Hi all,

Today I have been alcohol free for one week, I never ever thought I could do it , I can't believe I didn't do it years ago, I feel happier, sharper at work and can feel the health benefits already, I havnt even been tempted at this point, I'm not silly though I know it's early days but right know feel very positive 😊

    Congratulations Ann.  That's amazing.

    I can't remember if you used anything to help you or did you just use will power alone?

    Whichever you did, you must be so proud of yourself.

    Pat xxxx

      Thank you, I didn't use anything, just when I got to the 3rd day it was a lighbulb moment , something switched on inside, a work colleague was trying to encourage me to get a bottle on the way home yesterday and I wasn't even tempted, I never wanna go back to feeling like that xx

      see my reply to your earlier post Boo. Just my experience but it seems par for the course I am afraid with  a lot of people.
