Please help me get through tomorrow

[OnAPostItNote]

Ok. No big deal but I have a lunch tomorrow and I am dreading slipping back into my wine habit. I’m so weak. I am 6 days with no booze only just starting to get rid of the terrible headaches. It would be a shame to revert to form. There will be 4 of us. One never drinks. I need to find a way of relaxing without wine. It is fun but I drink way too much. This is the first Friday night without wine in decades.

Well done you, you are making a huge step! Sorry to hear about the headaches, were you drinking daily before? Have you looked at the menu for the lunch place and planned out what you are going to drink? That helps me sometimes xx

@NewtoHolland thanks for your reply. I wasn’t drinking daily but 4 times a week. And I had started the odd ‘wee sneaky one’. So not great. I’ll probably opt for Tonic water. I like non alcoholic Guinness with a dash of Ribenna. It’s like a dessert. Amazing.

Mocktails it is!!! You will be fine! You don't want to do that withdrawal again

There will be one moment where you will really desperately want the wine and all the good feelings and fun. It passes and then you get on with it and cope. Just get through that one moment . Remember even if it feels good drinking you will be really pissed off withyourself afterwards. Have a nice lunch.

@Peppermint81 indeed!

@Menopants thanks. I do need to be stronger. I still have a bit of a headache and have been feeling awful so hopefully that will put me off.

@Menopants thanks for the advice
