Morning Maggie, I am not sleeping much at all either with selling my house on my own, getting mortgage approval, buying and having the new place built, geesh! Too much going on which I can relate you are going through too. At least I didn't drink too much last night as I am having an Open House today and better be on my game to sell this place and get all the money I can for the next place, lol!
I think I am going to pick up some Benadryl too since alcohol disrupts my sleep and now this thinking, stressing at night is not helping things.
Haha, I also have found that wine is tasting different, kind of diluted like water so I tend to try another kind hoping for more of a full bodied kick. I just bought red wine instead of white and maybe it was the kind but it tasted sweet to me which I don't think it used to???
Your units were down and it's a stressful time so it's no wonder your drinking more but I am sure things will work themselves out.
Take care and take a breath!
Nal On!

Thanks Cheeto, Badger and UKB - you are all really great at responding! I have bought some actual Guinness today and it tastes just fine - it will be good though if it goes the way of Murphy's - it just tasted SO awful !!

My units this week are way up over last week .... SIGH but am not going to worry about it - just will keep plodding on. Have just sent hubs out for some Rhodiola for me to try and perk me up a little bit - then got to leave the house for a showing !

Cheeto - I had forgotten that you too are going through this - isn't it AWFUL ?? I cannot start to do anything at home in case the realtor calls and needs to show the house - I leave and go in the park behind our house with the dogs in the car, but have had three Guinness so after I park, I am going to walk back down to my house and put the car keys in the shed - I would be over the limit I am sure, if the police check me !! If I have no keys in the car - no problem !!

The Benadryl did diddly squat for me last night - I would take two tonight but work tomorrow so have to be up at 5.00 so am loathe to do that - I have always had no trouble with sleeping so am not sure what is going on ....to be honest I am wondering if it is the Nal ?

Thanks for the responses - it is so helpful and makes one feel that you all care !!!

Hugs to all, Maggie xx

Hi Maggie. Sorry for all the stresses. You do have a lot going on.

But look at your consumption going down!! That is wonderful. Good luck with everything.

Newlife

WOW - up from 20 to 33 !!! Not good - I know to expect spikes - maybe I was getting too complacent ..... SIGH ......

It will be ok.

Thanks UKB .... I am okay this morning and am going to try to be more aware of the drinks instead of just drinking them .... maybe this week was a sort of let down from all that has been going on - I am hoping that things will calm down now and I can really get back into it. I will just keep plodding on, one foot after another and take the pill ......

Hugs and thanks,

Maggie xxx

P.S. I will reply to your PM soon - am working today - I did reply to the second one already!!

No problem.

I am also convinced that drinking spikes occur as new trigger events come up, however as you'll see in my PM that's not necessarily a rule of thumb!

I do remember waking and feeling the nal was a waste of time if my units went up and being afraid that it had stopped working. You sound more frustrated and a bit down about it, weary than anything else.

Hi Maggie - I am feeling a little down today too as my consumption went up on Holiday - but I am going to keep it up and try to be more aware this week - keep posting and I will too - good luck this week - Ready

Hi Maggie,

It's typical to have an "off" week and I'm sure this week will be better. I know my consumption was up a little last week as well. Cheering for you!!

Hey there AG, UKB and Ready - I am feeling better this morning and yes I was having a pity party - I like things to be quiet and as usual - and too much is happening in my life but you know what - I have put on my big girl panties and am fine this morning !! It is raining but I am going to walk one of the dogs - we are both waterproof and I will think about positive stuff - the Nal is going to work -in the words of my guide on here, I just have to be patient !!!! I can and will do this !!!

Hugs to all, Maggie x
