No booze.
I actually put a couple of beers in the fridge to chill last night; but was so engrossed in American Horror Story (and feeling a bit headache-y) that I didn't drink them.
Plus, I was thinking that I've not had a drink for so long, it would be wrong in some way to end that now. Strange. I think I have built it up in some way and made it important when it shouldn't be.
Or, maybe it should be important? Maybe I should be considering very carefully whether or not to drink, and my default approach should be 'no'? There is a checklist of questions for a process at work, and one of the questions is' why not?'. I think that's where I've been going wrong in my drinking thinking - I've asked 'why not' and shrugged my shoulders and opened the bottle, i.e. I haven't thought about it properly. Maybe those should be my questions to myself before having a drink in future:
Why should I?
Why shouldn't I?

No booze.
That was a surprise. I was considering having a drink yesterday but the opportunity never presented itself. And I didn't do anything to engineer a situation where I could say, 'oh, yes please, mine's a large carafe of red wine'. So I continue on, on the wagon.

No booze.
Another busy one. I picked the girls up from a friend who had already opened the rioja, but she offered me tea. I didn't even smell the bottle, that's how good I was. Thinking back, it didn't cross my mind.

No booze.
It was a busy day, with a conference call from 9pm until 10:30pm. I could have done with a wind-down. But that would have turned into a bottle of wine, or for cans of beer , and I'd have been feeling rubbish about now.

No booze.
Unplanned dinner at a neighbour's house. I could have done with a drink early on, but that faded as the night went on.

No booze.
A nice random dinner out with the family, a propos of nothing, just because it's good to be alive and have a couple of quid to splurge on a nice dining experience ('Food' of Worthing, since you ask).
Lucky boy.

No booze.
That's 100 days sober. Quite the milestone. I've managed pretty well, I think. Yes, there have been some occasions where it's been tough, and it has been a little uncomfortable talking about it, but I've done it. 100 days sober. I still look at the bottles of Isle of Jura every time I go into the Co-Op, but I pass over the wine selection. I still feel inadequate at house parties and business functions, and would like to be able to hide in a bottle, but I've not done it.
I think it's unlikely I'll get to 200 days , but you never know.

No booze.
As I finish Day 99, it seems strange to me that I would have spent such a portion of my life in a bottle. I don't seem to have any more money in my pocket now, but I certainly owe less. I don't seem to be sleeping much better, but she says I'm on a better mood. Hmm.

A works night out, a pub quiz no less, but still no booze. I felt better for it today.
