Hi all

Frustrating thing about being on the ship is the internet is so expensive and when I try to write my post in Word and cut and paste it all that crap comes up in front of the post. Really want to write a post on an epiphany I’ve had this week, might still write it in Word and post it anyway. Hope every one is going strong, I just passed 3 weeks, it really seems to be going slow this time!

Checkin’ in

Hi just a quicky to check in and say I’m staying strong and enjoying everyones posts. Noumea tomorrow where I usually have pizza and beer, obviously won’t be having beer and probably won’t even bother with the pizza, on a health kick at the mo.

On board

Hi all well I’m back on the ship and just found out my shows are not until the last 2 nights of the cruise which means I have 5 days and nights with nothing to do! I’m pretty confident I’ll be ok, I’ve been telling everyone I’m off the booze and I just had a work out that someone 30yrs my junior would be proud of! So I’m going to use these 5 days do start  doing some yoga, brush up on my Thai study and hitting the gym hard which is so much easier when yr not feeling seedy or hung over! Happy Sunday Morning for tomorrow!

Sugar substitute

“Jacalee” reminded me that you can get sugar cravings when giving up the booze, something I’d heard from a friend who was in AA for 5 years was they recommend trying something sweet when the cravings for alcohol start. So, taking all this advice I went out and bought a block of Rum (I think it’s only rum essance) and Raisin Dark Chocolate to take away with me on the ship…….dark chocolate is full of anti-oxidants don’t ya know!

Into 3rd week.

Half way into week 3 of my 2nd attempt at HSM, I just wanted to share with people just starting who often say they feel like crap at 1st. I’ve been told by many that it’s part of your body getting rid of the toxic build up and getting back into balance. So how long does it last? Well for me it took 2 weeks before I came good, I’m a very heavy drinker when I’m on the sauce so if you’re a weekend binger it may take less time. But if you’re a regular drinker don’t give up and take heart that it won’t be more than 2 weeks before you’re bouncing out of bed!
