    2/13 for this evening please Cathybird. I didn't get a good night's sleep last night and somehow I always feel a bit cheated if it was an alcohol-free day. 
    Same here wbf but I find I sleep better on drinking days! I'm blaming DH for last night as he was restless so neither of us slept well. 😫

    2/10 AFDs please Cathy

    Happy noon (almost!). 2 trips to the recycling centre (peak of the action here!) and a 2/24 for me.
    Now a gainfully employed bassist again - WooHoo!

    Declaring early so 2/18 please for today, Tuesday. 
  • Maman, at least we should sleep well tonight. I'm sleeping better on booze-free days but my other half is struggling to sleep those days and he's like you, sleeping better on drinking days.

    Declaring 2/26 early this evening. Really want to keep away from drinking tonight tbh could quite easily fall into the spiral. 

    @Wanna_Bee_Free my sleep patterns all over the place sleep too little/ not enough/ never the right amount. !!!!!! awful just leads to temptation I find.
