dry night in a lonnnnng time!

I'm not sure what I was expecting to happen but it's not been too bad. I'm not neive in thinking this will be a smooth ride and come tomorrow I'll probably be itching for a drink but I'm so pleased with myself.

I avoided a pub teacas temptation would be far too high, especially in this beautiful weather. I avoided the supermarkets and corner shops incase I put a bottle in my basket. I came home from the school run and got a shower and began keeping myself occupied.

The goal is to go dry Mon-Fri and look forward to a drink at weekends. 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

    Good on you Danielle. I aim for more dry days than drinking days ie 4 dry which I have done this week. First time this year. The liver needs the dry days to recover so you are doing yourself a lot of good.

      Good thank you! I drank at the weekend as planned but not as much as usual. Monday is here and I'm gulping sugar free irn-bru and trying to keep busy.

      How are you?

    Day 4 of no drinking and I've decided to have one! I'd have potentially done up to 8 bottles by now - so happy how things are going.

    It's not easy though, yesterday I was very irritated and easily annoyed but I trying and my husband told me how proud he is which is a big help. He's aware I'm going to have down and narky days but I genuinely can't fault the support - he's amazing!

    Congratulations Danielle, great to hear!!!

    Your note has inspired me to go dry today (Sunday), my first day in years with the exception of when I've been sick with the flu. I am suppose to go shopping at Costco today and normally will buy some alcohol, I am going to force myself not to. Prove to myself I can do it....

    Thanks for the motivation!!!
