Giving Up/Cutting Down Alcohol Thread part 18
Comments
-
I am back from my little break. It was great to be alone and not have peer pressure to drink. Now the battle begins to moderate alcohol whilst living with a heavy drinker. I have changed my mealtimes so I eat earlier as evenings are when most alcohol is consumed
I finished August on 18/21 but that's gone now so it doesn't matter.
I am AF today and yesterday so 2/15 please for September please @cathybird

Really pleased at turning down wine and there not being any noticeable reaction 3/15 for me please. If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them

2/10 for me today please
This afternoon DH and I have been visiting my son and DIL. DIL (34) has just had a radical mastectomy. She is recovering remarkably well, and is so positive. On the way home we popped in to a local restaurant and enjoyed a delicious Sunday roast. Lime and Soda for me
What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?5 -
Hi all, it'll be 4/23 please for 2day. Two gigs over the week-end. At Saturday's one, some &%£* made a misogynistic directed remark at one of our girl singers to which she instantly replied something on the lines of "But I'm one that can count past 4!". The same idiot, seeing our Ukrainian flag (our other singer is Ukrainian) said "Whose flag is that? Anyway Russia will win!". Our girls are rather good anyway and those remarks just spurred them on that little bit more. (I don't think we'll go back if he's there). At the Friday one, someone tried to steal one of our phones. We got the culprit on 'film', a very clear image. Big Tony chased him (not tricky in a packed pub!) and got it back. Targeted theft.
Rock'n'roll, eh?Now a gainfully employed bassist again - WooHoo!5 -
