Sober Fiona day 26. I’ve so got this. Proud of me.
Honestly I don’t know why I’d even thought it would be hard. Maybe because I was drinking most nights and most of a bottle. And most of the time not getting too hammered so I could still do my runs, rides, all the hikes and bikes stuff.
But actually I got sick and tired of feeling sick and tired, so I gave myself a damm good talking to. Fiona get a grip. You are 55. You are drinking most nights. You are menopausal. Your hot sweats are not helped by wine. You have a wine belly. Ditch the poison.
So I stopped. I’d read the books, watched the motivational films and didn’t need to get the T shirt.
And I feel great. Energetic, fitter, sleeping better, slimmer. And quicker, like my brain has been turned up a notch.
The learn. If I want to do something I just do it. Because life is too short not too.
Update. I made it day 90 – the longest for decades. Then shared a bottle of wine for my partner Mike’s birthday and since then more moderated drinking. And yes I will doing Dry January (and February..?) each year, good to have a break. Sure my liver appreciates it!
