Three things I've done today which I wouldn't have done if hungover

The three things I want to achieve today…

  • Drink two litres of water
  • Make good choices at the breakfast table - I’m on holiday this weekend and the last time I drank on a holiday I felt so awful the next day I near enough begged my boyfriend to go to Greggs for me to get a cheese pasty and a fanta. Then wasted most of the day feeling terrible during previous time away. Not any more! I intend to fully enjoy this break!
  • Walk 15,000 steps. Going to try and get extra steps in while I’m away

The three sober things I want to achieve today…

  • a day off from sugar. Tomorrow is my birthday so I am sure I’ll go wild on the stuff then
  • A day off from my phone (apart from checking in on this app!) When I drank and was hungover I’d be paranoid and checking my phone all the time to make sure I hadn’t offended anyone or done abything stupid. I’m climbing a mountain up in Scotland today and am so excited for a day of fully living in the moment
  • my third thing is the mountain itself. Because let’s face it, I wouldn’t be doing that with a hangover!

Happy to know I’m not alone. I thought I was the only one that neglected this while I was using. Showering was even a hassle back then.

On a Saturday:

  1. Got up from a restful sleep and made breakfast with my hubby
  2. Helped my husband deal with stress (usually it’s the other way around, and if I was hungover I would be irritable as all heck and causing more stress)
  3. Not craving booze to ease a hangover

My three things for today…

  • It’s my birthday, whoop! I’m going to have my fave foods but make sure I eat five fruits or veggies today. When I’m hungover I just eat junk
  • Take care of my skin. I’ll get home from my birthday dinner and take my make up off properly, no mascara stained pillow case!
  • Call my family

Yep, shaving, flossing, all skipped when hungover. I would brush my teeth, partly because the mint would help the nausea.

Today’s three…

  • get up early and seize the day
  • listen to a podcast about human kindness
  • visit a castle and enjoy it (when I was hungover on holiday I’d go on day trips and just be there to please others even though I felt horrific. I’d sometimes even cancel if I felt particularly bad. It’s nice actually being able to enjoy holidays!)
