feeling hopeful

so far over the festive season I’m happy to say I have been able to control my alcohol consumption.

Saying no to friends when being offered shots and drinking cans of pop alongside wine finishing with alco free beers. Feels much better after a night out when I haven’t got thanks hangover from mixing drinks. I don’t care now if people think I’m boring, feeling fresh is far more satisfying. Non alcoholic corona is satisfying.

will hopefully manage the ‘only drink at weekend in moderation’ next!

Well done 👍 I have to say I haven’t managed to be so good, but I am going to try and cut out the drink from Monday next week.

Thanks 😊

Well new year is a god place to start. My idea is do week by week and go from there. Small steps will lead to better habits. Hopefully 👌

I hope you have a lovely "dry" New Year's.It's really really tough not joining the alcohol fueled party. Sounds like YOU are in control of your health and self, so well done you. I also, "abstained" all over Christmas, and now I am doing the Dry January thing...probably dry 2023. Cheers !

Hi, well done to you.

Yes, I am a little apprehensive about being out tomorrow but the session finishes at 7 then back to friends but I’m hoping to go home from there at 7, Appreciate that I’ve been out and recover well to have a good day with kids next day. I’ll be hounded to stay out but ‘new year, new mind set’, let’s role with that 😃.

Well done and good luck. Boring? Don’t forget that only drunks find other drunks interesting and entertaining.

Thanks, and thanks 😊

I don’t mind some drunkness from others, but not the crying or aggressive types.

Out…I just like a tipple playing darts or pool (don’t like the ..shots shot shots but it’s easy to get roped into!)

It’s the house drinking, being alone habits that I really want to change.

Happy new year! 😅
