The giving up/cutting down alcohol support thread!

Morning all.

Some how I made it through the evening unscathed:D . I think what helped was realising it would be a problem in advance and having enough time to think about diversionary tactics and why I really didn't want to have that drink. Previously I would have just stumbled right in to it, the craving would have struck and, well, you all know the rest.......

I'm chuffed today as I've hit double figures, day 10, and I got on the scales and had lost a pound:T !!!! So I can see today what I couldn't see at points last night, it was all worth it:D .

Anyway, lots of well dones today I see, Jo, Lurkio and Molly all doing really well and shoppy as well I think (sorry if I've missed people, I know I will have, shouldn't do lists really).

Have a great day all, today I'm really pleased to be sober:A .

Love Ali x.

Ever seen the film Rocky BHB? (The original one :rolleyes: ) He keeps getting whacked by Apollo Creed, but something in him just makes him get up and keep going, giving as good as he gets, no matter what is thrown at him.........



Think on......

Regroup and come back... :T :T :T

ETA : Ali - :T :T :T :T :T Really well done!!!!!!

Lurky, I'm presuming as you're singing the Boo Radleys at some unearthly hour you abstained last night? If so, well done

Ali, you're doing great, how did you do last night?

YM, what's 'hi' all about, how you doing?

What a horrible night I had last night, I got it into my head that I'd drink. I decided that I was gonna say to OH that I was drinking that evening, we were gonna watch a film and have a nice dinner so thought I'd have a can or 2. I had decided to tell him I was having 2 but I was gonna buy 4 :rolleyes:

I told him and he said I couldn't, told me that I obviously had a problem if I've only lasted 17 days, he reminded me that I'd told him I was never gonna do it again and I'm caving already etc etc.... I got quite irritated and aggressive and just wanted to run over the shop and pour a can down my neck. He then said, go on then, get beer and I'll just sit here and watch you drink all night. I was well p1ssed off....irritated cos I knew I couldn't do it now cos he'd be making comments.

I managed to get through the evening okay'ish and then laid in bed and was so grateful that I didn't drink. I imagined how worried I'd be if it was the other way round and he had decided 'just to have 2' and I would've said the same stuff to him.

God, what am I going to do for the rest of my life :eek:
