You've had one backwards step after 86 forward ones. But you're still on the right pathThat was why I capitulated today
i know i will drink in Istanbul and I too
was worried a bit how I would feel after drinking
having had a big break from it,
so with everything in place today
going in my favour I broke my promise.
My streak really is the only thing that keeps me going some days. There's been a couple of times when I've literally been standing in the wine aisle, choosing a bottle, when the only thing that's stopped me is the thought of how I'll feel the next day when my streak is gone.I won’t be going mental, but I thought it would be nice to have a few drinks with friends for the journey. Still feel horrible today though and part of me wishes I hadn’t broke my run
Plug your phone into a charger quickly, for fucks sake!Lol full casks of whisky for £2500 being advertised on the giving up booze threadView attachment 81323
I got that Jet2 alert too. Their city breaks are really good. But July and August aren't great months for tramping round in the height of SummerLol full casks of whisky for £2500 being advertised on the giving up booze threadView attachment 81323

2 years and 1 day since my last drink. Ironically the night of our last CL final...
After a few weeks of massively reining it in to below 30 units a week had a couple of pretty heavy weeks of about 70 units a week the last fortnight.
Got Wembley and Istanbul coming up too. Problem is, there’s always a fucking excuse. Work doesn’t help, where it’s on offer all the time.
Didn’t find cutting down too much of a chore, but it creeps back in so easily.
Think I’ve got to knock any impromptu trips to the local and drinking from home completely on the head if I’ve got a chance of keeping my drinking below dangerous levels.
Realise my ‘struggles’ aren’t on the same page as many on here, who I respect greatly for their efforts and commitment.
Yes, I use the Try Dry app. I'm obsessed by the rows of yellow teacups.you tracking your streak? I Am Sober is a great app.

Is exactly the right way to look at it I would suggest - don't cain yourself @blue44 .............You've had one backwards step after 86 forward ones. But you're still on the right path
I've cut down considerably but I knew Id have a drink before Madrid match because I was so nervous. I'll have a couple during the cup final, then none until the CL final the following week.
Im drinking a lot less, losing weight, my blood pressure is down 40 points. I'm sure your health has improved as well
