We'll done.

That's good to hear.


I found what helps, is the money you've not been spending, put aside, and treat yourself.

A subconscious reward.

If not - spend it on your family, either way you'll feel better about it and it'll spur you on.


Again, well done,


Keep going.

Have a good un.
 
Made a curry for me and Mrs Marshy. On this mulled punch ive got kind of addicted to. But got some fizzy elderflower stuff in fridge what mrs marshy likes. Must admit im not arsed and got a box of beer in the van to give to one of the builders i do alot for next week. I dont have a craving to go out and grab them and drink them myself.
I hope all you chaps have a good one and enjoy yourselves :birra: its a quiet one for me slobbed out on settee watch a film while attacking the cheese and crackers (y)

Nice one Hector, I hope you stay strong and get through it, day at a time. Talking things over with those in a similar situation is vital. I will always be in recovery but so long as I'm fit enough, the door is open to offer help, pass the message on that there is a life beyond alcohol. Had 3 major bouts of depression, the kind of hit by an asteroid type. Talk to people that understand, ignore the misinformed, take the help that's out there. Godspeed.
 
Been a big drinker all my life,always worked hard,but always drank to much if I was off at a weekend always spent it rough as f**k.Took me years to realise spending the weekend being ill , it's not worth it ,so for me if I'm off on a weekend now get up cook the kids pancakes,bacon sarnies etc instead lying in bed feeling like s**t I've got loads more energy and a far better person to live with,I still have a drink but know where near what I used to have and it doesn't really bother me if I don't,thought it would do.Always thought getting pissed out of my face was a reward for working hard all week,thinking a bit different these days.

Thankyou Hector. I'm very grateful to everybody who shared their experiences regard the demon drink. I know had I not stopped immediately after mrs marshy exploding in temper finding my hidden stash and an opened can and bottle of wine hidden behind the blinds which I'd forgotten about!?? I'd probably have spent Christmas on my sisters settee and now trying to find somewhere else to live plus having the stomach coughs I developed drinking and generally not being a nice person at all. I stopped for me and my health and what I was doing to my family. there are those who can handle their drink I am one of those who cant. So rather than wallow in self pity making everything worse. must admit @Squarehead has been a massive help behind the scenes and I can't thank him enough. All the best for 2017 mate and plenty of chaps on here on hand to chat to. me for one (y)
 
I got drunk twice over the festive period, xmas day and Hogmanay and you know I never enjoyed either. Think it's time for me to hit it on the head as it gives me terrible trouble with my stomach and I just don't fancy it anymore. I'm not writing this with a hangover btw.

Quite agree I've done many diff pleasures smoking , powders and potions over the years and have got fed up with all and don't see point in doing things you no longer enjoy.
So this year will be money better spent elsewhere and also at 48 am realizing I'm not as bullet proof as I thought I was.

Same here. I kept coughing but a stomach cough and often wretched but nothing came out. it got so bad my eyes would be watering and everything couldn't stop the cough/wretching. That has stopped now thank god
 
Might sound mad but you all should try it , I get high on plastering, anything I can do to make my days more enjoyable bit strange I know but even a new bucket cheers me up some days

Nothing, absolutely nothing you say can make you sound any madder lol
 
Keep it up @Marshy .......do it for all those around you.
We all have our foibles, even @Vincey , the secret is managing them. Learn how to remain in control and you will succeed. Practise saying " no"......even in the most benign situations it can be liberating......it reinforces the control you have over your actions.
"Would you like a cuppa?"...... " no"
"Can you do it for less?"........"no"
"Will you be finished for xmas?"....."no"
"Would you like to drink yourself into oblivion, ostracise those you love, and who love you, wake up feeling terrible with mounting health problems and lower self esteem?"........"no"
Keep control mate. You are the boss. Keep smiling.
All the best .
