And one thing I forgot...you know when you're on holiday and it's the end of a nice day.. there might be one time when you see someone having a nice, chilled, glass of booze. And you think.. "I want that". You know what I found, it's often just the nice, chilled aspect that's tempting. Now at home when I'm really thirsty or hot (rare in the UK at the moment, with all this rain) I realise that's all it is. I have ice cubes and relax. It's usually sparkling water with grape or orange juice. Same on holiday. I honestly used to think recovering alcoholics were lying when they said they enjoyed soft drinks just as much, I realise that's not the truth now. I had plenty of fresh juices when away and sparkling water, I didn't miss out, it was just re-framing it all and realising I enjoyed nice cool drinks.
