Afternoon all, lots if posting going on and everyone seems upbeat.
Welcome back Mari, I too fell off the wagon but have only just climbed back on - don't be embarrassed, when we're perfect then you can feel bad but until then I think you're in fine, and empathetic, company.
Welcome also Maz, I identify with a lot of what you're saying about binging.
Nirelendguy, the few times I have gone a whole evening without booze in a party atmosphere I have had to be continuously vigilant, reminding myself of how drunkI would get and how bad i would fell the next morning and how cringe inducing my behaviour wold be - that really does stiffen your resolve. Also, I find it useful to look at myself as if I was an outside observer, saying things like 'look, there's Kate feeling a bit awkward because she hasn't got a drink, it's fine though because she doesn't have to be centre of attention tonight'. It sounds a bit 'touchy feeley American' but it works for me.
If I'm still sober at the end of the night then the observation is 'Look there's Kate wondering what on earth she's still doing here when everyone else is plastered and being rather silly and boring'.Saving to pay the tax man0 -
