Site Supporter Winchester White Posted January 8 Site Supporter Share Posted January 8 Genuine question for those cutting down on the booze, especially after a Christmas and New Year binge please. I have found my sleep and mood is all over the shop. I actually think I might have over done it this time and it's actually worrying me a bit.

Which is why I have probably drank more than in any time before in my life. January is now here and I feel like absolute dog shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will get there for sure, just putting it out there for input that Is much appreciated Try creating a routine for working at home, go for a walk before work and after to act as a commute to get yourself in the work frame. I really struggled with it during Covid as lost all the boundaries between work life and home life. If you have a separate office try and make sure that the door is shut when not working, or make sure that computer is properly switched off and no mobile when on non-working hours.

Best thing for me on first night off the booze is dead hot bath, followed by cold shower then straight to bed That's my plan for tonight, first night off the booze since 20th December Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so bad this time round: Foam earplugs Blackout eye mask 2x ZMA capsules 1x Ashwaghanda capsule Probably the first week of decent sleep in about 10 years! 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mickbrown Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 60km bike ride in the bag this morning. Like a dick wore the wrong gloves thought I had frostbite in my little fingers. Strava says 2200 calories burned. Fuck knows how they work it out but I’m taking its word for it and eating and boozing for (almost) free tonight.
