Well, it’s almost one week down and it’s been pretty easy to avoid drinking so far. I worked all weekend, so that may have helped. I’m pretty accustomed to having a glass of wine when I get off work, but have avoided that.

I decided to give up drinking for Lent for a few reasons. Firstly, too many lines on my financial statement were taken up by the name of my local bar. Secondly, I wanted to give my liver a break. Thirdly, I probably haven’t stopped drinking for this long consecutively since I started, so I want to see if I can do it.

Hopefully the next few weeks go as well as the first! Good luck to everyone else on this!
