As you say, temptation will come. I’m 23 months in and wanted a drink a couple of weeks back. Like you, though, I know that one drink will play havoc with my mind, and I’ll be convinced I can have one drink a day and no more. You know the rest. You’ve found life’s easier without drink so take the easy option and don’t bother.
Thanks for the update, inspiring stuff!

Twenty-three months is amazing! Well done. I hope you're reaping the benefits.
Indeed, I am certain that I will be tempted, like you were, but I know what the result will be. I am very, very fortunate that lockdown has meant all the pubs are closed, so it's really helped!

I reckon I’d have fared terribly in lockdown with my old drinking ways. The supermarkets are stacked high with booze, and I’m sad to say there will be a lot of new alcoholics as a result.
But for now, Auchie, the likes of you and I have our heads screwed on. I’m sure you’ve done some cool non-drinking stuff during the last year as I have. Drinking now would spoil all that. Keep on posting the positive stuff!
