Dry July Done and Dusted
soooooo i got through Dry july and raised just over $250 for Royal Melb hospital, less then my goal but I am happy with results, and don't want to call it too early, but I think this will be the start of a lot less wine in my life. I actually tried a few different yummy drinks with no alcohol and enjoyed them. I think I will just put my hand up to be the designated driver thats easier then explaining why i am not drinking. :) :)

- Thanks @kmakm. I drank so much water yesterday arvo I peed about a dozen times over night lol. Might try to drink early today!! Woke up feeling ok. That’s a positive xx
- Well done @JenniA. So good to get the first one out of way. No more fear of the unknown now.
Like @LMK74 I didn't throw up once. Just felt a bit nauseous every now and then. Have a walk every day and drink lots of water over the next few days. Rest when you need to. Good idea not to think about side effects too much, no use crossing bridges until you come to them. Sleep well. K xox - @JenniA, rest up and be kind to yourself. I look forward to hearing about your experience. :)
- Well done @LMK74. Always awesome to read a positive comment. I will keep in touch & report good or bad. Hopefully good
- @JenniA, great news . I was shitting myself for the first one. I went home and remember waiting for the side effects to kick in. I thought the next six months I would have my head in a bucket lol. Never happened. I hope the same for you. Let us know how you go.
- @kmakm @LMK74 all done & feeling good. Not thinking of side affects till or if they hit. One down, 3 more to go yay
- Well done YOU, @dearb ... i think i am with @kezmusc on this one!! ;)
@sister I think I'd be anxious if i DIDN'T have alcohol! lol
Not that i get screaming drunk or anything ..... i just enjoy a wine or 3 at night ;) - Alcohol makes me anxious now and I've only had a couple of glasses since diagnosis ( my husband is sure booze is the culprit while my money is on stress but who knows). And chemo has made most things tasteless or unpleasant so hasn't been too hard. I'm hoping that I can be an occasional drinker without trouble when things get back on a more even keel. My go to has been very cold mineral water and I love a chinotto (but not it's sugar content).
- Awesome work @DearB. You are a stronger woman than me. Epic failure on dry any month (or week for that matter) :smiley:
- Oh that’s good to know @kmakm.
@LMK74 thanks heaps for those positive words xxoo
