Brenn47, i really feel for you.

I went without any booze for almost two months before christmas then in new year and Feb i fell off and again now since i have a week hols from work.

The i can have one more drink if i don't go off the rails mentality is so common, infact i have started drinking vodka now so i'm not peeing so much (as if its better).

Cheers, Things are going well.

Word of warning khemist, one of the worst things I've done in my life was swapping wine for spirits, that's when I started getting proper sick.

Brenn , you really don't get it. I wish you all the best but I fear for you I really do.

Brenn47 · 16 Feb 2017 at 21:53

What do you mean, this is day #10 and things are going well.

Hope day 11 is going well too?

Things are going well apart from this damn pain in my chest. Lets just hope the memory of how bad it can get doesn't fade and I have a *one last time* drink!

Why do you want to give up? How much are you drinking?

Where do i start! Long story

Do you want to give up, if I can do it and you've seen how bad I was, you probably can!

How you doing? Still going well?

Brenn47 · 19 Feb 2017 at 12:22

Alright, day number 14 I think. Haven't as much given booze a second thought, sleeping OK which is good, usually end up with days of insomnia when I give up drinking.

Day 13, but I'm glad it's going well. Keep it up.

Bloody hell, just weighed myself, I've lost a stone in 2 weeks! :eek:

But then again, pouring 1000+ calories down yer throat late at night probably wasn't the best idea.

phonemonkey · 20 Feb 2017 at 12:37

2 weeks today @Brenn47! Nice one. How you feeling?

Brenn47 · 20 Feb 2017 at 13:15

Mild headache, had it since day 1, putting it down to my brain running on blood instead of the usual Whisky. Eating healthy and spend my days trying to overdose on cups of tea, it doesn't seem to be possible.

Ooooh 2 weeks .... guess I should try and beat my 3 month record.

Brenn47 · 21 Feb 2017 at 21:38

Just bought the Allen Carr book on giving up Alcohol for my kindle... I've read a few posts in this thread that apparently it's really good.

I'll give it a go.

phonemonkey · 24 Feb 2017 at 16:16

@Brenn47 how's the book going?

Brenn47 · 25 Feb 2017 at 00:41

Bit dull to be honest, but I'm going to stick with it.

phonemonkey · 25 Feb 2017 at 23:20

Well @Brenn47, its (pretty much) next Sunday. My hat goes off to you if you've made it without a drink. Are you still going to your first meeting today?
