Thank you for the anniversary wishes! 😊 Had a lovely evening but the half bottle of wine I drunk has given me quite the headache this morning! 🙈 normally that would do nothing to me - I drink loads more usually! Hopefully that means that my body is not okay with alcohol anymore- I hate feeling like this so the rebellion will certainly help the motivation to stay off the stuff!
Anyway, declaring early today! 😂 14/10..'Happiness is not a destination but the journey you walk every day'

I think you are right leftatthetrafficlights. Our bodies are very good at letting us know what they need and, equally important, what they don't need. For years I blocked out the messages and my tolerance for alcohol went up and up. Now when I have a drink I know that two glasses/half a bottle of wine is my limit and there is often a price to pay for even that amount😕.
