Day 2

I have woken up feeling rubbish today.  Typical nights sleep that I have when I first stop drinking again...tossing and turning all night. It’s worth laying off the wine just for this to disappear!  Not feeling to great about a few things today either. I’m currently following Slimming World and I completely fell off the diet wagon at the weekend.... thank you to the wine! Then yesterday having had a drink the day before, I continued to stuff my face. Now I have 4 lbs to lose in 4 days - yep that’s not going to happen. One thing this makes me realise is I’m doing a bloody good job just realising I need to give up alcohol, be proud I’m trying to change my life and look at the positives. Not beat myself up for the slip up! If I’m not careful I will fall into a lull of despair and sit miserable all day and more than likely have a good cry! Come on, put on your positive pants, and don’t go down that road! Think of all you have achieved so far. The way your thought process has changed and ho

Day 1- 22/02/2021

 Why did I have wine last night!  In the last 30 days I have had 4 days where I have fallen off the wagon and had a glass of wine. Now, I’m not saying I have a “problem”, I’m not really sure if I have or not! All I know is that I feel so much better and more like me when I do not drink.  November 2020 I did a dry month in aid of Alzheimer’s Society. I continued until 16th December. I had originally planned to just stop all together but having to travel for work in December I then ended up having a drink - peer pressure! I’m mad at myself as I was in such a good place and feel like now I’m having to start from scratch.  So here we go, starting again. After reading many books on giving up alcohol - a lot of people have said blogging is a great aid in the days you really want a drink. So here I am....wishing myself luck- you can do this!  Miss E x
