FebFast- alcohol

[kimberleycandukan]

Ohhh Becki!!!

I'm in too deep!! Ha!

Was thinking of allowing myself this Sat and the following Friday. I will have completed 2 weeks solid by then. Sat is housemates bday party and I've already done THREE non-drinking bdays in the last 2 weeks. The following Friday is my grandads 71st bday and we're going to the casino.
Then I feel like a flake for flaking out.
But I don't know why I even decided it, and drinking on one night at the weekend is still a mahoosive big deal for me.
Then I'm only cheating myself aren't I?
But cheating what- I've done 12 days- didn't lose at WI tonight and you only live once, and I like a drink

Ohhh I don't know.

Hubby is cooking us a valentines meal and is under strict instryction to not buy wine but just 2/3 cans of diet gin and tonic and thats all im having this weekend. Little treat but no massive effect...yukky alcohol!!

Hope I'm not too late to join in on this? I appreciate we're already half way through Feb, but I've already been doing this FebFast without realising this thread was here.

I completed Dry January, without having had a drink since New Years Eve. I have to admit to a drink on 1st February, as I had a night out for my friends birthday, but since then I have been totally dry again. I even drank diet coke all night at my aunties 50th birthday party last weekend.

I know it's Valentines Day tomorrow, but even that won't tempt me to have a drink. I'm just really not bothered by it at the moment. Going to stay dry for the rest of February (and hopefully beyond!)

oh...and how are you feeling today?

Have to own to up to having had a drink on Friday night. It was Valentines Day though! Had about 3/4 bottle of Blossom Hill Vie 5.5% wine with some soda water.

The rest of February will be alcohol free though. I don't think I'm doing too bad - I completed dry January and have only had a drink on two occasions in February. I might not have been 100% dry for February, but a lot drier than I would have been this time last year!

So its the 25th February.

I have so far been alcohol free for 18/24 days!!!
It's not the booze free Feb I promised but its something.

I am contemplating trying to give it up for 40 days of lent. But I only managed 12 in a row in Feb, so I think its improbable and stupid and just me talking nonsense really.
I think I have cut down LOADS.
2 of the 6 days that I drank it was only one drink- 1 of those 2 days I poured another and chucked it.

Definitely something.

Hows everyone else doing???

I managed 26 / 28 days dry in February! After a full month of being dry in January. Feeling proud of myself and hoping to continue - committing myself to staying dry throughout March / April by "giving up" alcohol for Lent!
