I just alluded to this on Hanna's post but have been wondering what you all think. I have been nearly 15 weeks AF, my partner nearly 11 weeks. We decided (having survived Christmas Day) that we could have a brief trial period of introducing alcohol while on break between Christmas and NY. Neither of us saw this as a long term thing - more a reaffirming message for the New Year based on a short term experience after some time genuinely enjoying AF time.
We are finishing this time right now (in time for NYE) both convinced that alcohol is not where we want our lives to go. I am just wondering if anyone else has tried this, successfully or unsuccessfully, or has any other insights into this as a tactic for thinking about long term sobriety?
At the moment this has us saying yes, we are reaffirmed as non-consumers of alcohol for another year at least (we are trying to be open minded about where this leads us, that is, open to long term rules but for the moment taking it one step at a time). We are also trying not to be too in each others' pockets about it although I have to say we both work well and not so well together in this respect!
Anyway, any advice/observations welcome.
I hope you are all well on the cusp of 2015. I can't wait for a fresh new year, even though last year wasn't too bad for me at least ;-)
Best wishes, TTBH
