Day 12 here, longest period of sobriety in a year, I'm driving 4 hours tonight to spend the last weekend with my sister before she emigrates from UK to Australia.
We used to really enjoy drinking together, excessively but she is supporting my plan and managing to moderate her drinking quite well.
I've told her under no circumstances am I going to drink, she agrees.
My plan;
I'm taking spicy tomato juice, cranberry juice, herbal teas, hot chocolate, tomato cup a soups, all things I have been enjoying in the evenings the last 12 days.
I'm planning on driving somewhere every night around 9/10 pm even if just to a lake, church, whatever to give me a focal point of the evening.
If they're drinking and I don't like it, I'll either go out or go to bed.
Bonus;
When our 5 kids (all under 7) wake up at 6am I am going to be bright eyed, bushy tailed, all singing, all dancing, super Mum/super Aunt.
I will remember these last 4 days together instead of them being a drunken, messy blur.
Feeling positive, have a good weekend all xxx
