Evil plans are indeed a hatching

Never ever cross a woman

And really think twice if she has red hair.

And is Scottish.

Afternoon - feeling loads better now that the hangover is well and truely gone. Shall be keeping away from the booze tonight too - funny thing is I'm beginning to think that I deserve NOT to drink. I deserve to wake up every morning feeling good, deserve the good sleep and the energy that come with not drinking. Maybe my sub conscious is slowly changing it's ideas about alcohol...

:hello: Hi Everyone, im kinda hoping that the mse wagon will swing in by my bit and let me hop on and join you guys. Ive been dipping in and out of this thread for a couple of months now, and todaty decided to take the plunge to drop in and say hello and 'can i join your gang?' please. My daily evening drinking has kinda crept up on me and before i know it, im planning my return journey home to buy wine and as soom as i get in i cant wait to crack the bottle open. I start off most weeks by deciding that this will be the week that i dont drink on a school nite, but invariably i dont make it past the first nite. I kinda like what you some of you guys do and not set yourselves up to fail by overcommitting at the start of the month about how many AF days you will have, sounds so simple but i never thot of breaking it down like that. Sorry for the ramble, i do tend to go on! Just thought i would stop by and like the rest of the newbies here of late, say hello

Thanks for the welcome fluffy bishop, yeah im glad that i posted today, and i will see how i get on this week, one day at a time and all that...i find it hard to know what to tackle first, my drinking or weight.....well done to you on losing all that weight, i need to lose at least 3 stones, i have been to WW so many times and it aint working at the mo, so i cancelled my membershipyesterday and will try going solo! Im planning at least 3 AF days a week and walk 20 mins for 4 days a week and eat sensibly..i know what to do its the putting it into practice that is difficult. My theory is, if i dont have a drink in the eve then i wont be so tempted to raid the kitchen cupboards!!

Welcome Glitzkiss, hope you enjoy the pure madness that is this thread, I get quite frustrated sometimes when I can't get on my laptop but am reading from my phone and somebody says something that makes me laugh out loud and it's such a faff to post on my phone that I leave it then the moments gone!! That has been pretty much the whole weekend this weekend, it's been hilarious! Hope you get to where you want to be and congrats for the AF night, did you have a change in your sleep pattern last night? Be prepared for some vivid dreams


Afternoon all :wave:

xx

I did get a change in my sleep pattern last night but it wasn't down to sobriety and it wasn't a good one. I forgot to switch off the message alert tone on my phone before I went to bed and typically a message came through just as I was dropping off to sleep. And that was me wide awake for nearly 3 hours :eek:

Luckily I'd got some sleep previously although that may also have contributed to me staying awake :cool:

And when I did sleep I slept properly and right through the dawn chorus that usually wakes me up at four. So swings and roundabouts :T

I'm looking forward to the vivid dreams though
