The giving up/cutting down alcohol support thread!

Polaroid, listen to eselt, she always knows the right things to say! Everyone is charged with alcohol tonight (well a lot of people anyway) and that causes so much grief.

You know we are all here to chat to if you need it

Counting the hours now, scary.... but kinda exciting, like a new me :D

Hi all- Polaroid and Jo, isnt it great you haven't gotta go and sort someone elses crap out? Isnt it great our kids are upstairs in no danger sleeping away the night? Isn't it great we can leap up and make them breakfast tommorrow and not be irritated when they don't eat their marmite toast? You guys are great you know, I thank god I found this thread a year ago- when I think about my busy morning, being hassled by kids tommorrow, and doing it and loving it I'll feel like I'm hugging you all, it makes me realise how lucky I am- thanks everyone, and I really really mean that. Happy new year (hugs)

How many you up for GP??

I'm up for as many AF days as possible. I really do feel tired of drinking and (touchwood) I'm not missing it at all (yet). I don't want to set myself a target because then I might feel obliged to have 'just a quick drink to celebrate' when I hit that target, which will lead to me waking up on the kitchen floor the next day with a mouth like the cats litter tray.

Morning miamoo and everyone else :wave:

I'm not scared at the moment, just relieved, I feel I've finally moved on to a new chapter, the old one dragged and dragged and at times I could see no end but now I'm here, I feel positive and excited and can not let myself, my family or you guys down.

This all sounds great by the way, but I can't say how I'm going to feel at around 3.30pm this arvo :undecided

How's everyone else today?
