The giving up/cutting down alcohol support thread!

Hey Molly, chill...tea and toast is the way:D . We can't have you falling off the wagon, we all need to be up there with you!

Get that kettle on, tea and toast made and put your feet up and remember how well you've done and how much better you'll feel tonight and in the morning.

I'll be sending positive vibes across to you.. just off now for quick tv and then bath. I'll look in before I get in the bubbles (foam, not alcohol, of course!).

Thanks Ali.
That made me smile.
Have just made the tea and toast:D and am calming down a bit now.I will be ok.(Had words with an insignificant little person at work....why should I spoil it all because of her)

I dont want to fall off the wagon now as its only a few days to my six month mark.
Thanks for the positive vibes...enjoy your bubbles.
Love Mollypollyxxxx

:T Well done Molly, definitely not worth letting someone else's issues spoil what you've achieved. Bath's almost ready so I'm jumping in, hope the t and t were good and have a great, sober sleep. See you tomorrow,

Well done to everyone else doing so well

mollypolly

Morning all.
Thanks Jo, Eselt and Alisong for your support.
I could really have caved in last night and would have done if I couldnt have come on hear and posted.
This thread just gives great support.Makes me think about what I am doing...also I feel like I know everyone on here and would be letting you all down ..besides myself..if I had to tell you I had lost the plot.
Thanks for being here everybody.
Good luck to everyone struggling.
Love Mollypollyxxxx

Morning everyone.

Well done Mollypolly on tea and toasting instead of sloshing and slurping - those triggers like stress or frustration are sooo strong.
And Alisong, 60 days is to be CELEBRATED, two months, a sixth of a year well done.

Hi lilith and welcome. £600 is a lot to spend on nothing, isn't it? Would it be a good incentive to have a pot where you can physically put the money when you choose not to have a drink? or make a deal to drink half your usual amount (think of it in terms of alcohol rather than money as eselt says - you may end up drinking more if youstay in)

Dirtysexymonkey, not drinking since May is a real acheivement, particularly if you've been living the student life. Why not go out clubbing and not drink? Do you find that difficult (or is it just boring been surrounded by drunks when you are sober?). if it's peer pressure you could always just declare yourself teetotal - would certainly be a unique selling point amongst the average student population.

Jack, welcome, please post again - how are you getting on?


I am feeling a little unwell actually - a headache and a little sick (not through booze though!). Apparently there are a number of viruses going around - hope it's that.
