Small, it will go - you might jest have a headache - there's a lot of it about! But it will go, I had awful sinus pains yesterday which I know are withdrawal related, not completely gone but better today.

Lux, I find I am more deeply asleep in the morning - so it's more of a struggle to surface until after coffee!

Chit, Dave, Tis, Lunk, Beaches, Dubh hope the day's going well.

Argh.... Headache from hell today. A new symptom for me - those who have had it, plllleeeease tell me it'll go soon? Couldn't get up this morning. Quite extraordinary, the things we do to our bodies, and I only ever notice the full extent of it when I stop doing it. Grr. Hope everyone else is doing better today.

Just want to fill the thread up so I can jump aboard the lovely shiny new one.

I stayed up a bit later last night and got off to sleep ok, bit groggy on waking but I'm fine now after coffee.

I wondered if anyone can relate to this or have I just been a monster?
Partner and daughter both did numpty things last night, he couldn't work out what I meant by "Could you please leave me a pair of pyjamas in the bathroom" (I know, tough one to decipher eh?) and daughter was making a racket at 11pm. Sober me was faintly amused at the pyjama conundrum and just rolled my eyes (in private) and sober me just explained to daughter she needed to be quiet now as Dad is getting up early.

Drunk me would have been hissing 'dickhead' at OH and calling dd selfish then gone downstairs in a righteous huff, for another drink while feeling bitter I lived with such dim and selfish people, who don't appreciate anything I do for them blah, blah, blah.
This was quite the revelation.

Luxury woman plans for today, I have already put on a brighter than usual lipstick and popped in some earrings. Plan to settle down with a new book this evening which I received for Christmas. Also wearing best undies (I am sure you will be thrilled to know)
Small things to treat myself better. Cost-zilch. No budget here for big treats, although thanks to Spannas advice to read the horoscope I now know I have riches to come this year - can't wait Smile

Hi luxury I am sleeping like a baby only trouble is I am also needing an afternoon nap tooGrin
I must have lost loads of water cos my wedding ring is slipping around my fat finger.
I have a good couple of stone to lose which I think is mainly due to alcohol. I will weigh myself at the weekend and check if the scales have moved.
Still feeling a bit sluggish bit hopefully this will pass.
How are you?

Terrible sleep but I think that's because I didn't get outside for any fresh air yesterday so planning a big walk today.
Weighed myself, much worse than I thought! Got to loose at least 2 stone so watching my food starts properly today.
Let's be havin you day 4 (3 or whatever day!) Smile

Morning all, it's a new dawn, it's a new day...

I slept a bit better, 3 hours is better than 2. But feeling energised. Have written a to do list for the day, top of the list is to write a to do list, so already I've ticked one off!

Have a good day.

Day 3. Horrible night, very little sleep, weird nightmares and couldn't switch my brain off at all. Lots to think about at the moment but would rather it all buggered off at 3am! Sensible eating starts today and will make sure I get out for a run as that usually helps with the sleep thing.

sweet I think you should go for it...it's nearly full

Morning babes.
Day 4, not worried about today. Slept ok and just woke up feeling groggy, why is this when I rarely felt hungover? Not fair but I guess it will get better. Last day of the holiday so making the most of lying in bed drinking tea.

Babes, just noticed we are on page 40.

I know Mouse said she might be back to do the new thread, but she has so much on, shall I do it?

Morning All.

Crashed out early last night. Well done everyone, what are you lot like Grin!

Still waiting for deep, undisturbed af sleep here, but definitely improving.

Anne, I have very high colour too, from Rosacea, that is made worse by drinking, unfortunately, its not my only trigger, just the main one, but I'm hoping for an improvement. Last time I managed more than a fortnight I did have a huge improvement in the visible pores on my nose. I'd had them for so long, I just assumed that was my skin type - nope it was the wine.

Hope everyone took strength from resisting those cravings last night. Its day four (or three) already!

Day 4 dawn's and finally a decent night's sleep. Well, apart from between 3 and 4 but that's still better than usual.
The atmosphere on here is so good at the moment- love it.
Come on Babes, let's kick Day 4 in the nuts.

Made it to the end of day 3 without Incident. To be honest my cravings seem more focused on dairy milk today! I bought a book as an incentive and while I am excited to read it, I seem to be too sloth like to leave the tv and sofa and just go to bed, perhaps I will get a sniff of boing tomorrow Grin.

Love hearing about everyone's day and relate to all the unhealthy internal battles, to drink or not to drink. Well done everyone. Star

Day 3 done!!! Well done everyone.

I have found it surprisingly easy so far but will not get complacent. (And to be fair the magnitude of my hangover on the first was such that I don't think I could have had a drink).

Lack of sleep is my biggest issue - two hours last night. Hopefully in time sleep will improve. And the dreams! I love them, so lucid and random.

Anyway, keep on with it everyone and hope you sleep well.

ma Grin at your shout out! All I could hear was Scooby dubhy dubhhhhh. Grin

Shit last two days, had to do an extra half shift yesterday, so many people off poorly. Had a bit of a humphy face on initially but realised it was actually a bit of a Brucie Bonus.

While at work.......no drinkin! Got home, very tired and frazzled, but had a poached egg on avocado toast and went to bed. Get in!

Today, very busy but had the benefit of a later shift as had to have sufficient down time so it's kept the bugger at bay for another day. I am girny and snappish but doin it, doin it, doin it! And LW I am doing a different thing every night. What a fab thing you did inspiring everyone!

Am I the only one who just couldn't be arsed with a whole month of sexual satisfaction? Grin Perhaps a bit of an afternoon. Once my inner thighs stop rubbing together. I suppose if someone was between them they wouldn't be rubbing as much...

Everyone is strapped in tight on the wee bussy, love it, love it, LOVE IT!!!

Hahahaha be strong Elba! That and a fb messenger message I just received from my 11 year old son has cheered me up no end. The message was 'Mam someone has pooped on the toilet seat and it was not me. I think it was sister, she's minging'
Goodnight Grin
