My wine days were everyday, always an excuse. But not today. Like you say such nonsense to find excuses for drinking. I need to batter up my excuses to stay sober and alive. Thanks for popping by. Much appreciate it, like, tonnes. xDaisy Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06655799879447853508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8816666332655403098.post-19656077707346116752014-10-14T10:09:28.211-07:002014-10-14T10:09:28.211-07:00Hi Daisy, I followed you across from LivingSober a...Hi Daisy, I followed you across from LivingSober and I've really enjoyed your blog. Like Lucy, I love the way you have mixed up your routine around the house. I find a lot of my drinking is down to habit, I usually have wine doing this so I'll have wine. It's a lazy habit. It's easier to drink than not to drink. Not any more, I'm on day 5 today and plan to keep going. I love the shopping tip as well. After dinner trips to the shops for wine were my downfall early in the week. After Thursday the wine was in because it was the weekend and OK to drink! Such nonsense.<br />Anyway just wanted to drop a note and say well done to you and thanks for the blog. Keep up the great work.<br />Rose Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8816666332655403098.post-29350194788952642602014-10-14T02:53:10.810-07:002014-10-14T02:53:10.810-07:00Lucy I love the way you write.

But she's so stressed/alone/overburdened normally I know with me its 'switch off relax time', we don't drink day time. So maybe a wee change of routine might be good. As for the other chums, I'll fend them off as and when. They see my husband as 'controlling' my drinking, rather than me wanting to cut down for me. Relationships are odd. As for hangovers, no thank you but be nice when the fears stop.

Good plans re friends too. Maybe your 'still drinking but trying to cut down' friend and you could choose to not drink together? The paranoia, or 'fears' as they're also know, will ease up with time the longer you don't drink. They are a hangover (haha) from your old drinking days :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
