Hi all,

Just checking in on day 8. I feel fine and am doing pretty well. Work is exhausting, and I can feel the pull of alcohol a bit. I'm not sure why, but I do find myself wanting to drink when I'm tired. Can others relate to that? It seems counterintuitive as it makes me sleepy.

But instead, I'll have a good dinner (I'm having ribs, too, Jeremy), watch Downton Abbey with my honey and go to bed early. I have to travel next week for work, which has me a bit nervous, but if I can not drink over the holidays with my family around I can do anything !!

Go Matilda. Well done on another good day.

For me the being tired and alcohol association was mostly a habit of debriefing and socializing after the day's burst of mental energy expenditure. I also found that if I finish my day of work dehydrated then my brain invariably scans an inventory of 'old haunts' as I make the transition from work to relax. Fizzay-water! Thanks for sharing your day.

Good job! Coming home from work used to be the most difficult time for me, too. It is not anymore, thank God!

Congrats on 8 days, matilda; well done. Like verte, I kept sparkling water on hand - very refreshing and something to have in my hand.
