I have given up drinking and can't believe how much better I feel

I was only drinking a couple of glasses a night, but at the weekend once the baby had gone to bed I would drink half a bottle

was irritable, anxious and stressed and actually worried I had pnd

so I have had no wine for two weeks now and feel calmer, no more scratchy shouting at kids, my sleep is so much better, I can relax so much better, and can cope with three kids with a bit of energy! Can wine affect you that much?

Right my drink of choice this evening will be...............................................................Tomato Juice.

Fridge is full of it, from the last time I got this far, and then failed.

Yay for you, Enid! I am a terrible evangelist about giving up drink. Never waking up with that headachey feeling again - it is fab.

Gingerbear · 21/08/2006 12:07

Do we have a seven step plan then??

Gingerbear · 21/08/2006 12:08

18 November - is that the Xmas meet-up? I had forgotten all about that. Will have to check diary/finances.
And I will need a floor for the night.

Tomato juice is a good idea, I always drink it on flights but never at home, has to be spicy though, I think I will try it tonight. Oh yes it is definitely one day at a time and everything in moderation for me!

Well, nothing for me last night except a nice glass of lemonade! Dh had some cider so I kept virtuously pointing out I wasn't drinking anything just to annoy him
