Last night I did have 2 glasses of wine. I haven't drank during the week for a few weeks. That open bottle in my fridge was calling my name. What did it do for me? nothing. How did it make me feel? not really any different since I had shot my tolerance through the roof with this last weekend. How did I sleep? terrible - two glasses of wine and I was having hot flashes and just could not get to sleep. It was almost like I had not drank enough to make me immediately fall asleep (only to wake up later) but just enough to not be able to go to sleep at all. I am really nervous about the rest of the week and the upcoming Christmas break. At the beginning of this week, I told myself that I am exhausted, out of shape, eating crappy, depressed and stressed out! I needed to just spend this week recharging my batteries. Instead I am falling back into old patterns of drinking, not sleeping well, running around doing things (I think I have ADHD and the alcohol calms me down), not eating well and making excuses not to go to the gym. I always think that if I can just get to the gym, everything will fall into place. Drinking last night (even just 2 glasses) killed my motivation this morning because I did not sleep well. Maybe stopping drinking, will help everything fall into place.
In my craziest, most wonderful dreams, I just tell everyone that I don't drink and I am so relaxed, content, proud with that decision. Why can't I just do it???
You can. It's not a crazy dream but it is wonderful.
