    I was AF last night too, went to bed very early so I know that I have had enough sleep - let's hope I feel less tired today.
    Good luck Fruball with the hypnotherapy tonight.

    Have a great day everyone.
    Trying to keep in budget.

    Today is Day 27 since going alcohol free, and the first time I have actually felt truly 'well' for a long time. That's not in red deliberately because this month's target is part of it but not the whole of it.

    Since I started sleeping properly, which took a few days after going alcohol-free, I've been waking up later than usual and was really cursed with lethargy for about three weeks but I think that's now passed, thank goodness. Today I actually feel emotionally positive as opposed to just 'being' and that feels great.

    Apparently there's a sensation called a pink cloud, which bamboozles some people into thinking that they're feeling so great they don't need to worry about not drinking, so I'm going to treat this lovely feeling with a huge sense of caution and just enjoy feeling it without being over-confident.
    Better is good enough.

    What do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.
