So, I've been experimenting with life AF. I'd planned to do 100 days and take it from there. I'm now 74 days in with one blip at day 60 when I had a 125ml glass of prosecco because it was included with the special meal that DH had taken me out for.
Backstory is that I wasn't drinking heavily but just felt even small amounts were increasing my anxiety / affecting sleep etc Soooo, anyway, it's my birthday next week and now that I can't really remember what bothered me about alcohol (!) I'm really tempted to have a drink on my birthday and find myself dithering about it a lot. DH is away on a long work trip (i.e. weeks and weeks) and my mother's carer has been away this week so I've been a bit run ragged recently - one way or another could do with a bit of a lift. I've got the day off work for the day itself and 1 DC (aged 11) will be at home. I'd quite like to have a few friends round in the evening but if I do that I think I'll want to have a glass of wine with them. Anyone got any ideas for something else that would be fun / not-stressful to do?
What do you all most enjoy doing on special days now that alcohol is out of the equation?
