23 days in and calm

So ive hit day 23... The last couple of days ive noticed a bit of a pang hit at the end of the working day so i tried the art of distraction, I filled a wine glass with water and lemon slices and decided to give it 10minutes and see how i felt.... the moment passed. Yay i thought i was going to have a nagging voice for hours yet it didnt happen. Im noticing changes... im a lot calmer and dont overreact as much to things, i have an ability to put things into perspective with a clear head. Im loving not having hangovers and my kids and husband are proud  of me for not drinking wine! It may only be day 23 but i live the sense of calm thats entered my world. Im noticing the payoffs in all aspects of life and its a true motivator. I feel proud of myself for once in my life! Bring it on!

still here...

Its been nearly 21 days since i knocked booze on the head. I am so proud of my decision and have been surprised by my willpower. Ive now been tested by being in boozy social situations and have resisted relatively well. Dont get me wrong, i would love to devour a cold bottle of sav or on a warm bottle of pinot noir... and i am still inlove with the sight of a nice looking wine glass... but i remind myself that i cannot stop at 1 glass and i never will. That in the end that goodlooking glass ends up filled with poison and i end up rst arsed and full of remorse sporting a hangover i spend my days trying to mask! I so wish i could approach alcohol in a normal manner but i cant. My friend pointed out the other day... 'im feast or famine'.... she was so right! So im choosing famine and i intend to keep it that way!
