first weekend

[chantelleW]

been dry for five days now. Even with weekend coming up I suggested to partner we go for alcohol free Prosecco and we actually liked it. Going to do Eurovision sober. Feels like quite a thing…..!

Great job! Keep up the great work and take it one day at a time. You got this!

Thank you! One whole week now!

The Kylie fizz is pretty good. Anyway well done. I'm a few months in and I'm sleeping better and haven't woken up in hospital once

Good work

Fantastic! I love a bit of nozecco! I discovered Tanqueray Sevilla 0% gin with a Mediterranean mixer tonic it's like a holiday in a glass. It doesn't taste like gin but is lovely. Weekends are tricky but having a wee bop while Eurovision is on sounds like a fabulous distraction. Enjoy, you got this @

It was fab wasn’t it?

[Jampacked in reply to chantelleW]

Yes love a bit of Eurovision. How did the weekend go? First few are always tricky

[chantelleW in reply to Jampacked]

Ok I think - more tired than I expected. We did a dry January last year and I had rubbish sleep for the first week. This time I’m sleeping well but knackered in the evenings, more than usual.

Going sober is a big change for body and mind and I have heard people saying they napped more and slept more and had brain fog. Be really kind to yourself first few weeks. After work I just listened to podcasts experimented with AF drinks ate chocolate and went to bed early. It took a while before I started to rediscover things I enjoyed beyond booze. I would go with it. Sleep, recalibrate and rewire the brain with sober quit lit and podcasts.
