    just to be honest....

    k everyone...drum roll...

    I have to decided to moderate by drinking at weekends and staying af during the week. My abstaining is beginning to effect my relationship in a negative way.

    When I joined mwo my intention was keep my drinking to the weekends so that is what I now intend to do.

    I only telling you all now in an attempt to be honest with you all about where my head is now in regards to my alcohol consumption.

    Thanks for always been here for me and I hope you will all continue to be .

      Limers, it is not often that you see someone say their relationship has been impacted negatively by abstaining. Just curious as to the driver behind that (sorry if I missed it in an earlier thread) and good luck in attaining your goals.

            limers,

            I really respect your honesty and your post! It takes a lot of courage to do that. My goal coming here has been to mod, too, and lately I find myself more AL. I don't know, it's such a weird journey.

            Take care, good luck with your new goal,

                  We have become pretty close very quickly and I feel I know you quite well, we have spoken about this on numerous occasions and I know it is not something that you decided on a whim....you have thought about this a lot and have toyed with the idea for a while.

                  When I joined MWO, we were very similar in our worry about our nightly drinking, albeit, it was not a huge amount but all the same you, like me were worried about the continuity of it all, and wanted to end the daily habit and restrict drinking to the weekends only....

                  I think you have to be one of the most honest people I know, you have made a decision and I will support you 100% and the reason for that is....because I honestly think that you can make this work....

                  You have so many friends here and people who want you to do well.....you have given this much thought and deliberation and I am beside you all the way.....

                  Thanks for being so honest with us all and the very very best of luck...

                  Love

                    ((((Limers))))

                    I'm going to talk to my hubby tonite about us doing that. We can't seem to go AF for very long now (we were up to 34 days) but maybe if we can limit it to the weekends we can stay AF during the week. I'm tired of being tired every morning. I can't believe my jaw hasn't broken from all the yawning I've been doing...heck I just yawned as I typed that! :H

                          hi limers i am hoping to moderate after my 30 days AF, did you do 30 days? do you mind me asking how much you intend to drink at weekend? my plan for the new year is: mon = AF, tues = AF, weds i bottle only shared with hubby ( he enjoys wine with food only so we will have a nice mid week dinner and catch up) thursday = AF, friday one bottle just for me, saturday = one bottle just for me (he likes red i like white) and then one bottle between us with sunday lunch. i know thats 3 bottles a week but its better then 7+!!!! i dont know if i will achieve this but i do know my hubby loves to cook and enjoys picking a nice wine for us to have with it, he does not have a problem with it as can just enjoy one glass and put the rest away, he doesnt kmow how much i actually get through and is v supportive of this 30 days AF as ive told him its in prep for christmas and too loose a few pounds but if i said i was never going to partake again it would affect our personal life and he has such a passion for fine wine and belongs to a wine club etc etc and yet can leave a glass unfinished if he gets occupied elsewhere - whats that about?? please let me know if your weekend only drinking works and how much you get through, i have tried for so many years saying "wine is for weekends" but i used to leave just a bit in the 2nd bottle on sunday to give me an excuse to drink and buy more monday and so it went on, i would love to be able to moderate and am going to take ODAT for 30 days and then try, what will you do if you find yourself drinking in the week again? how do we control something that controls some of us and not others????

                              I truly wish both of you luck in making it work. God know I tried and tried to find ways to control and enjoy my drinking and couldn't do it but that's the great thing about being individuals - we're all different.
