i did it !!!!!! 2 years today alcohol 🍷 free !!!! where to start !!!!!! i didn’t believe i would do a night - week- when i started this journey ! alcohol had become such a s**tty habit !!!! happy, sad, celebrating, relaxing, holidaying, being social ! never needed an excuse …. but these were one of many ! the weight gain- swollen face - bags under eyes - dehydration - dizzy spells - not a nice person when drinking - bad decisions - the money - the mental health stuff (hangxiety) ! that’s all a thing of the past ! i look at that first louis vuitton bag i bought with my money saved from not drinking and i am so bloody proud 🥲 anyway …. 2 years down !!!!! if i can do it anyone can !!!!

Another month. …. 1 year 8 months ! 90 weeks - the 6 week challenge has been made so much easier because I don’t drink ! I hated being good all week then putting it back on after a bad weekend ! I never say never … but honestly, there isn’t a positive reason which could outweigh my negative reasons to start again ! Watch this space 🌼

Out to dinner on a school night - no worrying if I’m gonna make a ‘d’ of myself ? How bad I will be in the morning ? Can I do the school run ok ? Can I exercise tomorrow if I feel like crap ! May even push the boat out and have a virgin mojito (tasted like an alcoholic one! Without the ensuing drama 🎭) x

🌱 For all you out there struggling with dry July with this s**t weather and recent covid lockdown- kudos to you if you’ve kept going …. and if you’ve ballsed up reset and refocus tomorrow - Monday is a new week - here’s some hints to help and support you - write a list of what’s negative about drinking - add up the money you will save and either put it in a jar or save it in seperate bank account and by something you wouldn’t usually - at night have a Coke Zero or a kombucha in a wine glass with a slice of lemon 🍋 - if you want to get strong and lean and healthier too during dry July do an evening half hour online fitness class of some kind (I cycled between 6-7 tonight) - then …. when you wake up in the morning - no headache - no dry mouth - safe to drive - not tired - no anxiety 😴 remember that feeling …. every bit of it … smile and remind yourself daily how good it feels x x x you have got this x x Claire - Lovegrove Health and Wellness
