So far to day 9 it’s been a breeze. Stopped drinking 9 day’s ago, broke up my relationship nine days ago and took last week off of work.

Back to the office today and everyone was heading to the pub tonight, apart from me. They have been talking about it since 3pm today ( it’s now 18.45pm.

The teeth were grinding, but thank the Lord I said No - I couldn’t help but tell them that I had a problem and I have given it up for good.

They were cool and very supportive.

I was tempted though just before I told them.

Mad props for telling your truth. The more you speak it aloud, the easier it becomes. :+1:t4:

Good for you Stephen. I can imagine how tough that was for you. You’ll be the one feeling good at work tomorrow while the rest are feeling tired and hungover.

Honesty has been my greatest weapon for a loooong time. Well done on chosing the easier AND better path. We can’t confuse the lies we’ve told if there aren’t any!
