing brilliantly with cutting down and I think having that awareness and applying it is ultimately what it takes, well done.

@sukeyboo thank you. Next week is 26 weeks for me - half a year free from my addiction. 

@Wanna_Bee_Free thank you. I did have a few episodes of out of control drinking early in my recovery tbh it probably was to almost try to block some of the things that were going on in my head so I 100% can see where you're coming from. 

@maman haha thanks for making me smile lol.

I am feeling really pleased with myself for staying AF last night. There are 35 days remaining this year including today. For the last few years by this point in the year my annual target of 150 is no longer possible. I'm currently on 128/150. This year it's still possible but feels like a big challenge. Last year I had 4 AF days in December so I can and will need do significantly better than that this year!

Going to set my December AFD target at 20, which will see me pass my 2021 target of 300 by 5 days hopefully.

Hello everyone 
Cathybird,  I think I'm 23/30 today,  on the assumption that I was 22/30 yesterday.
