I'm up for doing this one

Great, thanks for the recommendation - just downloaded it!

I'm just starting out on IF (16/8) and finding it works quite well for me so far. I wondered if people had any recommendations for good articles or apps for it?

it's just called Drink Less on the app store :)

Hello all, hope you’re all getting there - nearly the end of the month woo! Happy to report I’m still going strong after last Fridays slip up but glad I popped in today as have been very busy this week and even texted my husband saying I would love to have a drink tomorrow night but coming on here has helped strengthen my…

Not been on for a few days and I’m sad to say I had alcohol on Friday night :s really disappointed but one good thing is I had s lot less than I would normally have had (2 glasses of Prosecco). The first issue was I won a hamper in work that included 2 bottles of vodka and a bottle of Prosecco. The second was my OH had…

Hi @whitpauly thank you for the supportive words. The app is called Drink Less 😄

I think the “unsupportive husband” etc comments are just indicative of who posts regularly. I’m sure there are plenty of unsupportive wives! At the end of the day this thread is for support and somewhere to discuss the journey regarding cutting back on alcohol and sometimes that might come know the form of dealing with…

Got through my first AF weekend, and really didn’t miss the wine at all! Should say “our” weekend as DH stayed off the alcohol with me. We even went to the pub and had soft drinks!

@Womona lots of hugs but draw a line under it and learn whatever you need to from it. Another tip is have a wine with soda water in it, that way you can have a couple of glasses but not a lot of actual wine!

Ooh what’s the Zero Arizona? Is it available in the UK? I feel like I need to try it!

It’s overtaken diet irn bru as my fave fizzy juice <3

Awesome work @ChrysalisCove it’s a shame it needs done in the first place but good job there are people like you willing to put the time in to help <3

Just keep walking... 7/1/19 11894 8/1/19 18690 9/1/19 16690 10/1/19 11652

OH and I have got our Friday night tipples sorted. Really lovely how supportive he is being, absolutely no question about whether to buy wine or not (as we usually would on a Friday) instead we headed to the gym and got our favourite soda on the way home!

Hey @lporter229 it is an app, it’s called Drink Less and much like this thread is more for monitoring/cutting back your alcohol intake than complete abstinence (although of course could work well for that too. I’m really liking it!

Hey @htimpaired it’s called Drink Less

Definitely starting to feel like I’m getting back in the swing of it, tonight’s run was the first one I’ve enjoyed this week :D 2.2 / 25km 8/1/19 (2.2km/20 mins/treadmill) 4.45 / 25km 10/1/19 (2.25km/20 mins/treadmill) 6.78 / 25km 11/1/19 (2.33km/20 mins/treadmill)

The gentle sound of my OH snoring while I lie in bed wide awake

Day 5 done and done here. Thursday can be a bit tricky here due to the nearly-the-weekend vibes but he’s being very supportive! Tomorrow will be the real test though :D Also had a killer headache all day yesterday and after seeing an earlier post from someone about whether anyone had noticed it as a symptom i wonder if it…

Back at the gym today, another couple of km down (also adding in the fractions of a km from the other day as, well, every little counts) progress: 2.2 / 25km 8/1/19 (2.2km/20 mins/treadmill) 4.45 / 25km 10/1/19 (2.25km/20 mins/treadmill)

Ended pretty well yesterday, today has been shocking as I’ve been laid low with a bug and been in bed all morning - currently sitting at 913 steps for the ENTIRE DAY so far **noooo** will have to try and get out for a walk this evening. Hope everyone is having a steppy good day! 7/1/19 11894 8/1/19 18690 9/1/19 16690

I mean there is plenty of space because there is definitely no one under there! also, yes :)

I hear you!

Only because I have crossed some sort of desk/picture boundary and I don't want to make her feel uncomfortable, I will say no. But she is adorable. But not under my desk. promise.

well now we NEED to know

yeah that was weird wasn't it...

just a li'l one?
