It'sssssssssssss Christmas!!!! Well, nearly .....

It'sssssssssssss Christmas!!!!  Well, nearly .....  and that means my year long challenge to give up alcohol is almost over.  There have been weddings, engagement parties, holidays, days out and events and I have managed to do them all without booze.  Super proud of myself - I thought I would struggle, but it's actually been much easier than I thought and I am seriously considering being alcohol free forever.  There are so many advantages to not drinking and so many great alternatives.  I have noticed pysical changes i.e. less bloating and brighter, clearer skin and of course no hangovers or feeling MEH the next day .... it's also very empowering to know that I can drive myself and everyone else home at the end of the evening - no more worries about getting back safely.  So, December is almost upon us and then Dry January, which kick started all of this off ....

October update

Today is the 3rd October and is the day of the Pink Ribbon Foundation's annual PINKLondon gala - and the first one in 10 years that I won't be raising a glass of prosecco - instead it will be a glass of sparkling Elderflower :) 

I have survived numerous night's out and even an All Inclusive holiday without booze - and it's actually not that difficult ..... what will happen after the year is up????  I think I may actually stay booze free, wow!!!

Going into August

So there have been some key points so far this year without alcohol - including birthday parties, a trip to Rome and a Reggae Festival ... now that we enter August, I am hoping to plan a holiday and wondering if the usual All Inclusive package is even worth bothering with this year :)

I'm still finding it fairly easy and enjoying the non-alcohol options such as zero gin and beer - I'm now starting to wonder what will happen at the end of 2024 and whether I will continue to abstain.  Another milestone on the horizon is our annual PINKLondon charity gala dinner, to launch October's Breast Cancer Awareness Month.  This year will be the 10th party that I have organised and the first one without alcohol .....
