At 50+ my body simply couldn't cope with what I was doing to it any more.

Re women, getting older and sleep - I read that women sleep less / develop sleep problems as they get older because of a lack of progesterone - this does indeed appear to be true (google women sleep progesterone) so women's ovaries produce less progesterone as they age and this effects their sleep....how sad! I miss sleeping like a teenager!

5/28 as of last night. Had a twinge in Lidl but couldn't find the compulsion in my body so decided to leave it. That was enough to keep me AF.

Thanks for your support Honey Bear. I had an interesting experience on Fri evening, a night when I would usually drink, I felt shakey and' worked up' but not about anything. I realise that I was using booze to damp down these sorts of feelings rather than use the anxiety and stress reduction techniques that actually work and keep working!

I did eat a generous slice of cake mind you, but one habit at a time!

loveasale

Thanks HB ,, I think I drink because of all 3 !!
Funny as when I'm not drinking I'm really not bothered ! I think ,, well actually I know one day I will totally AF ! And won't miss it !

Need to get back on it. 2/15 tonight please.

debjay

5/24 for tonight please.

maggiem

Struggling a bit to get back to not drinking, had wine with meal tonight. Not too much and didn't want to keep on drinking it even so. I am away a lot of February and unless I get over wine with a meal out I am. Not going to make target so tomorrow I intend to be AF.

Poor_Single_lady

4/21 please

Planned drinks out tomorrow but minimal, controlled and few, not as many as I can drink until I fall over.
