Well done everybody. Sorry for your news Corinthian
Weekend is a tester but want to run both Sat and Sunday so its no problem staying off the sauce and I have no rugby to play so I'll stay away from the club...the joy of Morrisons and a mini shop on Saturday..woo hoo.
I'll be fine - lots to do this weekend anyway. Its just the evenings when im settled down on the sofa adn all warm and cuddly. Last night a glass fo wine was substituted with a hot choc...wasn't quite the same.
MrsB and I are still on - been ok so far but the weekend is a real tester. Don't go to the pub so that's one temptation out the way but I find it difficult if I'm watching a cookery programme or something where they are drinking wine.
Kathy, I know what you mean about being warm and cuddly on the sofa.
Im sure it is....i need a glass or two of wine to help me drop off. Years ago when i was doing exams, i really suffered with insomnia and my doc at the time recommended a glass of wine an hour before bed.........wicked i thought!
This was also around the same time i developed a dependency on alcohol.....so i blame my doctor.
You have to stay in, tis the only way. The sleep thing is bad but does get better. Long evening runs so you are really knackered and then a bath seem to work for me.
I came close to having a glass of the red medicine last night. Kides were at a panto with grandparents, OH is away camping, I have scrubbed the house and at 9.30pm thought a wee glass of red would slide down nicely while sitting, watching TV. Solution? I stood ironing for an hour so my hands were busy!! How carp is that????
I do feel holier than thou this morning though in my lovely clean house!
Sorry to hear about your bad news Corinthian. Hope things get better.
Scottish, you can't drink the night before a 'big' race! Perfect excuse for your mates!! :-)
Looks like you've got enough on your plate Cath. Hope everything gets sorted out. Thing is, all of us on this board, being runners, have that extra bit of self disipline anyway, otherwise we'd never get out of the door. So you'll know when time's right to try again. Take it easy.

Maddy - be warm and cuddly with yaself, get a lovely throw and snuggle up. No man required......honest
How can they think about alcohol at this time in the morning......

The pub is not open yet.....
will report back Monday - have a good weekend and a dry one if possible
MrsB has just suggested a steak salad tonight - this will be a test. Can't remember what steak tastes like without red wine.
I am looking forward to having a weekend in, and no hangover.
However I am not so sure about Mr H`s will power so have just bagged up all the remaining beer and put it in the cellar.
KKD I have a massive ironing pile so might use your technique if I am tempted to slip.
I'm going out tonight. I'm going to get blasted. Work is sh*te right now. Personal issues hit a crisis today too. So feckit.
I'm tempted to say, don't give in, but just in a being supportive way not nagging.
Hope things look brighter for you soon. x
Can i come by the way??
