Hello, it's just gone 5am and I'm sat thinking about how much i drink, far too much is the answer! So today is day one of breaking the cycle, no more evenings drinking wine, I'm swapping for soda water, I've done it once before so I can do it again.
I'm putting this on here so it's physically somewhere and not just in my head if that makes sense.

Well done, happy to join you. I've previously tried to give up but slipped into bad habits again, I really want to succeed at total abstinence

Me too, it's easily done isn't it? My husband loves a drink in the evening and I started doing him again and it's gone down hill from there. When I stopped i felt amazing had more energy and wanted to actually do things so longing to get to that point again!
Good luck to you, let's check in with eachother see how we're getting on?

Day one is complete, no drinking last night and I'm feeling positive. Determined to keep this up!

Me too, Woke up feeling like I've actually slept properly! Luckily we have a busy bank holiday weekend so won't have time to sit in the garden with a glass of wine like normal. Do you have any nice plans for the weekend

@loveforautumn hoping to get on top of the garden this weekend, and a family visit. I will be more productive with a clear head, that's the plan!

I’ll join you, too. Today is my day one. My drinking is getting out of control and I’m really worried about it.
