Hi everyone,
just a quicky, as the bishop said to the actress!

Contracts exchanged ! moving date 27th July, so ages to pack all our rubbish up.

Waves, hope your poor leg gets better soon.

Moderating OK, still no AF though.

take care

Glad you managed the contracts Pebbles, that sounded really complicated. Moving is just so much fun!

Thank you Louise, yes, it's a nightmare! Never again...and we haven't even got round to selling the one we live in yet, we've got that joy to come.

Hi,

I've posted here before but not much. It seems I can do all right during the week, moderating or even abstaining hasn't been a problem. It's the weekends that still do me in, especially Sunday at the beach. Still haven't given up hope yet.

Walter, good thing you haven't given up hope.

Maybe you need a plan for the beach, Do you start drinking early ? is it a long day ? I don't know ? Do you have to go to the beach ? Could you do something else on a sunday?

How much of the programme are you following? are there any more steps you could include? more topa ? more hypno ? more supps ?

Thought last week was horrid. This week more horrid. However, in the scheme of things and in light of Beth's experience this week I can't really complain.
Leg is almost back to normal now but still on anti-biotics so no alc. this weekend.

Hope you are all moderating well. :l

Hi everyone

A quiet Saturday night in Melbourne.

Hope your week hasn't been too horrid Waves and that the one coming up isn't as bad as anticipated. Now Walter, I'm with Pebbles, stay AWAY from that beach!! I can't go to the beach (apart from anything else, I think it's about to snow.) But it's nice to have a 'chap' here.

Moderating pretty well down here. Had a glass of chardie last night with a pre-theatre supper - took my daughter to see "Othello", which she'll be studying next year, a most interesting production. Tonight enjoyed one yummy glass of red with dinner. And that's my quota for the week.

It's interesting that you're increasing y our topa dose Pebbles, because I'm decreasing mine - only hope I'm doing the right thing. My thinking has been that since I NEVER want to drink before evening anyway the morning dose is pretty wasted on me and I may as well concentrate on a late afternoon dose and then phase that out over time. Well, so far so good and I haven't noticed any difference since cutting my dose from 150mg , to 100mg and then to 50mg a few days ago (one daily dose only.) It will be interesting to see if I start to want to drink more or more often. If so I guess I can increase the dosage again but I am hoping that the time on topa has really just bought some time to allow some different habits to form.

So finger, toes and eyes crossed...

I'll also be really interested to hear how you go on the higher dose Pebbles. I may yet be joining you. Sometimes I do feel like a prize guinea pig (hey there's a great idea for an avatar......)

Hi all,
Thinking about Walter on the beach today. Be strong, Walter.

Garden Girl, with the mist, rain, cold and flooding there has been this week I don't think we'll be going to the beach.

Robin, am truly missing the vulture robin avatar now. That sweet little birdie is just too sugary... but a guinea-pig???????

Pebbles, I think lots of people are tired on topa but remember how much you have accomplished in the last week- you are bound to be tired after akk that chasing about to get the contracts exchanged.

Louise, vacation time sounds wonderful. SIGH!

Ducky, sounds like you have been successful. Well done.

Zin, Hope you have a good weekend--but also a successful one.

Hope everyone else is moderating well. I am still AF but almost finished anti-biotics.

Well, leg is back to normal. Hooray. Managed to go a run yesterday. Spent the rest of the day with my 16 month old beautiful grand-daughter...so I am exhausted today!
love Waves

Morning everyone,
sound like everyone is doing good, Robin, if you change your avatar again to a prize guinea pig, we'll have to change your name and we'll never know who you are! PGP! Anyway, is that true, does the morning dose affect morning/lunch drinking and afternoon dose affect evening drinking ? cos I'm the same, I don't drink before 6.00, so maybe instead of increasing my overall dose I could just increase the afternoon dose or leave it a bit later....mmmm I'll think about it.

The increase has helped, I heard myself say last night "no thanks, no more for me, I don't want to feel rotten tomorrow"....my partner and his sister (who was gagging for another bottle I may add) nearly fell off their chairs.

Mind you, the fact that we had to get up at 5.00am, that's 5.00AM !!!! to drop them all off to do the London to Brighton Bike Ride was a motivating factor. Imagine that with a hangover, no thanks!

Have a lovely Fathers Day everyone
take care

So excited:yay:
Just thought I'd have another look at the drinktracker as they've been trying to fix my errors for me.

And I can do it :wave:

Hey Pebbles, glad you were able to mod last night. I cannot imagine getting up that early and biking with a HO.

I have a houseful coming today. Lots of cooking to finish up, then cleaning. I am hoping to have a w/e without company next week for a change. I need to relax!

Hope everyone has a great day.
