anybody else find it impossible to stop drinking whilst ttc?

[greedyforbabies]

this cycle i am going to try REALLY hard to stop drinking every night. last night was my first alcohol free night since sept (when i truly thought i was pg!). i know that sounds shocking, but i love a glass of wine and i never want to stop drinking in the 2ww cos its like tempting fate.
anyone else as bad as me? please say yes someone!

I'm a lush and have 2 parties to attend this weekend and AF due next week. Bloody dreading it. I'm gonna try so hard but know I'll be on my knees crying for a taxi 2am tomorrow. Shameful eh?

Greedy, I hope you didn't think I was being all judgemental!!

guess i will be stopping drinking for the next 8 months or so now then! shit thats going to be hard! also regretting my whole bottle the other night! oh well, guess theres no point in worrying!

This is slightly off the subject - but do the French have guideline weekly limits like we do? And is a small glass of wine 1 unit or 2 units?

That's really freaky, I was wondering about the french the other day. Cos they drink wine with every meal don't they...?

Yes, and overall I think they're healthier than we are. They don't tend to binge drink, though. But then neither do I. Never get drunk, but I do love my wine, and sometimes wonder if I should be worried about the amount I drink ...

I don't actually drink, but I don't think that a couple of glasses here and there can do any real harm. it is most definitely the binge drinking that is detrimental.

not trying to scare anyone!! just thought it was interesting.

Greedy: when I was ttc I read in a couple of places that women who drink moderately (which for the purposes of that article was 8 units a week) are statistically likely to conceive more quickly than women who are teetotal.

That's only true for first baby's though. The teetotallers win out for second/third conceptions.

I had about 10 units a week when TTC, and found it very difficult to stick to (especially as we were trying for 18 months).

Good luck!
