3 days - No Wine - Amazeballs

Ok... I know that for most people.. they will be like.. "3 days without drink...big deal...not..." but for me... that really is a big deal... I couldn't tell you the last time I went without alcohol for more than 48hours...which in it's self is horrific... so to go 3 days and still not giving in is great... also Biggy had a beer last night (which I don't like) but he offered me a glass of wine and I said no...just like that... Biggy did point out that I am going after the placebo effect...and I totally agreed... I am drinking Elderflower cordial with sparkling water and frozen berries on top in a large wine glass... the berries give the drink a reddy colour so looks a bit like rose wine (if I stretch my imagination) and the fact it's in a wine glass makes it feel more special... My drinking was/is totally a habit and a reward after a hard day...so it's good to try and get out of this.. on top of this like I have been saying alcohol does really mess with my head and I just don't want that anymore... I have enough thoughts in my head when I'm sober let alone when I have had a drink...
 
 
Today I am feeling really healthy...but not just in regards to food but actually in  my body... I feel lighter and (don't laugh) but cleaner as well... which is amazing as I had another sleepless night last night due to the roadworks... I went to the gym this morning and was running so late as really had to force myself out of bed.. I only had time for 20 minutes on the bike machine and had to move from the normal bike to the one with a back rest as did have my head on the dashboard within 2 minutes while on the normal one... but after I moved I did do a straight 20 minutes and started to have a good sweat on..
 
Tonight I am meeting friends for a drink and a catch up and am not going to be drinking...I want to go 10 days straight without it...and then we will see how I feel.... wish me luck!!!
