Thanks Forwards 😀

It was just a coincidence I’d stopped on 1 January as that was the day I took a long-haul flight on which I had one beer. Prior to that I’d cut right down anyway, but I still had urges to drink more and that meant drinking was no longer enjoyable.

In those last months, my drinking routine was to pour my allotted daily half bottle of wine. To my credit, I never exceeded that amount, and that took huge willpower especially as I gulped down the wine and spent the rest of the evening wanting more. But that’s a miserable existence. I didn’t enjoy the wine itself nor did I enjoy that yearning for more. It’d only be a matter of time before my allowance went up to three quarters of a bottle and so on.

And the irony is half a bottle of wine a day is already a huge amount, three times over the UK recommended limit. The chances of becoming ill from that alcohol intake in future are odds on. And I was battling daily to keep to that limit 😀 Madness. It’s by far the easiest option to just quit.
