    There's something normal about getting home from work and relaxing with a beer :confused: how do I get out of that mindset??

    Hi Jo,

    How about trying Mollypolly's idea of sticking the kettle on and having tea and toast or something similar. Or is there some other drink r food that you can put in place of alcohol. Keep thinking as you're obviously wanting to quit or you wouldn't be here!

    Good luck with trying again. Sue

    Hi everyone.
    I am into week three now and feeling ok although I have woke up this morning with a headache style hangover after some really gory nightmares.
    Hope this soon passes.

    Yes Jo 1972, as sue says I make tea and toast when I get in at night now.
    I work mostly noonshift and used to always 'Relax with a drink' when I finished work as DH is in bed cause he has to get up early.
    Any way i read my little book and realized its 'the coming home' that's the pleasant relaxing experience... not the alcohol.
    Try a cup of tea/coffee or pop and sit down and relax.It really is just as good.
    Goodluck to all.
    Mollypolly xxxx
