Hello Sunday Morning | Em

About

Hiya. My name is Em. I'm 34 and live in Melbourne. I have a vague hangover at the moment and after the last month of complete overindulgence, I feel gross and in desperate need of some detox-y action. I also come from a family of people who drink way too much and I'm scared of joining their ranks. I unofficially did a three month HSM last year - I did it without signing up, but I did complete it. I did it with my housemate which I think really helped because we were there to support each other. This time I'll be doing it alone so I may find it harder. But I also know how great I will feel and how productive I will be. There are a few challenges in the first couple of weeks for me - my leaving my old job party and I'm also having a housewarming party. Once they are done it will, hopefully, be smooth sailing. Really looking forward to getting stuck into my life once this hangover fades later today. Good luck to everyone starting HSM today. I think there'll be a few of us. Em Good luck

Survived my first hurdle

Well last night was my first serious challenge in terms of not drinking for this, my second HSM. It was my leaving work drinks as I am starting a new job on Monday. It had been a really full on week at work as I was trying to get everything handed over before I left. Anyway, it was really easy not drinking. I didn\’t even notice and to be honest, I don\’t think my colleagues did either. Last time I did a HSM, this would have been a real challenge for me. Maybe practice makes perfect? In any case, I\’m only two weeks in so I shouldn\’t get too confident. Next weekend is my housewarming and it will be interesting to see how I fare then. In any case, my new job starts Monday. I am nervous but focused. Wish me luck!
