3 weeks

Thank you I will have a look at it.

 

Thank you guess its ice cream time

 

yes that sound safe enough

.dont be to hard on your self

its not surprising that we see drink as a way to relax 

these days ,every single soap and other programmes say lets do a bottle see you in a the pub , even my 24 yr old son has commented on it .

any slight problem they drinking there way thru bottles of wine .

its wrong showing drinking in this way, as we become complacent about it ,and its not rigth  drink isent something to be taken lightly , its very easy to get hooked . 

at least you are doing something positive and you can beat it and  win . i did . 

Good for you cutting down, I tried that and before I knew it it as back to 1.5 liter of wine for me.

But like you said what works for one might not for another 

Keep trying

Oh god this is just my first weekend and I'm finding the thinking about it harder than the drinking bit if that makes sense ....

Anyway I'm focused at the moment and happy that for the first time I'm doing what I want, like going to bed sober waking up feeling better about myself and looking forward to feeling healthier ❤️

Find this forum fabulous I have to say xxx

keep going hun ,any great journey starts with just one step .

and you have already started that journey .forward gogogo

stay strong Sue

Ive cut down by half the last week or so to avoid withdrawal . Must say I feel very positive everytime I wake up . The first thing I think of before I get out of bed is ....how much did I have ? Tomorrow it will be under a bottle mixed with lemonade

whatever feels right for you , go for it and stay positive

goodnight x

We'll done you 👍

Thank you

Hi hon well done for what youve achieved so far. I haven't had a drink for 13 years but there are still days I crav a drink especially in the summer. But I know I could never drink normally and I enjoy   waking up in the morning with a clear head and no horrible anxiety more! It's hard but it's worth it!!

Thanks for the encouragement Jo Thats a real acheivement 13 years !!! Can I ask you how old you are now ? I'm 43 and have struggled for years . Its been difficult bringing up two kids on my own with various problems and traumas to deal with . I'm so focussed and have worked very hard in my new career and I'm hoping this will keep me steady .

Well done to you ! I agree with that wonderful fresh morning feeling . Also being able to eat a little more without worrying about the weight is great

take care

Hi rainbow I'm 48 and I was very bad for many many years. The drink basically turned against me and I felt awful anxiety the next day. I still wish I could be "normal" but my life is so much happier sober. So will yours be!!😀

Yes !! I can identify with that Jo . The anxiety has hit me badly during the last year or so . I have only had one glass and a half of wine tonight mixed and now have just had a green tea . I dont think there is normal I think you are very honest ! Not many people are deep down.  Im off to bed to read and will wake up feeling bright

Thank you again

I'm very open about my past and so many of my friends have come to me saying they're worried they have a drink problem. There's a lot of people out there suffering and worrying, people that you would never think. Xx
