I have actually stopped thinking about alcohol, I think that\u2019s a good sign. When I stopped thinking about having a fag with a drink on a night out I knew I\u2019d beaten the craving.<\/p>\n

One thing that is really spurring me on though is the bet I had with my fella: If I manage to not drink for 30 days he has to give \u20ac100 to a charity of my choosing. If I don\u2019t manage it I have to give \u20ac100 to a charity of his choosing.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the in-laws\u2019 45th wedding anniversary on 29th September, a Sunday, and the likelihood is that they\u2019ll take us out for a meal for lunch, probably at the sea.<\/p>\n

Now, I\u2019ve already spoken about that fresh, crisp white wine that goes splendidly with a seafood meal and my boyfriend was trying to convince me that stopping the 30-day challenge a day earlier was no biggy (actually it\u2019s 2 days earlier, technically). Either he did this to con me into losing the bet or he really doesn\u2019t give a flying fart about the challenge and probably thinks I\u2019ve done enough already. Normally I would agree! <\/p>\n

I honestly do consider myself weak willed, or let\u2019s say malleable at least \u2013 my brother suggesting we snort a drink when we were young and naive called Trevor (tequila, vodka redbull \u2013 TVR) and me agreeing is a case in point!! And I probably would\u2019ve given up giving up way before now if it wasn\u2019t for the bet (which I am DEFINITELY going to hold him to) and the blog\u2026and I really don\u2019t care if nobody is reading this as it\u2019s becoming more therapeutic than anything\u2026I highly recommend it.<\/p>\n

Talking about charities, Macmillan Cancer Support is challenging you to Go Sober for October<\/a>. They do an amazing job supporting those living with cancer; financially, emotionally and physically. If you know anyone who is going sober for October, support them! If not, well hell just go without that extra pint and give \u00a35 to a charity\u2026it\u2019ll make you feel better than that pint would\u2026.FACT!<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
