A week of moderate drinking 2 months ago

Weds night at friends gathering i had 3 large white wine spritzers. Was deffo tipsy but didn’t feel too bad the next day. Definitely not 100% though.

Thursday had one galss red wine with dinner. Waiter brought bottle over and topped me up while i tried to say no but ended up saying ok just half then. He had the cheeck to charge me for 2 full glasses. I was livid. I didn’t even ask for another glass. I guess some would call it good service. I call it the hard sell. He said well, you did you drink it. I reminded him that i said HALF GLASS ONLY. I didn’t even want it. If offered another drink there or anywhere else again, I will COVER my glass and look the waiter in the eye whilst saying NO THANKS.

Fri night I had 2 glasses of wine and 1 beer at bar after work. Almost cancelled but couldn’t find my phone on way home. Glad i didn’t as it was very sociable. I smoked 2 fags too. Was buzzing after first glass and first ciggie. Managed to switch to sodas for the meal afterwards. Some progress i guess.

Sunday: 1 glass white wine with lunch. Delicious. Later that evening at poker game. 2 white wine spritzers. Almost had more and suggested going to bar. I need to be careful. As i read this i see that a moderate week is still a lot for me.

No running this past week due in part to being back on booze.

Aims for this week: No booze except on Fri/Sat night 1-2 glasses only.



Day 4 3 months ago

So far so good. It’s been pretty easy really as i haven’t been around anyone drinking alcohol and am thinking more and more about trying for a baby which kinda turns me off it. Had a virgin daquiri last night at dinner. Was yummy even without alcohol. I was tired today. Just drank 3 glasses of water and fixed myself a caramel milkshake as i have a headache today. Could it be the results of detox? Maybe. Then again maybe its just a headache. Gotta BBQ this Sat. Will have to plan some creative alternatives to sickening sodas…



Reasons 3 months ago

For:
Can’t seem to stop at one
Cost
Trying for Baby
Leads to smoking
HANGOVERS :cO
Remorse
Skin/liver/backside
Drink driving accidents
Great mocktails
More energy for music making, work & hobbies

Against:
Feeling pumped after 1-2 drinks
Fine wine
Fear of being a social outcast/seen as self-important



Day 1 - good 3 months ago

No alcohol so far. Probably not going out tonight so should be pretty straightforward. Fingers x’d!
