A new start

[tc1969]

Morning all, it’s a Monday morning and I’ve made a very conscious decision to give up drinking. I’m not hungover but I’ve wanted to do this for ages. I paused when I typed this because I know it’s going to be hard for me and I didn’t want to make that commitment public knowledge in case I fail. I’ve accomplished a lot of things in life but this is one thing I have never managed to do. I’m using the NHS drink free app as my life coach and will monitor progress on there. I probably drink 3 bottles of wine a week and throw in a few beers as well just for good measure. I rarely go out, it’s being at home, when I cook, when I’m watching tv, they’re my triggers so I need to find a distraction. I will do this for me, for my family. Thanks for reading this.

I've seen a lot of comments like this and I'm in the same boat. Drink in the evening, I live alone, usually it's only one bottle of wine a week in one night but has been known to creep to two in one night and last week I actually had 4 bottles of wine (holiday was my excuse). I was with my sister and got a few sidelong disapproving looks. I'm trying to do the same as you and would like to give up altogether. I posted a few minutes ago. Wishing you luck and will check in to support you from time to time.
