    Thanks Gien. It certainly does focus the mind on the task in hand. It also helps to know you are not the only one in the boat .....er ... wagon :D



    :wave:BHB.


    I think it's great to hook up with people who want to give up/cut down and are doing something about it. Plus I'm a sucker for a star chart!;)


    I'm sure I can't be the only one glad to some sort of normality today. Calling in early as I know I won't be drinking.


    1 AF please Shaggy.

    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.

    On my 8th day now and having trouble going to sleep at nights. Have been laying awake for 3 hours or so before going to sleep. Think years of beer has affected my sleep pattern.

    Back to work today after a couple of weeks off. Bit worried about when I walk in the door this evening as normally the first thing I do is head for the fridge to grab a beer.

    Perhaps the shock of work again will make me so tired I will go to bed and straight to sleep :o

    Have a good day everyone and thanks Shaggy for still being here.


    Will report in later this evening:)

    Try cutting back on caffeine? I try not to drink coffee after midday and then switch to decaf coffee or tea - or maybe straight tea....that said I'm drinking coffee now (but I'll make it my last)....

    Thanks Shaggy - yes I did think that earlier. May well hit the herbal teas tonight instead of my normal tea.

    I think we have some "relaxing" ones in the cupboard - may help??
