Hi,

Two friends speak about the sexual addiction of one of them.

-I'm over with him.
-But he's not over you. I think he's walking around in his own bangover, and then he'll come to his senses.

(...) et qu'ensuite il retrouvera la raison / les idées claires.

Réponse un peu tardive...

Il y aurait aussi : ... et qu'ensuite, il reprendra ses esprits / se ressaisira (va se ressaisir).

Hey lads,

I was wondering how to how to say 'i came to my senses', as in 'i'm so glad i finally came to my senses, going skydiving would have been a terrible idea!'

i've looked all over WR and couldn't find anything relating to this, so would rlly appreciate some help

Maybe this might help :entendre la voix de la raison

Peut-être "revenir à la raison".
