It doesn't actually taste totally like wine - it's a fizzy grape juice, quite sweet. It's an Asda 'Extra Special' Alcohol Free Muscat that I bought months and months ago when I was planning on embarking on a stint of drinking less which didn't amount to much.
That's fab Dona, rather than that internal debate, you just discounted it completely. As I said earlier my DH is out tonight but instead of using it as an excuse to booze on my own later on, me and DS settled down with some crisps to share and watched Frozen before tucking him up in bed, much more enjoyable.
I'm feeling more comfortable with not drinking at home now, but since starting out on this 2 weeks ago something I've been worried about is the fact that we're going away on an All Inclusive foreign holiday for a week before Christmas. This is going to be a big challenge and I'll need an action plan. So far this consists of:
Loading lots of inspirational books onto my Kindle
Planning on having nice non-alcoholic drinks which I enjoy
At the start of the evening reminding myself how great I'll feel the following morning if I don't drink
Eating a big evening meal and dessert each night - my danger time will be before dinner, once I'm full I'm hoping the desire to drink will be gone
Hopefully having internet access so I can check in here
Tackling it one day at a time instead of worrying about the whole week right at the start
Any further suggestions/advice gratefully received, I'm worried that I'll need all the help I can get!
