Today i got it , i finally GOT IT .The penny dropped.I DONT EVER want to drink again! I awoke with a bit of a spring in my step instead of feeling hungover-which is very unusual for this sluggish 51 year old nanna/ mum of 4. My son turns 34 and i'm here to see it. I felt a sense of euphoria , I dyed the greys out of my hair , made poached eggs and coffee for my daughter and i then i ventured into the shower to shave my legs .This was to be an ordeal as i hibernated like a bear for months and grew hair to match. 5kgs lighter after losing all that hair,i even put some makeup on and we ventured to the shops , bought my son his birthday pressies , got my hair cut , bought some nice warm clothes and pjs , did a bit of food shopping - which i usually detest , picked my 16 year old up from school , then came home to my bewildered dogs who couldn't believe i had been out all day. i'm sure i heard one mutter " wtf " .
