Had a really stressful night so far. Been inline submitting my tax return, tomorrow is the deadline a encures penilties if they are not in. Felt sick doing t seemed to take ages and kept missing bit out. Finally submitted it sucessfully half an hour ago phew !!!.
Once it was done my first thought was I will get a drink I deserve it after going through all that stress . But for a change stopped and thought NO I don't need a drink and realsied when I do something stress ful or difficult I then justify having a drink as my reward hence have identified what is a classic trigger to start we on the booze trail, and I know it only a small thing but wanted to share that i had identified it and overcome it ! Going to get a brew (trgs thats a northern way of saying a cup of tea) and a bath . Oh and must comfess did have a chocolate bar to celerate !!! Thaks for letting me ramble on again DD xx

well done for not drinking.

It is good when we can establish our trigger points. We need to realised these and replace these with other things so that we can "chillout".

BTW I'm sitting here with my cuppa too...cheers.

...don't worry about the chocolate - I won't tell anyone!

ya your right never though of it like that but it is about reprogramming our brain to do things differantly . Remind me of the saying "If we carry on doing things the same way we will just carry on getting the same "
