Hi all, not had much chance to get on here the last couple of days, but will try to grab an hour later to catch up with your posts. OH & I ended up sharing a can on Wednesday,so she kindly left one for me to drink last night! No more beer in the house til we go shopping Friday & OH working tonight & tomorrow night. This makes it so much easier for me when there's no beer in the house to be honest. Going to wedding do on Saturday night which we are looking forward to. Will make sure I pace myself though so I don't end up getting hammered! Off to pick DD up from school now, all the best to you all!

Hello again! Went to wedding do last night & had a really good night. Met a workmate & his wife in pub beforehand & had a couple of pints. Was getting a bit worried as I was finishing my drinks quite a bit before him! Got to the do & I was having trouble keeping up with him in the end,mind you that was probably more to do with the chatting I was doing to people:rotfl: ! All in all it was a great night & whilst I did have a few beers & was quite tipsy, I wasn't legless or showing myself up or anything. Nipped up to my Uncle's earlier to drop a birthday card off for his Step-Son. His OH offered us a drink & I had a lager shandy, but ended up finishing the can off! Uncle then gave me another can & it's a good job I was driving or it could have turned into a session! OH bought some wine for tea & I may have a glass or I may stick to lager. Off work this week but won't use it as an excuse to get hammered. Will have a couple of cans here & there but won't go over the top. Hope everyone else is OK & so far it is still 4 NDD's in May! All the best to you all!

Why howdy do.

Hope all is well. BHB and Mollypolly you are doing just great....................where did that time go ?
I've been reading back through the posts........................it's been a quiet weekend. I think everyone is suffering with PMT............................Pre-Match tension...................he he ! :rotfl:It's all going off on Wednesday.................getting pretty nervous myself. It looks like YM and AB are already lying down in darkened rooms!!:eek:
I'm on day 24...............and not missing the stuff at all.....................thanks to Allen Carr and you.
I think I may have cracked it...................how do I know?...................well I went to see my BF on Friday ( a let's give it another go night) and he opened a bottle of wine to celebrate and poured me a glass. BF did know I'd stopped drinking......................I'd spoken at length about the reasons for stopping and that I'd read the Allen Carr book and no longer felt the need to drink. Anyhow to cut a long story short I forced this bloody glass of wine down my neck ( my favourite wine btw) and hated every sip of it. An hour later I'd finished the blasted thing and declined a refill. BF was quite amazed as I can usually guzzle a bottle of wine in that amount of time. I felt amazed to................being in an emotional situation and with my favourite bottle of wine....................and there I was just wanting to be there in the moment............no crutch to lean on.................standing on my own two feet !! :rotfl:And yes ! the big romance is back on....................although it has been a bit of a roller coaster ride....................the pepsi max sort as well.................:eek::eek::eek:
Have a lovely Monday.

:T:T:T:T Good Job Nearly There! I think we can let you off one little blip. You know you have to buy us all a round if you have two blips on two consecutive days

Mollypolly - You are doing great too! It does feel great though doesn't it? I still have the occasional craving though - I know its thirst and sugar levels more than the beer though and as long as I remember that I should be OK. Must get a copy of this book. Is it a heavy read - I'm a little dsloxic and am not a good reader. You can probably tell by my typing and spelling

Anyway Have a great day everyone

Bit chilly but the sun is out!

Best Wishes for a great day
BHB
