I've not had a drop to drink since Sunday evening.

Well done Nightie!

I'm only managing 1 night off this week, I'm disappointed in myself.

I'm deffo going to have some wine tonight though.

Still, about 68 hours without.

For me, that's not too shabby.

I've not had drink in months.

Yeah, but when you do have a drink you don't mess about do you.

Carling Black Label for breakfast

I'm only doing 1 drink-free night this week, tonight. Because I think I'll need a drink tomorrow night whatever happens in the US election.

I should have planned better for that actually.

Since the above post I've brought in a rule of having strictly 2 drink-free days per week (except Christmas week, 1). It has done me a lot of good.

Today is day 2 of this week's DFDs. I had a DFD yesterday, and can look forward to delicious drinks tomorrow, so I'm in my best possible headspace.

Once again it's day 2 of 2, and I feel good, even though the people in the next room kept me awake with their telly. I had to lie sideways across the bed rolled up the duvet to be further away from the wall.

Luckily it was one of the new extra-wide beds so my feet weren't dangling off the side.

Day 2 of 2 again. What I call Ideal Day. 9½ hours' kipparoo in the bank, and I feel fine.

~The drink week~

Tue:  Come Up Night - first night's drinks. No hangover in the morning, and anticipation all day - but can't drink too much without risking a hangover.
Wed: Steadying Night - drink a bit more, minimal hangover risk.
Thu: Best Night - the last night where I'm carefree and not having to think about when the party stops
Fri: Climax Night - the last night where I get another go tomorrow.
Sat: Anticlimax Night - the prospect of getting off the ride overshadows the fun. Sometimes leads to extra drinks and drama.

Sun: Reset Day - hangover in the morning, no drinks in the evening. Busy myself with tasks.
Mon: Ideal Day - no hangover, no drinks, but plenty of anticipation.

That's one problem of taking 3 days off - it would introduce a 3rd, Neutral Day, with no hangover, but nothing to look forward to either. When I didn't drink at all for all those years, every day was Neutral Day, and it led me to a bad place in the end.

I have once again had 2 nights off the sauce, and I feel fighting fit and ready for anything

Once again I'm peak drink-free!
