Thinking – still, sort of. September 1, 2016. Well, lots of thinking and pondering was done. And sometimes none. As in, have a bottle of wine to block those brain cells. Pulling out of the drive and getting back on the road. OMG why am i so full of shiit. I’ve done it before and know it’s not the end of the world but a new beginning…. So, anyway, today i bought the Jason Vale book, recommended by soo many. So today, i have an excuse not to stop. 🙄😈How full of shit is that? Happy thursday, peeps. Daisy,...

21 days – still here | elements of peace
https://elementsofpeace.wordpress.com/2016/07/11/21-days-still-here
21 days – still here. July 11, 2016. I’m still here. on day 22. still haven’t had a drink. We BBQ’d yesterday and i was prepping food for tonight that called for red wine – and i suddenly had a fleeting moment of “HMM a glass or two of red would be perfect now”. BUT i didn’t. I had an AF beer instead. And the fleeting moment passed. The reasons i’m taking a break – 30 days for a start – day by day – are various:. 8211; don’t want to be scared of getting sick – like REALLY sick. Dry skin and hair. Sleep &...

Monthly Archives: September 2016. Been there, done that. September 28, 2016. I’ve been alcohol free before apart from my two pregnancies. For just over 11 months. That was quite a while back. 2005 (or was it 2006, or 2007)? He would probably have coped like people do when something like that happens. I don’t know how people cope with situations like that – BUT, would he have done it the way that we (I) envisioned their upbringing to be? Very probably NOT. Would he have coped? I don’t know. I was also a b...

Day 10 – Hungover | elements of peace
https://elementsofpeace.wordpress.com/2016/06/29/day-10-hungover
Day 10 – Hungover. June 29, 2016. No, i didn’t drink…. I just woke up feeling that i had drunk at least two bottles of wine or prosecco last night. I had a headache – was probably dehydrated – and extremely tired, even after having gone to bed at 22.15 last night. Hovered around until the kids went to school (7.30), then lay down on the sofa and slept again until shortly after nine, after which i felt much better. I work 4 days a week and today is my day “off”. I decided that 2016 is my year. Take ca...

Monthly Archives: August 2016. So i was thinking. August 16, 2016. How profound, what…. So I was thinking…. Should i get back on the wagon this week or wait until school starts again. I got totally absorbed into the blogging world again yesterday and today (while at work as very little is happening there due to the holidays) and discovered a whole lot of new ones. 😬 (Sober ones and ones that want to be, that is). And then i was thinking, actually, why wait until next week, why not start now? Proscht und...

June 27, 2016. Everything has been going according to plan. The plan being no alcohol for the next 30 days. I don’t even want to think about after that, just one day at a time. No booze this last week. Must admit though, did have a couple of AF beers. I guess it’s better than having a bottle or one and half of Prosecco a night. Apart from maybe tomato juice.). One slight bit of motivation is that after a week I don’t look 6 months pregnant, maybe only 5.5. Anyone heard of AVRT? I’ve been reading quite a ...
