I'm just going out to the shops (on my bike, instead of using car ... as am in healthy get fit non boozing mode
) so will try and get a copy of Bella.
Well day 6 for me and all is well although, as predicted I've gone into Rip Van Winkle mode. As soon as I abstain from the booze and my body realises its usual liquid refreshment has been withdrawn ... I just become like a sloth, wanting to sleep all the time. Despite an earlyish night last night, I slept right through until past 10am this morning. I'm self employed and work from home so don't have to keep 'office hours' and my daughter is away on a course at the moment and leaving home at 6am, so there's no alarm clocks or reasons for me to get up at a particular time, although I would normally wake around 7.30ish.
I woke up with a dreadful hangover type headache which hasn't shifted all day, so I have now just taken a couple of paracetamol in the hope I can get rid of it.
The sleepiness and the headaches, are exactly what I experienced when I gave up last year (only to fall off the wagon after nine months) .. but it did eventually pass after a few weeks and then I really started to feel good. I know the early days/weeks can be difficult, and I am prepared.
Luckily I am not very busy workwise at the moment, so instead am trying to focus on getting some DIY done around the place, but I am seriously lacking in energy. This trip out is to get more paint stripper for my shed door in the hope that a bike ride in the sun will perk me up a bit.
Well that's my update - nothing very exciting but very happy to be off the vino, and long may it continue.
