Well done on 7 weeks. That's brilliant! I've got PMDD. Its like PMS on steroids and I find it really hard not to drink during that week. Red wine was my go to. It's really all stress relief for me now, to sort out my mood. Massage helps loads, if your tummy's not too sore. Meditation is a must or I start feeling like a caged animal (and acting like one!), Valerian root really helps with that anxious or emotionally charged feeling, lots of baths, home made soup, films that make me cry, decent pain killers and knowing it'll pass. Hormones add a whole other dimension to alcoholism and cravings. Be kind to yourself, whatever works so long as its not booze!
