we’ll I set out to do dry Jan just tommorrow to go and I will have made it. I have fancied a drink on a few occasions but got past it. Now the test is do I have a drink one’s dry Jan is over. My mind doesn’t want to I feel so well and can do much more I feel other people try to get you to drink which is annoying . I’m getting anxiety around it but wud have worse anxiety if I drank I’m sure.

wow! Well done. If you’ve managed January I would continue into February. I am on day one.

Why do you want to go back to a drinking life? Keep in mind the reasons you stopped in the first place. When I first was getting sober people told me to try 90 days. And if at the end of that, my misery would be cheerfully refunded.

Well done to you. You know you can do it whenever it's needed. The choice is yours 😊

Hi 👋 yeah all is good thanks. Haven't found the right app yet so I'm trying sort that out. Going start back fitness sessions tomorrow and I've taken on a couple of clients for my volunteering role so hopefully my nights will start filling up for the nights I've not got kids. Good luck with your journey. Are you trying for t total now then ?

I find apple juice helps if I've ever wanted hair of the dog..that's only after a night out though and been on shots. When did u try ale ? I can't stand that stuff either lol.i always feel shitty through being poorly or my face pain so have in the past said. ..I may aswel drink if I feel this rough....but my mind set has changed now ..after doing a few weeks of 1 or 2 nights on an rest off I can feel the change in my mood,energy, sleep (though falling asleep is still hard)..bet cycling is great for the body and mind. I'm still on look out for cheap bike so I can take my son a decent run out.A target I'll have to do next is ...not reward myself with a wine after an activity. ...it will just add the calories back that I worked off.

Good for you Hun. After that speal of me not getting a drink when feeling shitty. ...I've been and got 2 can tonight that fight just wasn't in me to drink pop.

I know it’s psychological for me I think I’ve done dry Jan I can have a drink now but my heads telling me I really really don’t want one I can’t bare that anxiety I would have the next day and the I’ll feeling which I do not miss.
