Two months down already!

This weekend was a toughie. Work was mental last week, then it was my bestie’s birthday at the weekend, so we went out for a meal then drinks.

The first two months have been a bit of a doddle so far. I think this is because my partner in crime (aka drinking buddy) has also been off the booze since new year. This weekend however, she was back on it. Everyone was on it! And i was quite apprehensive about it.

I dropped my friend’s cake and balloons off at the restaurant on saturday and while I was there I checked their non alcoholic drinks situation, which made me feel a bit better. You may think this is a bit extreme, but when you are feeling a bit weak anyway, preparation is key!

The meal was lovely. We had amazing food and laughed til my cheeks hurt! I discovered a new rose “wine” which was actually lovely, then I was able to play taxi to everyone back to the village for round 2.

It was a nice feeling to have control, and also be able to go whenever I wanted. I was also able to look after all the pressies and balloons so nothing got lost. Secretly, I quite like playing mum! Although, I now know you most definitely do need booze to keep going; we started at 3 and I was in bed for 10. Some of the girls carried on til 6!! I’m too old for that shizzle!

Overall, a lovely weekend. And once again, there was no reason at all to feel apprehensive.
