Alcohol, hints, tips, advice etc.

STILL no beer, tempted for tomorrow due to obvious and battling with my mind as to whether I should have a few beers, and back on it Monday…or not
 
Been tempted to have a few beers with the news and the big fixtures incoming, can I have a cheat day if we win the Champions league?

My last cheat day / data point / drink (however you choose to define it) was last time we made the final of the CL. Prior to that I had a 60 streak.

Sometimes I regret that one glass of Pol Roger champagne (it took something very special to tempt me), sometimes I choose to be amazed and delighted that I'd got so far already that I somehow managed to only have one!

How much will you regret it if you do? And how would it improve your experience of the big games, if at all?

I've got 2 x 12 bottle boxes of Corona 0 and a handful of limes lined up for the next few weeks (on offer at Morrisons last time I was in, great value for £16).

Whatever you decide, don't beat yourself up over it and luxoriate in the fact that we've got these huge games.
 
I have been sorely tempted to break my 20 month run for two reasons: our astounding on-field performances and the fact that my 29 years of marriage ended three weeks ago and I'm living in a room in a flat of a friend until I sort my new life out.

Fuck knows how, but I've convinced myself that I still don't need alcohol to celebrate nor to drown my sorrows. (Six hours sat in a pub on my own drinking AF beer after walking out was a very weird experience.)

On my way to God's Own to see us lift the trophy today and will raise a bottle of Mountain Spring Sparkling to the lads.
 
I hold my hands up.
I'm going to Istanbul.
None of my family will be there.
And I'm thinking I'm going to cheat,cheating to myself I know,
after all the good work and rejection
of alcohol this is my mindset.

I held out last night and I'm going today.
FA cup final in 2 weeks too to navigate which I will be able to resist I think.
But four days away for the Champs league final maybe a bridge to far.
 
Nobody will be judging anyone, nor should anyone self judge too harshly for feeling tempted by these exciting circumstances the team currently find themselves in. It's not easy. I stopped by the beers the day we played Real and was sorely tempted by a new Ukrainian lager they had on offer......warm afternoon, have a few, defuse the bomb when the Mrs gets home by having a BBQ on......all the pieces were there but I still had to say no. I try to think of a drink now as an unnecessary icing on an already tasty cake.....I could leather my cake in this icing, really squeeze the icing bag and put those little fucking swirls on it and it'll look great but when I come in to look in the morning, it'll be smushed up, melted, and I'll have to start again......it's helped me anyway......

If you can get past this temptation, there will not be many more instances that are so perfectly suited to getting pissed. Totally human if for some reason you can't get past this one - I think it's doable. Nice meal tonight maybe?
