Im on the wagon till Christmas and bored already - please inspire me!

[Scaramoose]

After getting sick of habitual drinking* I saw it was 91 days till Christmas and decided to challenge myself to stay on the wagon until Christmas Eve. At first I felt smug and virtuous and got loads done but now, well, Im getting a bit bored. I feel thinner despite eating lots of chocolate, my face is far less puffy and I am sleeping far better. Its great but...

Its been a very stressful week and I really want to sit back and have a few chilled glasses of wine. I won't, but I am running out of sober type blogs, or articles on how amazing it is to be teetotal etc and would like some more inspiration!

• By habitual I mean most nights, even if just a glass but certainly more at weekends.

I'm drinking full fat coke, but it's not as good as a good red wine.

Bugger. I have got a lime with soda and a dash of angostura bitters on the go right now. I have previously been drinking various ginger beers, posh lemonades, Appletize and enough pink grapefruit to fill a bath. None are quite hitting the spot at the moment!

I have been at it a month so far, my aim was the week before Christmas when it's my birthday.
The benefits are there and I am so much more productive but it just isn't the same
I can't say I've actually struggled but I am increasingly bored of pink grapefruit juice too. DH and I don't normally drink in the house and I was a bit put out to discover that I was paying the same for a pint of orange juice and lemonade in the pub as I was for a pint of beer. Admittedly I drink less of it but I had imagined I would be rolling in excess cash
