    Does giving up alcohol make it any better???

    I think you need to read back through the thread back to the early days i.e. prior to 7th April to see how you were feeling then :)

    You are an inspiration and our role model and muskateer leader by the way ;)

    OK.Everybody.I'm back. And I cant wait for tomorrow.I have just spent the last hour catching up on this thread and finishing our last bottle of wine.
    I had done nearly three weeks on the wagon then well and truly fell off last week with both mine and OH birthdays, 25th wedding anniversary and a week in Blackpool.
    I feel I really everyone down especially when I woke with a hangover and wobbly belly.Never want to feel like that again!!!!!!
    So from tomorrow I DONT DRINK WHEN I AM SOBER.
    We have no more holidays or celebrations now so should really be able to get rid of this habit once and for all.
    Back to my routine of tea and toast when I get in from work at night.
    I have put three pounds on as well and am now above my target weight again and my skin is awful.
    I need to feel and look glowing again so 'Heres to tomorrow.':beer:

    Welcome to all the newbies and well done to you all for doing so well whilst I was away.
    Love Mollypollyxxxx

    Remember this, that was the last time you had a drink - OVER 7 MONTHS AGO!!! :T :T :T :T :T
