I don't feel patronised at all mate, I'll take any advice given.Brilliant.
(more patronising advice alert). Try to absorb yourself in something, if you can. A book, or writing about how you feel in a diary, or dig out that guitar you never learned to play (don't worry, we all have one).....whatever else floats your candle.
I took delivery of a used Kindle from Fleabay the other day. Just £20 delivered, and it's pretty recent and very tidy. Half-way through the 1st book I've read in years (shameful for a so-called writer!). Just hauling my sorry arse into the 21st century! Best £20 I spent in years.
As i say, maybe try to distract yourself with something you really fancy. I know the physical side will be way harder than boredom, but even if it helps a bit, it can't be bad.
ATB, bud....a lot of people rooting for you and sending you positive vibes,
I’m not a very serious person at the best of times so this was a silly comment meant to be funny.... I’ve never done crack. ;)Just do heroin and crack now
Both my parents were alcoholics, killed my mum aged 55, Dad lasted a few years more before it did for him too... I am 54 now, I have the “thirsty” gene for sure.. After being on a functioning but ultimately boozey destructive path myself , I met my now wife who didn’t and never really had drunk.. Firstly she got me out of the habit, and helped me be strict about my “problem” .. I stopped drinking Monday, Tuesday , Wednesday and sundays,, hard at first, but once I broke the habit I enjoyed the non drink days and especially the mornings.. Had so much more energy .. Also enjoyed the days when I did have a drink , plus didn’t feel the need to have that last few large swigs before I went to bed.. I know we are all different, but breaking the habit seemed to do the trick for me.. Appologies if a bit rambling.. All the best to anyone trying to give up or drink less ,
That's heartbreaking about your parents, mate. Huge respect to you for tackling this bastard disease head-on.[/QUOT
Cheers, and you are right saying it’s a disease,it affects people from all walks of life.. My mum had a good job in the City, (I’m a Londoner as well :))Dad director of his own company .. It can just get a hold of you ... Anyway thanks for your massage :)That's heartbreaking about your parents, mate. Huge respect to you for tackling this bastard disease head-on.
No apology needed. Rambling is a good way to shed a mental weight, for me anyway.Both my parents were alcoholics, killed my mum aged 55, Dad lasted a few years more before it did for him too...

I gave you a like you needy twat.I tell you what, Cru. Being on this thread is doing wonders for my 'likes' tally!! Thanks, buddy!
One day at a time. Don't think of it as never having a drink again if that puts you off stopping. Don't be too hard on yourself either. Keep posting too.Deffo.
I'm planning to stop this weekend. I'm fucking dreading it. I'd like to post my progress whether good or bad.
Hope I don't bore you all too much.
Thanks all again.
I seem to be continously thanking people lately.

Thankyou.Have one back from me - stuff it up your arse sideways.
You won’t be doing 6 months just to start again, you will have done 6 months not drinking :). ... The habit will have been broken then you can go from there.. Good luck fellow blueThanks bud.
I just don't see the point in doing six months only to start again and end up back where I started, if that makes any sense at all.
My logic is probably a bit fuzzy at the moment though.
Like you say, one day at a time.
Thanks for the support

Go on then, I'm in a good mood.Get to base camp - then re-evaluate, mate. The journey onward will look a lot more do-able when you're fighting fit.
(That's gotta be a 3-like post....minimum?)
Ha ha the button will be worn out at this rate mate.Get to base camp - then re-evaluate, mate. The journey onward will look a lot more do-able when you're fighting fit.
