It started to go a bit wrong when an alcohol rep from a well known vodka company came in to have a chat to my husband re: our business (we have our own fashion business). They want to give us free vodka cocktail branded in our business name so that we can give out to our clients (we have a lot of well known clients). Sounds great - but involved us tasting different vodka cocktails - even though tried to abstain - this was not possible!
Later that evening I resisted having a drink in the bar after work - had orange juice instead. We made our way home and were having a very relaxing evening - at 9pm a good freind that we have not seen for some time decides to come round laden with 5 bottles of wine. He was in a paticulary good mood as he had cycled 60miles for a charity and wanted to celebrate this with us. What could I do - I felt that I could hardly refuse a drink to celebrate his achievement -of course one drink led to another and then another....(+ some other stuff) I did not feel as bad as I should have the next day (maybe 10 days of AF cleared my system out a bit)
I was prity dissapointed with my self. Maybe I should not set my self unrealistic target of total abstinence - because so many aspects of my life involve alcohol - however, I know that drinking is affecting my chances of having a baby (currently on fertility treatments)
Any suggestions of how I can improve my willpower?
