Well there goes my first weekend without alcohol in a very, very long time and it went surprisingly well.  Stayed in the city with my kids and would you believe the first night a bottle of champagne and some chocolates were sent up. Didn’t realise it was part of the room package! Took the bottle out of the ice and packed it in my bag for April. Don’t worry, my girls and I DEFINITELY ate the chocolates!

FIRST WEEKEND
05/01/12 • 0 Comments

Well, my first challenge is on it’s way. Like everyone, I guess, my weekends have been the time when I do most of my drinking.  Usually I’ll have a mid-week wine but I haven’t really missed it.  This weekend I’m taking my kids into the city for a couple of nights so it will be pretty G rated and I’m optimistic that it won’t be too much of a struggle.  Saturday, a friend will be  coming in to spend some time with us and apart from being my greatest friend, she has also been my greatest drinking buddy. Fortunately, she’s doing HSM as well, so we’ll be able to support each other through this first challenge. Looking forward to a sparkling water with cranberry & lemon! Good luck everyone!
