I am feeling a bit down with the cutting out of alcohol. I think I tend to repress my feelings when I drink so I am getting all these negative thoughts going through my head now it is clear and unfuzzy.:(

It will be day 17 for me today BB.

I have to say as people are mentioning vegetarianism I know of quite a few people that had problems with high blood pressure and high cholesterol and have dramatically reduced their number through stopping eating meat. I do think it is a kinder way of life to the animals and to yourself. If anyone is interested http://www.viva.org.uk/ this website gives you tips on how to change your diet.

:wave: to Molly Polly. Nice to have you back again.

I'm trying to do something nice for myself today, maybe my DH could be persuaded to give me a back rub tonight, although he always seems to want something in return!:eek::p

I hope my post didn't seem lecturing at all about being veggie. I just thought that it might help if people are thinking about making a change and don't know how to go about it!:o:)

Thanks BHB & FUAS

I think I shall become half veggie. I was veggie for 6 years back when I was a teenager after seeing Howard Jones live in concert and him banging on about crualty (sp??) to animals, left the gig and didn't eat meat again, until 6 years later when I got a craving for a Big Mac and didn't look back :rotfl:

Just been getting some ideas over on the OS board about meal planning and turning myself into a 'proper' OS'er as at the moment I'm the complete opposite, I think being veggie will help my finances and OH's waistband no end!

Today though, we shall mostly be eating chicken balti out of the slow cooker :rolleyes: well off a plate but, oh you know what I mean.....

115K, sorry to hear you're feeling down, I think this is normal. I've only quit drinking for that long 2 or 3 times and each time it took around 30 days for me to feel 'normal'. Keep riding the waves, we are alll here for you
