30 Days!
Today is day 31 - I cannot remember the last time I didn't drink any booze for that long, probably since the early nineties. I have done 28 days a few times, and normally I would commence the Victory Binge on day 29. I don't feel like drinking anything at all at the moment. Overall it's gone really well compared to some stories I read on here, a little bit of anxiety here and there, but I don't feel I've been in danger of having a drink.. There's an open bottle of wine in the fridge (wife's cooking wine) that's been there since mid-December, it hasn't tempted me. I notice it in there sometimes, and actually it makes me feel good to see that it's still there and I haven't knocked it off and sneakily replaced it with another one (after drinking half of it to make it look like it was the same one).
I've realised that my main 2 triggers are boredom and stress, particularly work-related stress. I thought it would be social occasions that would be the hardest, but so far they haven't been. I am back to running every other day and have lost a few kg too which is the icing on the cake.
So far so good. Although the 30 days it hasn't been a struggle, I know that could change at any moment, so I'm not taking anything for granted. I am feeling good and looking forward to the future.
Thanks
