I had a good night, but was fiddling with jewellery constantly.I am so pleased I made it,so almost said sod it I'll have a wine.Did have the feeling I was missing out for chunks of the evening - but then decided that I wasn't.Funnily enough I don't mind my friends being drunk,I thought that they would bug me, I'd have a dull night but actually it's fine. Some people do but they're the ones on the periphery on my social group who bug me anyway!
one thing I think that helped was I made sure I told people if they asked me that I wasn't drinking - would have been harder to cave in then.Though in earlier days that would have made it harder for me. Earlier on in AF I just said, I don't feel like it. I think cos now I can say well I've done 21 days that helps me sound and feel more credible to myself
Most of my friends have been supportive to be honest as this has gone on, which is nice to see only 1 really who has actively encouraged me if I said I wanted one/wanted a fag.Think they just think it's a bit weird!
Was scared that I would drink, I'm going to be AF until 17/02 - other half's birthday and then would like to go af again after that. I have questioned why though it makes a difference if I drink or not that night.
I plan to moderate on that night.I actually think that I need to test if I can moderate - and to be quite honest there is an element of social pressure too.
I will go AF again then until my birthday at beginning of April when hopefully I will have lost lots of weight - marvellous.Then I will go AF again.My long term goal was moderation but depending how those 2 nights go it may be AF.
Day 22 for me- big shock never thought I'd make it this far- longest I have ever gone since I was sixteen is 13 days.
thank you for all your support and inspiration - not sure I could have done it without you.
