In fact, I’m on Day 219 today.

After a number of false starts, for this one I basically went cold turkey.

So far so good and I found to turn down an offered whiskey (my favourite one nogal), red wine or beer, was much easier than expected.

My family & friends respect & support my changed water wagon lifestyle, which is hugely appreciated.

This is so inspiring, thank you for sharing!
I also find it is much easier to turn down a drink if I already have something non-alcoholic prepped in the fridge or in my hand. Something about also drinking out of a glass bottle or can made it easier to choose a 0% Savannah or coke over a cider or gin.
