The giving up/cutting down alcohol support thread!

I sound like I'm making excuses now, but it's actually physically impossible to get to my house without going past the offy!

Well, I have missed motorway junctions before now 'cos I've been too busy singing to choons. Could try that (but you have to sing REAALLY REALLY loudly)

Evening All,

Just popped in to say good luck with the tablets Jo.

I'm still hanging on in there, but Mrs BHB has given up the race as she is sitting reading over my shoulder with a glass of red wine in her hand
It smells lovely so have had to put emergency plans into action and have orange and fizzy water, a Topic and a bag on monster munch to see me through until dinner time in about an hour . Why am I not 15 stone instead of 10 stone?? We have a full roast beef dinner tonight too :cool:

Anyway keep climbing and staying on the that wagon for as long as possible everyone and if you fall off, just cling on until you can pull yourself back on.
If you can't pull yourself back on - we will come and give you a leg up!

Best Wishes for a relaxing evening
BHB

Ooops!

When in a bad moment, do something else...I drank loads of coffee when I stopped on the drink....

You get to occupy the high ground or at least share it when you're sober and you remember stuff and can diffuse arguments before they fester.....

Since my D-day, rows are nothing like as bad as they were - you can see the temperatures rising better and take action before the explosion...

I am fortunate that Mrs B didn't used to drink much anyway but she stopped completely when I did...I didn't really ask her to, it just helped and because of the damage it could do, I think she wanted to help.

In some ways, our rows are better then before because they're more productive..stuff comes out rather than being buried...it's phrased better and less antagonistic....

Thanks Bis, you are of course right, I was hot and bothered & crabby anyway & it was straw camels back time, which will happen again, i am quite volatile (AND NO IT'S NOT MY HORMONES) next time I must have a diet coke first or something. Can't drink loads of coffee get palpitations! Anyways we are OK now he can't say sorry but turned up today unexpectedly & mowed both lawns (I have lge garden) & other stuff which I know is his way.....all of which is irrelevant I can't start a "realationships" thread under DFW!!:rotfl:
but must curb habit of reaching for bottle (teeth still sore) 1st.

for anyone who wants to watch a hard-hitting film about alcohol....it's not pleasant but striking. I first watched it and shrugged and thought I don't drink too much....I changed my mind a little bit later.

My PC doesn't want to play this (really, it's not a mind meld issue avoidance thing) but this thing is steam-driven has anyone else had a problem?
