2 months since my last alcoholic drink.

Up until the end of January I was drinking 2-3 sometimes 4 or even 6 large vodkas every day.
I didn't think it was a lot but maybe now I might have been getting to be an alcoholic.
My face was bloated and I was going up in dress size.
One day I looked in the mirror and hated how I was looking.
That day I just stopped. My tipple now is lemonade with a dash of lime.
My skin is looking clearer there is hardly any bloating now.
And the best thing is that I've lost 12 pounds.
My food intake has changed.
If I go out with people who drink it doesn't bother me.

I've realised that there are 3 bottles of vodka and 2 bottles of wine in the cupboard.
Will be taking them to the local church who are having a tombola on Monday.
All have been birthday or some other presents. Is that how people saw me.
