Time for more discipline!

Right!...... My social life and/or confidence has improved a bit more. This is gud......But- as many agreed a few weeks ago in Retford's thread- most social occasions are centred around alcohol.

Needless to say, for the last few weeks I've been gettin fcukin ammered with some very nice peeps that ave been, shall we say, facilitating my good moods. lol..........

I need to curb this somewot......Need more balance....... I've a nutritionist that has put me on wheat and dairy-free diet and suggests I have a good routine in terms of wot I eat, when I eat, when I go to bed etc etc........ This always makes me feel a bit better........Errr.......till the weekend when this demon-drinker is unearthed and I proceed to get absolutely sh1t-faced.

.......It needs to stop, but can I resist the temptation of this cultural past-time?......We'll see come next Friday........

I wanna strive for more spiritual and long-term goals now...... I wanna get into learning to drive agen.....Wanna do a 'proper' teachin course (focus on career stuff agen)........ Want friends that respect my sensitive soul........Mmmm

So, fingers crossed......

PS: A question: How disciplined are u?

I too gave up the demon drink over 3 years ago. Before then I would go out with a view to getting drunk and all the chat/socialising was a side issue to that. Now that I don't drink anymore I look forward to getting more out of an evening, absorb more of the experience and don't feel sh*t in the morning. I spent years looking for my self esteem in the bottom of a glass.

Do you mind me asking what the nutritionist put you on this diet for? I know alternative therapists take into account the whole person "holistic approach". Was it for anxiety or other probs?

In the past I went on a wheat free diet because I was getting a lot of stomach pain, I lost quite a lot of weight on it, its surprising how much food has wheat in!!

I am the total opposite - I didn't have my first alcoholic drink until I was 20 because my SA gave me a fear of being out of control, and the distrust of people I had (from years of bullying, the cause of the SA) left me afraid that I wouldn't know when I was getting drunk and then I would be mistreated in some wat. Its only since the SA has got better than I've felt like I am in control enough to be able to have a drink. I'm still a control freak though.
