Well done Laura, so very proud of you, haywire hormones at first are normal, im on the implant and id never bled for months but when i got sober all of a sudden it started again…it settled down again though after a few months so try not to worry, its just a sign that your body wants to normalise which is a good thing. The vits will defo help with the tiredness, keep focus…have a read or a listen to allen cars easy way to quit drinking if you get time…great for changing your mindset on drinking, really helped me in those early days xx

You’re doing soooo well Laura! 
I’m not the biggest fan of school mornings, but they are a hell of a lot easier sober! I try to make sure everything is ready in advance, but a spanner always goes in the works somehow. I’m better equipped to deal with whatever is thrown at me in the morning when sober.
Regarding hormones, we are of a similar age group, I’ll be 44 in 3 weeks. Alcohol really, really, goes against our hormones. Google it, there is a correlation between us ladies of a certain age and alcohol. It wreaks all kinds of havoc. A few months ago (still drinking then) I had a few hot flashes come out of nowhere. Never had them before, so I didn’t quite know what was happening. Since I quit drinking I haven’t even had one. I do expect them to come back as it’s normal around this age, but, my body will handle it better without alcohol being involved.
We have to look after ourselves lady
Have a great day Laura, smash Monday sober!

One week done 
getting stronger each day, thinking things through more as the days go by, with emotions and the things that make me drink so I don’t slip which I really don’t want to, had a very busy quite stressful day yesterday, and normally I’d think I’d have a drink to chill, but instead got something nice to eat, chilled then bed, been getting up at 5 30 aswell so nice and if anyone is struggling believe if I can do it you can to, I have seen some very dark places, but there is light at the end of the tunnel, look after yourself, happy Tuesday all

So another hectic day, but I went for my food in a pub, a bigg one for me, had no intention of drinking and never, I looked around at people with drinks and the craving came in, but I made myself think of how much I’m enjoying food without getting wasted, and how bad it makes me which worked, and kept holding on to that, one more day and night sober, I’m very grateful
