Need to start thinking about next month and how to approach it. If I just say I'm not going to drink then that makes it clear-cut, I'm just not sure if that's realistic as I have a week off work at the end of the month.

It's a tricky one, trying to decide how to deal with highdays and holidays. When I stopped altogether it was very straightforward - from then on I wasn't going to drink for 100 Days, with a view to making it permanent. I just needed a concrete target to aim for and without it, the contributions from everyone on here and Belle's support I'm not sure I'd have made it.

When I was still drinking, one of the reasons I didn't stop was because I genuinely didn't know how I would be able to celebrate my birthday, achievements, Christmas, other people's birthdays etc etc. Now it's very simple - I can celebrate anything, but I don't use booze to do so.

Deciding in advance how you want to deal with holidays - which were the least of my concerns but matter to a lot of people - is how you decide what it is you want your relationship with alcohol to be. The way to make whatever you decide work is to have a strategy, and mine involved Beck$ B1ue.

Both neighbours on our right did dry January using it after they bought some for me and drank it themselves! She's now decided she doesn't want to go back to drinking wine at all and hasn't even had a tempting G&T yet. She says she doesn't really want one, which is what happens after a period of abstince for some people because the quality of life improves so much.

Good luck with whatever you decide.

I think I am going to go for 100 days AF just to prove to myself that I can so that means I have to do all of March and April as day 100 is 30th April

Good luck with it Paspatur - I found racking up the days really encouraging and Belle herself absolutely brilliant. Most days we just swapped smilies, but it made all the difference.

25/28 please, Baileys.
