I have a great routine during the week, but once the weekend hits, TGIF carries over to Sunday

Not drinking on the weekdays is easy… I have lots of routines, but when a special occasion arises, like date nights, I tell myself a glass won’t hurt. Besides it makes me feel sexy– and that’s what date night is about, right?

I have been feeling really good after taking a break from alcohol, but I feel like I’ve earned a drink for all my hard work. 

Once I start back up, I can’t stop thinking about when my next drink is and start putting limitations on my drinking habits-again. 

I can’t imagine being on vacation without a drink in hand.

The holidays are the hardest for me to stay sober. Everyone around me is full of ‘the cheer’.’ I don’t want to feel left out and not on everyone’s level during the festivities. 

It’s my party. I can drink if I want to. But secretly, I don’t really. I just want to feel young, vibrant, youthful and free. 

Everytime I ‘slip up’ I end up drinking more frequently, more often, more casually becomes a daily norm and I am tired of it. 

My friends all drink and I don’t want to be singled out. I am afraid they won’t want to hang out with me if I don’t partake.

I don’t know how to talk about my drinking or lack thereof with people. 

I seem to lose sight of why I wanted to quit drinking in the first place so I end up talking myself into a drink- just one, even though I don’t want to.

I love wine. I just love the taste of it and I enjoy the customary aspects of drinking. I don’t think AF drinks are for me. 

I find myself full of anxiety at social gatherings that it’s just easier to drink about it.

I get so mad at myself for not being able to stay sober at a girl’s night out, how am I going to get through the holidays?
