I'm packing my bags!

We're off on holiday this weekend....going for a nice relaxing time, not doing much for two weeks. I've decided that this is the time when I try moderating.

It will be Day 40 when we set off. I know that I want to try moderating, because that was my initial goal. I am sure that I must not/will not ever again drink to medicate bad feelings - fear, anxiety, anger etc but I want to see what it feels like to have, say, one glass of wine with a meal and leave it at that.

The funny thing is, it really does feel like an experiment....and I don't feel excited about it at all. I think I'm hoping to lay the ghost of thinking alcohol is fun - I think it's going to make me feel tired. I also want to know if I can stop at one drink. But I am expecting to come back ready to join the Abs thread.....if you'll have me :H Or to confess all and start at the beginning again. Either way - I'm so glad you're all here. :h

:beach: Have a great time Suze-have you packed the lentils?

Will be interested to hear how you get on with the mods experiment-I too am curious to know how the first drink would taste after 32 AF but wary,wary! Don't want to spoil a good thing! Anyway if you get bored you can always talk to us via an internet caff!

:wavin: byee for now

Suze - really enjoy yourself...and if that includes glass of wine with a meal....great.

I shall be really interested to hear how it goes...you and I have the same goal. One glass with a meal only and laying that ghost..... I haven't dared (124 days!!) but then again I haven't had the sort of opportunity to try! Waiting for that holiday or dinner date!!! (Don't want to drink on my own ever again!) But I know what you mean about it being an experiment! I too, would be posting first (will be!!) so am sooooh with you.

Have a lovey time though and if it's going to spoil it by worrying about it it's not worth it! Have water and try another time! If it's too much, we're here and open arms are here! Remember, YOU'RE in charge not the wine!!!

Love and hugs

Suze, have a great time? Where are you going to? If I can make it to 40 days I think I'll never touch a drop again - my best was 6 days so far. You did great. Have lots of ice cream to.

I've just got to tell you all this....I went to get the groceries for our holiday (we're staying in a rented cottage) and went to the wine aisle to get some bottles for my moderating experiment. It was so weird....I didn't feel at all excited. I bought one bottle of white and one bottle of red - spent more than usual on each one, hoping to get nice quality. Thought....that will be enough. Then went to the soft drinks bit to look at cordials, juices etc.....got REALLY excited there! I found a pomegranate/bubbly water mix...can't wait to try it. Who would have thought it, 39 days ago LOL???

When I got home I told my husband I'd got one red and one white...he said he thought two boxes should be enough...............:H
