The giving up/cutting down alcohol support thread!

oh jo what we gonna do with you, are you feeling better now than you were this morning, if so try and remember what you felt/looked like and do you want to feel like that tomorrow

jo1972

Yeah I'm pretty much recovered now. It's a little like giving birth, the minute the child pops out you're like 'my god I'm never doing that again!' then a little way down the line you forget all that!

I shall pop to Tesco/Sainsburys/wherever in a little bit and buy some treats for later. Plus I gotta beat OH at Buzz general knowledge game on the PS2 which he bought me during the week so can't be !!!!!! for that!

Oh and just for the record, I definately don't wanna look like I did this morning ever again!

well I will be having 6 cans of johns tonight and then nothing until next weekend, I dont think I want to give up completely. btw can you remember adam ant, I thought he was a to$$er

jo1972

Oh god I used to LOVE Adam Ant *swoon* I was 10 when goody 2 shoes came out so a bit young but fell for him completely a few years later!

Have a good one tonight, hope you're not suffering tomorrow

AB...remember Adam Ant I was a 10yr old in peddle pushers doing the actions to prince charming:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Jo...Big hugs hun, you are doing so well but sometimes when thing get crap we need something to lean on and unfortunatly for us its alcohol Try not to beat yourself up about it too much. Maybe tonight you should take the kids out somewhere you need to drive so you won't be able to drink??

Im suffering myself today had a crap day yesterday with one thing and another couldn't resist the lure of Tesco and a bottle of red :mad: Feeling the effects now and have wasted the whole morning when I really can't afford to. Means I'll be working tonight now aswell

ISOM...hugs too I know just how you're feeling.

BHB...Glad things went ok yesterday good luck with the ebaying over the weekend.

Everyone else, hope you are all doing ok and enjoying the weekend

Afternoon all,

Sorry to hear you've had a blip Jo. It was enought to drive anyone to it I should think.

I think we should have a new rule ..... If you have ONE blip you ignore it, if you have two blips on two consecutive days you have to buy us all a round.

I HAVE BEEN TO THE PUB :eek: :eek: :eek:

My boys came round and said come on we are off to the pub. I had little choice - they are both 6' 4" and I'm only 5' 10" ! Its the eldest ones wedding in a couple of months and I was really dreading going to the wedding becuase of the drink.
They both had a couple of pints today and I just had an orange juice and lemonade AND NO CRAVING WHATSOEVER TODAY!!!!
They were really great about me not drinking, took the mickey a bit but in a light hearted way.I really enjoyed it and really didn't feel the need for a drink today so am really pleased with myself. I am now looking forward to the wedding, though not to seeing the ex wife :eek:

Why did the image of an ageing hippo crossed with a fish come into my mind then



Adam Ant? :eek: ...... Suzi Quatro :smileyhea

Best Wishes
BHB Aged 43 and 3/4

OMG BHB you're amazing! Well done watching your boys drink and you drinking an OJ :T :T :T

This is good for you, good practice for the wedding rather than panicking right up to the occasion, at least you now know it's possible and you can still enjoy yourself

Right so I'd better not cave in again tonight, not sure I can afford a round of OJs for everyone
