Hi all ,
Myself & the hubby regularly drink wine 5 times a week ( the other 2 nights I'm at work ) . I really enjoy drinking wine , I find it relaxing & something to look forward to for the evening. However, lately I'm feeling so sluggish the next day , I have no energy & often lie in bed until midday. I can't remember what we watched on tv the evening before & don't remember going to bed . I have permanent headaches , my face has started to break out & look red & blotchy .
So, yesterday we took the plunge to cut back . I don't want to give up but definitely know I need to cut back . We've decided to drink only at weekends & also reduce the amount of wine we have. When my husband came in from work at 7pm we both could have easily poured a glass , especially with our dinner . That initial hour was difficult. However, we had iced water & following dinner I had a long bath . I then sipped tonic water with sliced lemon & watched a drama .
I had real trouble getting to sleep & my sleep was broken . However, this morning I have no headache & I remember all of the previous evening !
I'm going to keep updating on here as a sort of diary for myself, if anyone can offer advice/ support please feel free to comment 😊
