I feel ridiculous asking this as a grown woman who should be able to sort this out but I’m struggling and thought someone might have a genius idea that I haven’t come up with.
I don’t want to stop drinking entirely (part of my job is entertaining/lunches and I enjoy that part of it) but we’ve got into a rut of drinking Friday-Sunday and, more often than not, that turns into nearly a bottle of wine each.
Every week I tell myself that I won’t drink the next weekend but, by the time Friday comes around I’m all set for a relaxing glass of wine at the end of a working week. Then it snowballs and I end up drinking every other night weekend.
If someone could even give me a strategy for just having one night of drinking that would help. Or how to stop at one glass?
My weight is starting to creep up and I know if I can kerb the drinking it would help.
TIA

These helped me:

Start drinking later in the evening

Drink pretty much anything other than wine, preferably something fizzy as you'll get full/bloated and slow down
