I meant the others on here that arent alcoholics, I have no intention in dabbling!

Just a minor update for you kind people that have been following my post, I've just attended my first online AA meeting, and now feel confident enpugh to take the next step on my journey and go to a physical meeting tomorrow, bit nervous but guess everyone there is in the same boat, or has been...

Huh?

Yes, imagine the problems marking them. Both CM as well....

I think it's a positive, it's good to hear if people can manage their intake without going too far with it 😊 that's also an achievement in my eyes!

Thankfully I forgot it was an early kickoff, thus preserving my streak!

Yeah but if your drinking is centred around events and stuff thats more healthy and not really a problem, so you seem in good control of it 😊

App says £200 and over 10000 calories saved OMG Edit: That's just this week lol

Keeping track of the calories saved/money saved is an extra motivation! Back to gym on sunday.

Got the little lad over for 2 nights now so thats 2 more nights I'll stay off. Getting the odd craving bit not too severe. Seem to be sweating a lot less, another positive!

For what it's worth reddy, I wasn't offended, no need to delete anything as far as I am concerned 👍🏻👍🏻

It's a good start MD... Maybe if you can do 2 nights you can do 3 😊 Unfortunately despite being off, the nature of my work means I cant take any form of substances though!

Thanks for the support everyone.

Noticed my face looks less puffy as before I had alcohol bloat every...

Fair play for the comedy sketch, i did title the post about "dry january" but it was more about recovering from crippling alcoholism and seeing if others had been through the same thing 😊 Didnt want it to seem like an AA introduction in the thread title is all

FWIW my favourite soft beverage is with sucralose not aspartame. IDK if thats as bad 🤷🏼‍♂️

Also Marvin wasn't THAT bad, he wasn't spectacular but we got a lot of appearances out of him. He's more 'meh' than failure, for me

A waste is right. 17 quid a day it was costing me.

Thanks LF 👍🏻👍🏻- I did go cold turkey but mostly symptomless apart from insomnia, vivid dreams and peeing a lot. I've made it a week so I think the risk of serious physical symptoms is past... I'm in constant contact with the folks on the AA discord who are monitoring my progress and goving sound...

The pub wasn't my problem, it was drinking at home in front of the tv 😅😅

I've not put a time limit on it cause I know if I do I'll just end up going back to damaging levels. Just doing one day at a time for as long as I possibly can
