hi all, sorry to be so late - have had my bf and her family over for dinner, 9 of us in all, it sometimes takes my breath away to realise that our dcs are sitting at the table with us, with their boyfriends and behaving like grown-ups, seems like a moment ago we that they were so little.
well, have not had a drink - that seemed kind of odd too, me and bf sat with juice, while the girls had a bottle of wine!
the only point on the evening when alcohol reared its ugly head for me was as i was about to have a helping of tiramisu, dd pointed out, (quite forcefully!) that i was not to have any! i thought she was trying to help with my diet, the liquer in it had not occured to me! oops!! so had to pass on pudding, hey ho, all helps to reduce the size of my bum!
KATE - just try and not drink tommorrow - dont beat yourself up!
wasindie - hope these babies come soon, the suspense is nearly killing me! , (dont suppose its doing a great deal for your dp, either )
venus - the changes are almost too many to list, physically i feel great, i look good, my skin looks hydrated and soft, no red face, better colour teeth etc.
i think i am mentally better too, my thoughts are bright and clear, not too muddled and i just feel generally happier.
my house looks and feels like a home, i have time to read, cook, garden etc. i have taken up yoga which i love and im even enjoying work once more - i had thought that i needed a change of job - all i needed to do was stop drinking! it made every aspect of life so difficult to cope with, i just feel so much less daunted by everyday life now.
so, very late for me! am off to bed now, sleep well everyone! and just think, we are going to have a lovley sunday because
WE WILL NOT BE DRINKING!!
