Almost caved today. Was in a pub for a meal, but couldn't figure out how to add drinks to what I was ordering. Haven't been in a pub since before lockdown and couldn't get my head around this ordering at table malarky. So when the lady came with our food, I just got a diet coke.
I'm feeling much better from not drinking, was up and in the shower before the boss sent me any work this morning, so that's a result. I was finding that because I didn't have to get up to take children to school and because I am still working from home, I would just get, roll downstairs, have a coffee and then start work. So much easier than having to get dressed and get a train to work, so didn't really matter if I had a few the night before!
I am up to 4/20 as it is almost 9pm and I'm not going to start having anything now.Pink Sproglettes born 2008 and 2010
