Cutting Down Alcohol Thread

Loving this thread!
I had a terrible night 2 weeks ago, drank way too much and hated hearing all the stories the next morning from my friends about what I'd done and what I'd said. Embarrassing!!!
I decided from that point I was going to see how long I could go without drinking. I've never been one to have just a glass of wine on a Friday, I can and have gone weeks without alcohol but then when big nights out arrive or we plan to go out for drinks I can't just have 1 nice glass of wine it always leads to bottles or doubles then shots!
13 days without no alcohol so far and I am feeling GREAT!
It’s been made easier by the fact that I have had the quietest weekends, I’ve not been in a position where I’m in a bar and wanted to drink. Mr has had a few beers at home but I’ve not been tempted. It’s the best feeling waking up on a Saturday/Sunday and not having a hangover! I feel like I’ve got so much more energy.
I have my works doo on the 7th Dec and it’s an all-inclusive bar I’ve already agreed with myself that I’ll be drinking then and over Xmas. What I want to be able to do is have a few drinks and not go crazy with shots and doubles sprits!
My next challenge will be my friends 30th we have a night out planned at the moment I’m telling myself that I’m not drinking and I’ll buy alcohol free cocktails or lime and soda (without the vodka) so that I feel like I am? I’ve got a feeling temptation might creep up on me though!!

Day 8. For some reason I’m feeling a bit weak. I want wine this evening. It’s Friday. .
But I know i shouldn’t. 1 glasss will likely be 1 bottle. That will ruin what I’ve done. Give me a hangover and I’ve a busy Saturday. People will be relying on me. I need a clear head. So I won’t drink tonight. But it defers it to Saturday. I’m away in a hotel. Tricky
What do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.0 -
