  • Well yet another AFD for me, didn't really miss it last night again, feels weird to me not actually wanting one!

    Have slept really badly for last couple of nights, I have just been waking up every hour or so, not being thirsty or needing the loo as I used to be when I was drinking a lot but just sweating or generally feeling restless, just more withdrawal symptoms I suppose!

    On a happier note I feel healthier, more alert, less sluggish, brighter eyes and un-furry mouth!! I have managed somehow to gain weight instead of lose it though - around 5 pounds :eek: I think I have been eating more to compensate for the lack of alcohol filled glass in my hand!

    good luck today everyone

    Try as I might I just can't get the image out of my mind............:rotfl: :rotfl:


    Unfortunately the image wasn't just in my head- it was real:rotfl: :rotfl:

    Well done MOLLYPOLLY:T :T :T :T You are an inspiration and you still support everyone on here with your kind and wise words- thankyou so much and congratulations on your acheivement:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Giddy and Shoppy- sounds like you are both detoxing and have mild withdrawal symptoms-expect flu like symptoms, sweats, panic, anxiety, restlessness, shakyness, trouble sleeping, irritability...all normal, they will pass in between 48-72 hours of stopping...although please check with GP if symptoms are really unpleasant particularly if you have gone from really heavy drinking to nothing suddenly-it can be dangerous. Make sure you eat and get loads of Vit B too.

    Re: getting old....yep me too...damn it:eek:

    Have a good day everyone...is Molly the first on this thread to achieve 100 days straight..perhaps we should give her a prize or something?
