2nd dose of 1/2 Revia tablet last night. I took it at 4pm because I needed to drive my child somewhere and wouldn't be back home until 5.15pm.
6pm I poured a weak scotch and soda. Usually I can chug one of these back fairly quickly while I'm thinking about preparing dinner but I made sure to sit down at the table and be mindful.
Yes, the scotch/soda tasted like it normally does but it wasn't seducing me. My family wanted me to watch a doco on the TV (Eagle Huntress) and I couldn't say no so I took my drink to the lounge but made sure to sip it.
When it was done, I didn't feel like another drink and the glass stayed on the coffee table. (Unusual because I usually nurse an empty glass and refill it "discreetly" when I can.)
Dinner was leftovers but by the time I served it, I had completely lost my appetite and only picked at mine. My husband wanted to know what was wrong and I said I was just overtired. I drank a soda water flavoured with a sugar-free cordial.
Had a bath and listened to a few Ted Talks about the importance of sleep and why devices are a bad idea at nighttime. (guilty!...)
Went to bed at 9pm and started to read a book. Thanks to Ted, I have decided to leave my phone and ipad downstairs.
Slept better than I have a while. Not great but better.
At 4.10am I woke and found it very hard to go back to sleep but I actually realized that I felt "happy". It took me a moment to realize and then I started to feel grateful. ...sound so corny but it's true.
Side effects: Definitely dizziness or maybe it's lightheadedness. Lack of appetite. Occasional cramp in tummy. A bit of flip flopping in tummy. Nothing I can't handle.
