What have I done?

After my big decision on Saturday I started to contemplate what I had done. Giving up alcohol for a year is going to be a huge challenge. As I’m getting married at the end of the year, I have my stag do to get through without alcohol! I started to question if I’ve done the right thing.

I then started to worry about social events and how I would cope without a drink. The year’s social calendar went flicking through my head and the more occasions I thought of the more worried I became.

Another area of worry was the mandatory Friday night beers. Popping into the off licence on the way home from work and picking up a four-pack to wash away the working week was a common part of the start to the weekend. Not anymore.

So I await the first Friday and the first social outing as the real test to my challenge. Fingers crossed I come away unscathed.
