The giving up/cutting down alcohol support thread!

yellowmonkey

Hi everyone :hello:

Well day 3 for me. Should make it to the start of day 7 now as I have 4 nights shifts coming up. My aim is to try to cut out buying drink when at home. If I find this too difficult I will try to limit it to just 1 can here and there.

Hi TNG. Nice to see you popping in.

Do you know what. Sounds awfull but I think I will find this harder than giving up smoking :eek:

That sounds really bad but I think it will be

Good luck everyone and have a wonderfull day. Got tidying up to do then pop to bed about 1pm for a few hours

Will catch up in the ungodly hours.

Welcome TNG for cut down, stop or whatever you decide! Could have murdered a glass of red last night & almost went & got some but resisted and tried to have an early night which didnt wrk & I didnt get to sleep until 12.30 & feel shattered today! uckily I have a meeting locally & some papers to read so a less than stressfull day in ISOM land...have a good day all. Hang i teher molly - some days youre gonna feel cack but if you cave now having done so well you'll be kicking yourself so hang in there & SEE how you feel at the magical 30 days! Great idea re multivits & greens jo! Have a good day all!Have a good sleep YM!!

morning all, well such a lot of activity on here this morning, took me a while to catch up with it all...

Had a good weekend, a few glasses of wine on saturday night, but not too bad, then a glass at home last night. Can feel it creeping back (the need) so am going to knock it on the head again completely. Otherwise it'll be one, then two a night again at least !!

Hi TNG- nice to see you again.. :hello:

and YM, I'll give up drinking for you, if you can give up smoking for me ?? x

and a big well done to mollypolly, Jo and BHB- you are all FANTASTIC !! and everyone else !! xxx

I try to go out running each week, but I think I overdo it as it takes me too long to recover. Constantly getting aches and twinges (NOTHING to do with my age, you understand ).

Didn't go last week, but went twice the week before. Looking to go this week (just the once, mind). Lost half a stone doing it though, so heading back (slowly) towards my 'smoking weight' :rotfl:

Maybe if I cut out the drink a little, I might lose a bit more

I want to put it in my sig but dont know what to call the challenge. Don't want people thinking I'm some kinda alcoholic or summat!
