I LOVE that people are posting - it quite warms the cockles of my heart! I also love that we are being upfront about things bothering us !! THIS is what this thread is for ! Thank you Houtx and BK and Dizzy - thank you !! We are listening to each other and being there for us all! Gives me such a warm fuzzy feeling ..... LOL
BK - of course we picked up where we left off - why not ? I like when folk come back .... and of course, I am like the old furniture - still here !
I understand about wanting to stick to 2 or 3 drinks. I used to worry about my TWO a night. I am now trying to keep it to 3 or 4 a night ! Then I will try and go down from there. I know that Nal can take some time to work so stick with it eh? And yes, if you see any progress re not blacking out or having hangovers - that is wonderful - baby steps ! I also think that by trying not to drink and by saying that you are scared you might fail - you are setting yourself up for failure ! What do you drink? Can you just get enough in so that you ONLY have a certain amount - that is what I am doing - and telling hubs and daughter NOT to buy me any if I ask them to - and I will not go out once I have had more than two - so once I have had what I have in house, I am finished with AL for the night. I really find that is a good way of doing it. OR if I fancy another Guinness then I will start on the Ben & jerrys' - they do a wonderful one called New York Super Fudge Chunk and once I have had that I don't want any more Guinness.
I agree with what you said to Dizzy - and hope that she agrees and will either Pm or post - I so know how she is feeling - it is really hard being so far from 'home' !! Even though I have been in USA for 30 years, I suppose I still think of UK as home !
I also liked what you said to Houtx - SO true ! My daughter is overweight and I wonder if she does the same thing. Although from what Houtx has said she isn't really overweight - just weighs more than she would like to.
Well, I am home from work early 'cos I was finished with my stuff - so now have the weekend. have all sorts of things planned and am looking forward to it.
Love and hugs to all, love, sun XXXX
P.S. If anyone has any great ideas about how to get my dogs to STOP eating poop, I would love to hear them! I have tried tablets that make poop taste bad (which cracks me up ), and tried putting hot sauce on it - they liked that !!!! It isn't always easy to pick it up the minute they go - any ideas gratefully accepted !!!!
