    Oops, haven't checked in for a while.  Nothing sinister, just life.

    Declaring early for today at 23/29 please.  I did have a drink with my sister last weekend, it was nice but I was conscious that I didn't want to be hungover the next day so tried to limit what I had.  Left half a bottle of gin with her (opened it last time I was there, didn't drink half a bottle last weekend!) so it's not at home tempting me.  

    Got up the morning after and went for a 2 mile walk to clear my head but didn't get very good quality sleep (due to alcohol and being away from home) so felt a bit jaded on Sunday. 

    Was concerned it might reignite the desire to drink but in fairness I haven't thought about drinking since and I'm keen not to get complacent and think I can regulate my drinking at home.  It's the habitual drinking at home / associating drinking with relaxing I need to beware.  Like Pollyanna, I'm not saying I won't drink again but I can't carry on like I was.
