    Are there any ladies here of menopausal age who find alcohol affects your symptoms for the worse?  
    I plan to cut back more in November to see if that helps me. 
    Definitely Cuppa - I get many more hot flushes when I have had a few glasses of wine - unfortunately it hasn’t stopped me from partaking 😉

    Declaring early for today on 1/10 please cathybird 
  • made 19 in October and well pleased to have made my Annual total with 2 months left to go. Might as well declare now for Monday 1/18
    Nothing to see here, move along.

    Morning all and a crisp autumnal day it is - sun's singing, birds are a-shining. 

    Kicking off with 1/29 and 211 days since a drink!  I had a bizarre dream though - you know sometimes you have a moment when you wake up and the dream seems real...Just for a moment I woke up and thought I couldn't drive as I'd had too much to drink last night - that was the bit I dreamt! Strange...
    Now a gainfully employed bassist again - WooHoo!

    That’s interesting, thank you for sharing. 
    I want to do better than October and that could motivate me. Thanks 
    Live for the moment and plan for the future
