Giving up/ Cutting Down Alcohol Thread Part 16

I'm really sorry to say that the probable cause of the poor sleep is booze. After OH's mother died he upped his wine consumption to two glasses of wine a night rather than the one it had been for years, and that resulted in poor sleep for 20 years. Fortunately he cut right back when I stopped drinking and now sleeps really, really well. It's like a miracle to him and he gets really pi**ed off with me reminding him it's not a miracle, it's not drinking more than his system can cope with. It takes a week or two to settle back into normal healthy sleep, but it really helps if people can cut down. It'll sound smug if I say I very rarely sleep badly now, although one small cup of full strength coffee on Sunday had been still awake at 5.00 am Monday morning ....
Love A Sale, moving is hugely disruptive for anyone, and yours is loaded with all sorts of emotional complications, so it's hardly surprising you're sleeping poorly. It'll settle down a lot once you're in the new place. (((Hugs)))
68.5 kgs. It's the heaviest I've ever been, but that was as a result of my birthday, a weekend in London and a second weekend in London. That's it for now, I'm on the straight and narrow. I can't stand this flab any more.

Anybody else?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 -

Hi everyone, great to see all the new scores coming in. I can't believe its May already.
Good luck to all who are trying new ventures. Please come back to update.
Well I finished on 16/17 in the end. Succumbed to too many s*d it days. However, I had a phone call from my GP surgery today to say I have to go on AntiB's for 2 weeks starting today. So I have decided it would be sensible not to drink during this time. I will also then see if i will continue the month onwards as 14 days would be the start of a roll, one I haven't been in for a long time.
I am glad they have finally found the cause of my discomfort, pain and worry. I googled the condition and the treatment and discovered that one of the prescription medication that I take daily for years, can cause Liver damage. Seeing as I drink too much, I am going to book in for another blood test for about 3 weeks time which I think will be a more accurate reading and may explain those pains I have been having too.
So I have to get back in the zone starting now and I am looking forward to doing it for a proper reason and reset everything.
So May is now going to be 30?! I don't know if I can do this but I really want to.Live for the moment and plan for the future0 -
Total of 19 for April, and Target of 20 for May, please, thanks0

good evening everyone. 1/28, please Shaggy. All the best, CuppaTea, for your upcoming 30 days. After slipping on target for the last 2 months I want to be back on track so I'm determined to hit 28 days this month.0
