[consequential]

it is hard to cut down .im trying myself and i have seen what it does to ppl .one thing i will say is dont drink during the day thats the worst thing to do ever
try and leave it till the night time to have a tipple at least
and as i was saying in the other thread ,try leaving it till the weekend and maybe wednesday night and leaving the other nights free
it can be done ,try watching dvds or going to the cinema or just going for a walk .
if you drive try leaving it till late in the evening that u get your shopping and that so you just cant drink at all ,this does work especially if you want to eat
if you like reading ,nd i have done this too ,drinking and reading dont mix !!
when u get caught up in a book u dont feel the need to be swigging on something
being kept busy is important i know work was quiet for me and thats why i starting drinking i was depressed ,is there a reason that ur drinking so much ,can u get to the core of this issue and try and resolve it
thats the main thing really to be honest from my point of view theres always a reason for someone drinking and getting to the base of this is important
think about it seriously and ask yourself why do you feel the need to buy alcohol and to numb yourself
life can be very hard for the most part and we ned support and its not often we get support
i know that and its very tough to cut down and especially to come out and write you rown thread and admit you have a problem so well done and your on the road to recovery now
take each day as it comes and know that ur not alone ,we are all struggling and we will be there for each other and try and help one another becos its not easy but it is worth it to be sober for a week becos you feel so good at the end of it i swear
i hope this helps cos i know how u feel
sorry i didnt want to make this sounding like about me me me but im just trying to say ur not alone and i empathise if im making any sense
