Quick question - does anyone else feel tired all the time since giving up/cutting down? I feel absolutely drained as soon as I sit down after my tea from about 6.30 I battle to keep my eyes open until I go to bed at about 9/10?
I felt very tired in the first couple of weeks of being AF. I think it was 2 things- Alcohol has lots of sugar in, and I was missing that sugar
- I was able to listen to my body, and not have alcohol drown out all the messages it was giving me. And it told me I was knackered!

Actually, I'm feeling less tired during the day now as I'm sleeping a lot better. The first few days were tough as I found it hard to get to sleep as my body was so used to having a nightcap but I now find myself getting to sleep more quickly and waking up less during the night.0 -

Morning :hello:
No more AFDs to report but haven't been going wild
Being planning a summer holiday with OH - which involves the beach and sun and therefore the inevitable diet :rotfl:So the spreadsheet has been started for this year's "beach diet".....so this will inevitably mean less units....On that note...
ShaggyxWhat 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.0 -

Newbie here please (sorry about username - it really is the cat's name)
Very brief history - I used to drink every night, but started cutting down 3 years ago when DD1 was born. Has been a little hit and miss, but appears to have improved a little over the last few months as SWMBO now has evening job. Not that she drove me to drink - just that I have found it easier with the responsibility of looking after 2 little ones not to be tempted.
Anyway 15/20 AFD so far this month...

Celebrated getting a good offer on our house by having a cup of tea
and tons of good luck with the move.... 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.0 -
