    Post by Spring Watch Girl:

    "Well, week 5 of no alcohol and I see a different person in the mirror. My eyes no longer look dull and vacant, they actually have a little sparkle and my skin doesn't look like uncooked pastry anymore. I feel that I have won a battle but not yet the war. Hope everyone else is at the point they want to be, I never want to be that person I was, I have been tempted but I just think back to what I had become. The sun is shining at the moment and I feel good and want to continue to have the sun in my life."



    Happy days :T :T :T

    "The person doing the list", indeed.......:rolleyes: :rolleyes: ;):D Welcome, Former Spice :T :T

    Use the ignore button Fed up mate. That way you dont see his posts at all then we can just ask everyone not to quote him:T

    Just because fedupandskint doesn't like the honesty of my posts you advocate that NO-ONE quotes me? That's a little selfish is it not?

    Graeme - if you put someone on ignore, you can't see their posts. However, if someone quotes them, you CAN see that. That is all that is meant by that. Its not personal....... please don't take it that way

    Morning all....
    I won't be troubling the scorer this morning - still on 6 AFDs.

    And, (glum) feeling rather hungover today. Again, I think (..:o ..) I had less than I used to drink but this morning it's obvious that it was still too much. I don't feel ill, just tired. No decent excuse....just had a difficult week & it all got on top of me, but needless to say I don't feel any better for it this morning.

    Still, I stopped before midnight so today is intact to be an AFD.

    Good luck everyone for today. You OK Jo? Keeping very quiet? (it's allowed! - just checking you're alright)
    Edit - had a feeling in my water you'd post while I was writing that!!

    Morning everyone, I hope your all doing o.k.
    I was reading through the link paybacktime posted earlier, there's some really interesting stuff on there. It explains why you sleep better when you haven't had a drink (even though you can feel like your sleeping worse).
    After the first few nights my sleeps been fine (like a log!) I never have woke for a wee, but can get back off fine if I do wake.
    Warm milk is good for helping you relax at night (don't have coke,coffee and some hot choc) as they have caffeine in them (I found out the hard way!!)
    I have also kept off the 4lb, but not lost anymore yet (fingers crossed I will though!)
    edited to add Im on 11/11 (how could I forget that!!)
