One Month without Alchohol

Stand Firm

So January has come and gone!

My main observations on my year without alcohol so far are that:

• The thirty-one days have passed quickly
• Not drinking is easier than expected
• I've enjoyed interacting with like minded people on Twitter
• I have saved by not spending money on alcohol
• I've had dreams about drinking...
• ...and then felt relieved that it was only a dream
• I don't have any particular cravings for alcohol
• I enjoy waking up at weekends with a clear head
• People that I know have accepted that I don't drink (well mostly)
• I've been thinking that after this year is over, I might just not drink for good (still undecided)

So overall I feel that the positive effects of not drinking far outweigh the perceived benefits of booze.
