Stressful week

So I have had an extremely stressful week with work and am findin it very hard to not just go home and drink a bottle of wine to relax myself!! But I can’t!! Trying to find a new way to reduce my stress and relax has thus far eluded me!! I am going to try going for a walk on the beach after work next week, but might have to take up boxing or something lol!! I went away with my boyfriend and his mate fishing for the weekend, which for me would normally include a weekend of drinking. Now drinking did occur, the boys went to town with the amount the drank. But I stayed sober for the whole time, something I’m extremely proud of as I usually bow to peer pressure quite easily! But not this time!! And I have a 21st party tonight which I will also [...]

Ít\’s day 6 and I\’m shocked to realise how much I actually drink…I mean when you have a tough day at work and you come home to have a glass or two of wine, or when your car craps itself and you think this is when I need a few drinks. I realised this week that i relyed on alcohol (even if it was just a glass of wine after work) so much more than I thought I did. And I have taken more notice of ads which feature alcohol in them, there are SO many of them. I mean everyone knows that Australia has a drinking culture but it is worrying to see just how prolifent this culture is. I am so glad that I have signed up and am on my way to discovering myself without alcohol!!

It starts today…

But last weekend I disappointed my best friend for the last time. I\’m normally known with my friends for being the drunk one who gets super drunk and does something embarrassing like spew all over the place! But I decided this morning that I no longer want to be that girl, I don\’t want me friends to always think the worst of me. I want to prove them wrong and prove to myself that I\’m not that much of a drop-kick and I can be the sort of friend that people can rely on cause I don\’t write myself off. So here goes nothing….
