I have learnt that I use alcohol in the wrong way and am an emotional drinker as much as an emotional eater. I have only craved or missed alcohol when i've needed comfort or escapism...I have not really missed it in social situations, weirdly. I think it will have changed the way I look at alcohol and will definatley make me reconsider drinking on a normal day in the week I am going to try to limit alcohol drinking to two or three times a month - these might be big sessions, but i'd rather drink then forget about it for a few weeks. I have learnt I don't need to drink straight gin on the allotment to have a good time!! and its been lovely not having hangovers and £££ missing from my wallet, nice being able to drive everywhere, nice being focused and determined in the mornings especially!
