Hello there Starts - you're sounding awfully chipper this morning.
No new additions - but a few are looking quite fat

Morning, Starts, Zeps, And Deebs

Well, I'm already halfway into Day 4 :-)

Didn't really sleep last night - got about two hours of restless, swaety sleep. But as I said yesterday: this to shall pass. Its temporary, and insignificant compared to the utter relief of not drinknig anymore.

Starts: enjoy work today!

Zepps: I hope they don't start better-ending on you all at once :-)

Deebs: get some sugar in you, woman!

Have a lovely day, and to those to come, too.

Morning all, and well done tips.

I'm feeling somewhat embarrassed about this, but I'll go ahead anyway. When I was drinking and had a headache once many years ago, I was introduced to Solpadeine which contains 8mg of codeine plus caffeine and paracetamol. Because it worked so brilliantly, I kept taking it for hangovers. Fortunately I never exceeded the maxmum dose and for most of the time it was less than that. I knew it probably wasn't a good thing to continue with but WTF when you're drinking.

During these last 30 AF days I found myself still taking it mostly in the morning for a headache, or the threat of a headache. I realised of course that this had to stop so I stopped yesterday, I have had the most foul headache for 24 hours, it's eased a little now, and I experienced other things that people have reported on the Internet, restless legs, twitching muscles and so on. I went to bed at 7.30 last night and must have woken at least 10 times, and I realised just how insidious these things are, the alcohol, codeine and many others. It strengthened my resolve to never ever let anything have control over me again EVER
