No booze.
It's been 58 days since I had an alcoholic drink. As I come to the 60 day mark, it's actually been quite easy. I've been jealous of others at the two parties I've been to, and I was probably on edge and not relaxed. But we've had people drinking in the house and that's not been an issue. We're heading round to friends tonight for dinner and I'm not expecting that to be difficult - in fact, I'm quite looking forward to it.
In other news, my predictive text keyboard now suggests 'no' 'booze' as the first thing I might want to write when typing.

No booze.
As we get to the end of Feb, I'm quite pleased with what I've achieved. Nearly two months without a drink, and it's fairly straightforward explaining to people that I just don't want a drink; that I was drinking too much before Christmas.
No-one has asked 'ooh, are you an alcoholic?', or 'were you worried about becoming an alcoholic?'
Maybe that's a sign of the times, we all know that we drink too much, it's just difficult to acknowledge it.
Alcoholism is a dirty word that people are afraid to use; that way lies sherry for breakfast and homelessness.

No booze.
House party - not the easiest of times. But we managed. Then, when it was home time, the children stayed playing up because it was so late they were tired. Little sods. Not an enjoyable experience.

No booze.
I'm beginning to wonder how long I can do this; go without booze, I mean. Thinking about explaining to people that I might never drink again makes me miss the taste of wine very much.
Still, I suppose if the answer is 'at least a day', I should be okay.

No booze.
We were out at Pizza Express last night with the kids and mother-in-law, and she had a dinky carafe of the house red. I had a sniff and it smelled soft and warm, and I started salivating. But I didn't have any. 45 45 days now; I think that's pretty good going.

No booze.
Could have done with a vat load though. Bloody kids. All I wanted was to watch the rugby, and they kept arguing with us. Still, I don't suppose I helped matters. Never mind.

Do u you know, I didn't even think about booze last night until it occurred to me that I needed to update this blog? Weird.

No booze.
Lucky boy.
A night out in Worthing, a Thai buffet, and socialising while others drank around me. It was a bit difficult, but I made it.

No booze.
That's a whole month without booze, and it's not like I was being a dryathlete either. Now the question is, can I maintain my 'no drinking' regime?
I didn't think, a month ago, that I would be able to manage a whole month. But here we are. And I was only twitchy a couple of days. She says I'm better company, but I feel like I've been a grouch. But then I'm no judge, I've been ripped to the tits on booze for the last three years - and those are just the ones I've been counting.
So, the long and short is; watch this space...
