The giving up/cutting down alcohol support thread Part 8!

jo1972

I think I've been listening to Absolute 80's too long.....this is going around in my head. Funny cos it's about the opposite, it's about Bruce Springsteen wanting to get out and have some action, but you could reverse it (well I could anyway.....my relationship with alcohol)

I get up in the evening
and I ain't got nothing to say
I come home in the morning
I go to bed feeling the same way
I ain't nothing but tired
Man I'm just tired and bored with myself
Hey there baby, I could use just a little help

Message keeps getting clearer
radio's on and I'm moving 'round the place
I check my look in the mirror
I wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face
Man I ain't getting nowhere
I'm just living in a dump like this
There's something happening somewhere
baby I just know that there is

You sit around getting older
there's a joke here somewhere and it's on me
I'll shake this world off my shoulders
come on baby this laugh's on me

Stay on the streets of this town
and they'll be carving you up alright
They say you gotta stay hungry
hey baby I'm just about starving tonight
I'm dying for some action
I'm sick of sitting 'round here trying to write this book
I need a love reaction
come on now baby gimme just one look

I'll get me coat

I can empathise too.:( I am always listening to that song as well.

I am feeling totally carpy about myself today. I can't seem to lose weight, I can't seem to stop drinking to excess. My hair looks like total carp lately. Grrrr.

Hopefully this day will get better. It has to improve from the way I'm feeling right now.:eek:

Hope everyone is okay.:A

Morning
Am on 5, really wasn't easy last night, definetely is something about Friday's that has been etched into my mind from a very young age.
But slept from 9.45 through to 7.30 this morning, that is a real lie in for me.
Ready for the day anyway.

Morning!

Well done DC. I felt the same. Unfortunatley though I could not sleep. Went to bed at 12 and still awake at 3. Got about 3 hours sleep I think and absolutely shattered this morning. 5 AF days in a row now but no improvement in sleep. Very disappointing.
Its worse than a hangover!

RN - yes did manage the challenge.

Got loads to do today so must try to muster up some energy somehow.

Hope everyone has a good Saturday.

Good morning - and it's another vaguely hungovered one for me, compounded by the fact that I spent a good bit of the night awake and worrying about the house move/getting everything done. So, still not had an AF day yet.

Like the idea of a list of things to do which isn't just housework and admin.

Gotta go and get coffee...

Morning all!

My cold is hanging around but wearing off at last - feel better this morning than the last few.

Have been to Sainsbugs and about to start a curry ready for tonights tea and then start some marathon cleaning session.

To everyone with sleep problems - it should settle down but will probably take a few weeks to do so. I found it took around a month for mine to settle and then it improved. I never expected it to be as disrupted as it was at the time and it surprised me. Hope yours improves quicker than mine

Have a great Saturday everyone and back later on for a catch up!

:)Morning All!

I stuck to the challenge last night, assisted by the fact I was at work till half past midnight! I had a great day though, kept going but not stressed, and did well with my sales so i am chuffed.

115K I hope you feel better as the day progresses, sometimes I get very down at times too, but it usually passes I think it's just a fact of life ((((Hugs))))

Jo too me ages to suss what that song was! Hope you are OK today:)

Hope everyone has a great day today, whatever they are up to,
