3 days done! 😄

Day 4 today, keeping busy. My danger time is 6pm onwards when I am prepping and cooking dinner. I am looking for alternatives to my usual large glass of red - anyone found a good way to get through 'wine o clock' suggestions gratefully recieved.

Also, I have decided to gift myself a 'sober' treat at the end of each day, something to focus on. Tonights treat is going to be 3 Lotus biscuits and a decaf tea before bed😁

Congratulations. Watch for those acute internal dialogs. The mind can be very manipulative. Be conscious of those child like tantrums. Trick is not to succumb to those twists.

Thanks for the heads up! My internal dialog has a life of its own as it is - so I can expect it to go into overdrive!!!

I'm wondering if there are some non-alcoholic options for you. I know there are some good beer ones, but don't know about wine. You are doing great - keep it up!

Hi catsrock, I’m not sure either yet, I will need to do some rapid research before Christmas though 😱. I will post my best alternatives when I find them 👍

Thanks for the support x

There is plenty of NA wine options out there - clearly not as tasty as regular A wine - but OK.

Not what you're looking for?
