Welcome Teapot! On day 9 here and boots are firmly tied for the weekend ! Got a few things planned that involve drinking coffee ! Hubby has been drinking a few beers while watching the football but Ive not been tempted. I've been going to the gym daily and it is really helping me to get motivated. Why would I want to poison my body after a workout? Keep strong and have a great AF weekend everyone. x

Thank you all for your welcome, it is indeed great to know there are kindered spirits , ( as in soul, not vodka) out there. :lol:.
Well day five, and I feel fine. My hubby decided last night after dinner to have a rum and coke...... I got him ice, and left it at that. We are going out to a festival event tomorrow night, but I will be the designated driver, so will avoid drinking that way.
It is strange, I can do that, I can go out and not drink, and am fine with that. But at home, god I embarrass myself. I sneak drinks when my hubby isn't looking. I would have more beers than he would, and as I am alone alot of the time, I just keep plugging away at it. So I suppose it is when the day is over and I am bored with nothing to do Is my most time for wanting a drink. If I can get a month or more AF, them perhaps I will be safe enough to be able to have a drink once in a while and set myself limits. One limit I am imposing right now is to never drink alone again. I think that was leading to a dangerous habit. Thanks for listening.
Oh and by the way I am in Ireland, I have four kids, two grown, two little ones, and a fantastic hubby who is great fun, but he works , and works, and works, and bloody works.

Hey Teapot, meet your sister! I too am from Ireland, I have 4 kids, 2 grown up and 2 much younger and a hubs who is fantastic but works 70 hour weeks - honestly!!!
Well done on Day 5, its a brilliant start, in my opinion the hardest days.
I am an out and out alcoholic so will never be able to drink safely again, give it the month as you say and see how you feel then, you mightn't even want a drink you will feel so good. When I cocked up in May after 4 months of no booze was the sorriest day for me - I regret it still!!
Anyway, good luck and keep in touch!!

Wow Molly, great to see ya.......... nice to have another paddy about the place. Well done you for giving up, I admire you as I know that the road to realising that your an out and out alcaholic is a hard one to follow. My hubby has just called around, and he decided he would sit in the back garden and have a cold bulmers, ( god its lovely when your hot and bothered) asked me would I like one, I said no and had a black coffee. I didn't tell him I am not going to drink for a month, I want him to see that I haven't, ( that probably sounds stupid).
I find myself checking this forum alot, hope I don't get addicted , :lol:

Well fellow Paddy! Hope you had a good day, I lurked around the site a lot at the beginning without posting, I found it helped me a lot. I also didn't tell anyone (except my husband cos he rumbled me!!!) at the beginning, I suppose I was afraid I would fail and feel foolish on top of everything else, but now most people in my life just sort of accept that I 'don't drink' without any big explanations or anything so that is good. Did your husband not get wet in the back garden? its been pissing rain most of the day where I am!!
