Hi Jo,

The sleeping thing - me too - but part of my problem is I replace alcohol with coke, or tea, or something else that can't help!! so I bought some squash to drink in the evenings - I don't know how many adults really drink squash.

Now I just accept it when I can't sleep, get up and do something, and try to ensure I focus on the next day/ getting an early night/ whatever.

Not very helpful! Sorry.

Hi flimsier :hello:

from what I have read (and experienced) round this thread is that most people have sugar cravings early on. particularly choklit Again, it does pass....

Thank you for your warm welcome.

I'm interested to get reading about some of your coping mechanisms whilst coming off the booze so will have a good look around this (and previous) thread(s).

Good to know that these, I guess, 'withdrawal' symptoms pass! Just hope its swiftly!

Welcome aboard everyone on the wagon!

Just popping on as have a very busy 2 weeks with studying so won't be around very much - anyway I'm on 10 AFDs including today and tonight (no chance of drinking -should see how much I have to do tonight!)

I'll be back later on this week to update

Also I made some lemon squash yesterday - really easy and really nice - just sweet enough!

Hello everyone, just wondered if I can join in?

I really don't do well on not much sleep and this has been the main issue every time I've stopped..... when I do manage to get to sleep I have hot and cold sweats and often wake up with the bed clothes soaking wet!

Thanks, Jo x

Hi Jo, welcome... I'm a newbie here as of last week- and it's really helped me.... (They are an ok lot really...;))
As for the hot/cold sweats- I have them when I drink- since I've had a few days off- nothing !! I think the two are related.. for me anyway !! The sleeping thing- I know what you mean- used to use it as an excuse..... but- I'm sleeping amazingly now. Tried Nytol- needed it for a couple of nights.. now I find I'm so tired- I read for a while- then it's pretty natural.
Anyway- welcome again :wave:
