Right. Tonight I am NOT going to.....

[Bluesheep8]

Drink any alcohol. I usually don't drink anything Monday to Thursday but then drink rather a lot of wine on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I find that I wake up with the horrors in the early hours of Monday morning and can't get back to sleep. So, as tonight is kind of Sunday night, ie the end of the weekend (and I've had wine on Thurs, Fri, Sat and last night) I'm not going to drink tonight o see if it improves things. Currently got bedding in the wash so I will have a clean, fresh line-dried bed. Has anyone got any suggestions for something lovely (and alcohol free) that I can sip from my wine glass this evening? I have a co o.p and an Aldi nearby. Also, has anyone done this and seen an improvement in the 'Sunday middle of the night horrors' ?

A nice tonic with lots of fruit in. Seems to do well for a lot of people.

Thanks political I'll try that

It's so tempting, isn't it, to prolong the weekend by having a few glasses of wine on Sunday night. But it does just make Monday morning even worse.

I think a lot of people will have over done it this weekend op so domt beat yourself up

I'm working tomorrow so tonight I'm having a bath at 9pm and cleaning my teeth straight away

Thanks everyone. Yes I have overdone it this weekend and do every weekend, if I'm honest. screamingvalenta yes, that's exactly what I do - listen to a little voice inside me saying "This is still MY weekend and you're not stealing any of it, work!"

You don't have to sip from a ”wine glass”.

I rarely drink alcohol so will have a cup of tea, iced Coca-Cola, TJ with Worcester sauce, j20 if I have it in, fruit juices and elderflower cordials etc.

Good for you in wanting to cut down your alcohol intake but don't be a martyr and sign and gaze longingly at alcoholic drinks others around you may be drinking.

I used to drink a lot. A hell of a lot. You can do this.
