He heads off to UNR next month and we are hoping ge leaves it behind...We do play wii bowling alot though!!! Dryers are so versatile, they dry clothes they act as a closet and or drawer, they take the place of an iron or steamer, heck with a strong peice of fabric softener and a damp towel it can make it like u really did wash that favorite blouse u wore last week and want to again today! Enjoy your evening!

Good morning! Vliven you crack me up.:H Sounds like we have a little bit in common.

Well, I had three glasses of wine and put the glass in the sink. There was some left, but I didn't drink it all. I was actually in the bed with lights out by 11:00. Feel pretty good today, too.

Got some kind of worm virus on my computer at home. So annoying! Anyway, at work now, so just checking in. Hope everyone has a great day!!

Well no liquor at all yesterday but kinda drank beer all day..... Went to bed around 10 but woke up at midnight and could not go back to sleep for the life of me, it was miserable.......... Still feel 10 times better than I have any other Monday morning in the past. Think I will make today my first AF day - Hubby has band practice so it may be a bit of a challenge but I really wanna try. Any body have any suggestions for insomnia - I cant take those OTC sleep aids that give me restless legs. Well 6:15 about to start our morning meeting - check in later hope everyone has a great MONDAY

Hey V and LG. Glad you have found your "nest" so to speak V and are getting good advice. As far as ideas for sleeping, I really don't have any. I usually don't have a problem except for snoring. But that doesn't keep me up it keeps hubby up. :H Do you work out? I find that exercise is the best remedy and drink lots of water. If I don't work out then I am never tired when it is time for bed. Plus, the more you drink the harder it is to stay asleep. You will fall asleep quickly but then wake up with feelings of anxiety. At least that is what happens to me if I drink too much.

Good job LG on stopping at 3. I find if I go more than 3 I feel terrible in the morning. But that hasn't happened in quite a long time. I most always stop at 3 or less.

Watched my brothers 3 kids this weekend. Ages 10, 8 & 6. I forgot how much work it is. My boys are pretty much grown and out of the house except for the youngest but he's up at college for the summer. But I had a great time spoiling them and they are so much fun. So didn't drink this weekend except when I came home yesterday. Had a couple of beers and a glass of wine. I find when I drink beer it really has no effect on me and I don't feel it in the morning. But I only drink 2 beers. Maybe I really am becoming allergic to wine and it just doesn't sit well with me. Food for thought.

Have a great week all and keep on plugging away.

MM - I agree 100% with the exercise - no I am currently not - need to get a little more time under my belt with the no liquor before I hit the gym - Gym and diet is what kinda drove me to the liquor - I did not want all the calories in the beer - so I would take a few shots of liquor and that got out of hand - so I am going to give it a few weeks and then get back on track - unfortunately it is soooooooooooooo hot here in vegas the idea of even a walk around the block after work is dreadful - I am drinking a ton of water today - eating healthy and taking all my vitamins - I have not done this in months - thanks for the advice and support hope you have a great week

vliven the only advice I have about sleeping is what I did. I was drinking nightly before I came here, and when I first went AF, I couldn't sleep but a couple of hours, then wake, sleep, wake...ugh. It took over a week to finally be able to fall asleep naturally. I didn't take anything. Now that I'm not drinking every night, my sleeping is still good. I think I had to go AF for a while to get it back to normal.

I know in the past if I took a night off from drinking (rarely), I wouldn't sleep well at all. So, I guess getting it all out of your system is really the only way to get back to sleeping naturally. Maybe someone else has some ideas.

LG, I know you are right but I probably did not want to hear that........ I do plan to go AF tonight and think with the utter lack of sleep from last night I should be fine been drinking a TON of water and eating good today so still feeling pretty good - it is gloomy and cloudy here and since that is soo rare for us it puts me in a GREAT mood and fills me with energy.....

Hope everyone's Monday is treating them well

Yeah, it's not an easy answer, vliven. I don't think there's an easy way, though. I hated it, but I got through it. Before, for years I was just taking a day here and a day there, not often, that I was AF, and never slept except on the days I did drink.

Home now and performing a system scan on my computer to get rid some annoying malware. I'm in safe mode.

How's everyone on this monday evening? If it's mon eve where you are. I'm glad to get through the first work day. Bf said he's cooking hamburgers for dinner later. Drinking some coffee now and getting ready to play golf. AF as usual on week nights.

Doing well here. Didn't do so well last night - ugh!!! Hate that when that happens. Tonite had 1 drink, then dinner. No desire to have more so that's a good thing!

I do not sleep well either when I don't drink. In fact horribly. After monitoring with a Bodyfit Armband and discovering I was getting 3-4 hrs/nite, I got a prescription for Trazadone, just 50 mg.

LG - how the heck do you drink coffee at night????? Even if decaf I'd be awake until Wed.

I don't know, TMH. I probably shouldn't drink coffee, but it helps me feel satisfied (without AL). Sorry you weren't happy about last night. It happens. I'm not drinking tonight either.
