THE END

Alcohol Free February has come to an end and while I havent lost the weight I wanted to I have learned a lot about myself. I realise I am the sort of person who cant have a glass of wine or a piece of chocolate I have to finish the whole thing. I slipped up a couple of times but got myself back on track the next day. Part of the problem was that Rob and I have the same addiction and if we were both feeling down it was hard for one of us to encourage the other to stay on track. I know now that I can deal with most of lifes knocks without the booze and have to have more backbone to deal with other harder knocks. Do I regret doing this? No, in fact I am glad I did. Will I drink again? Yes, but only on special occasions or socially with friends but not as an everyday habit which it had become. When I do have a drink I will go and buy a good wine and savour it and not buy cheap plonk and drink it like cooldrink.
