I really missed Prosecco this weekend!

After Christmas I wanted to cut down on alcohol. Generally I have a bottle of wine and a bottle of Prosecco every weekend.

I said I'd go without any Thai weekend but I've really missed it. Does that make me addicted?!?
I never drink anything in the week and never want to but weekends don't seem right without it!

Could you just have one of those little bottles each weekend, rather than cutting it out entirely?

Not physically addicted. Your brain is being triggered is all. Need to try to distract yourself with other things or reward yourself some other way for abstaining.

It’s habit. If you only drink at the weekends it’s unlikely you are addicted or you would want to drink in the week as well.

Weekends are hard because so many of us associate the weekend with drinking.

I had a drink at least 5 nights a week in December (might only have been a small Baileys but still...)
Doing dry January and didn't miss it but I have lemon water in a gin glass to make it feel I'm having a drink. I do miss it but you don't need it - you know that yourself
