Not last Monday but the Monday before I didn't have a drink for the whole day. Also last Sunday lunchtime I didn't drink. Quite pleased with that but now aiming for a month off also.
If you can't do without [s]alcohol[/s] making pompous self-righteous statements for 4 weeks you are already an [s]alcoholic[/s] insufferable arse and should consider professional help
FTFY 😀
i struggle like mad to not drink in the week, but slowly getting it sorted. the net result is that i feel so much better, and i'm dropping weight very nicely (with a lot of help from the idave plan) - plus all the cash i save.
big thing i found was getting past that kids in bed, dinner done, work computer off - sit down and have some wine to relax habit.
so what i do is keep some sparkling spring water in the fridge for after dinner and at about 10.30pm have a horlicks light (the chocolate one, and yes i know not idave freindly but got to be better than a bottle of red) which utterly knocks me out.
I have recently switched to having a pint of shandy made with diet lemonade. I now prefer it to a regular beer - normally just have the one pint as I cook dinner then that's me done.
One sure-fire way of cutting out drinking at home is to have a wife who is tee-total, regularly states that she wishes you didn't drink alcohol, gives you a slightly sad disappointed look when you arrive home with a bottle of red in the shopping, and then uses most of it for cooking ...
