Nightime ponderings

It's 1.40am in the UK and I'm 20 mins short of 50 hours not drinking - and I've hit that withdrawal symptom that was the most frustrating last time I stopped drinking .... waking up in the early hours and not being able to get back to sleep.

The same would happen when I'd had alcohol but I'd laze about in a foggy state feeling sorry for myself whereas my more lucid mind is just racing.

I've realised something else my drinking was affecting was my teeth. I was getting through about 3 cans of fizzy drinks a day to cut through that 'gummy mouth' feeling I would get after drinking.

I've also realised - totally off topic - that my forum name is quite apt as it gets shortened to VW and my job involves customer service for VW cars - on a 3rd party basis. Only taken nearly a month to realise!!

Green jelly babies are the best.

This is exactly what happened last time, nights/early mornings of the most random thoughts. Slightly amusing but also highly frustrating when I need sleep.

Thank you for humouring me and my ramblings. :-D
