I have had a couple mornings like that recently too! I wake up "hungover" and for a moment my thought is "ugh why did I do that again, no more" and then I quickly snap out of it and remember I didn't! Ha! Hopefully just body still adjusting, and I think is Chicago weather might have something to do with it...
Question for you JulySeaCoast -
You said you were on day 16 and had a glass of wine last night. Are you trying moderating? Curious how that's going and what your plan is. It is heartbreaking for me to think ill never be able to drink wine again, and I'd love to get to a place where I can have a glass or 2. Wine is part of my profession as a sales manager and I'm a certified sommelier. Of course, it was probably part of the slippery path I have been going down the last five years, but it's something I really do not want to lose completely.
Hi Seep - no, not trying moderating. I've tried it before, a la deciding to drink two glasses of wine a night. It just did not work for me. I was juggling, thinking well I really want three, so that means only one the next night.......etc. It was exhausting thinking so much about it. Easier to stop altogether. So, I had the one glass Friday night and nothing since. No real temptation at the dinner hour, my drinking time. I make my cranberry/seltzer/lime and drink it out of a wine glass. The future? I don't know. Will I want a glass or two of champagne at a wedding or a birthday? Probably I can do that. I take it a day at a time
