@Season_of_Mist - I know what you mean, I hadn’t a drink so far in January until I went out on Saturday, I only had a couple of glasses of Prosecco, but had such a stinking headache yesterday I wondered why I bothered! 🤷♀️ Need to stick to my guns next time and not get swayed.Season_of_Mist said:Had a nice AF weekend. 14/27 including today please cathybird. Only drank on two days so far this month. Haven’t really enjoyed either occasion. I think I may be losing my taste for it.For the first time I’m starting to think a bit more seriously about giving up altogether.

I have 3 more days to add. 1 for Thursday when my post didn't show properly, 1 for an AF Saturday because of driving and 1 more for today! 😁
I've been waking up with headaches too. I think it's a sinus problem probably not helped by booze. 🤔☹️
10/10 AFDs please@cathybird5 -
Menorca, June last year. My first drink for 10 months, after just one small lager I felt somewhat woosy!Now a gainfully employed bassist again - WooHoo!4
