No, i didn’t drink…
I just woke up feeling that i had drunk at least two bottles of wine or prosecco last night. I had a headache – was probably dehydrated – and extremely tired, even after having gone to bed at 22.15 last night. Hovered around until the kids went to school (7.30), then lay down on the sofa and slept again until shortly after nine, after which i felt much better.
I work 4 days a week and today is my day “off”.

One of my main reasons for not drinking for the moment, are the summer holidays which we will be spending two weeks thereof in Greece. I want to look good in a bikini (or at least not like a stranded whale…)

The second reason – my kids – #1 is 16 and #2 13.
I’ve been doing the nightly bottle (to 1.5) for way too long. And seeing that #1 has arrived at the legal drinking/smoking age (beer and wine where we live) i need to be more of a good example, instead of drowning my sorrows, fears or overwhelm in alcohol.

There are many more reasons which i will go into in another blog. I just want to get started here before time goes too fast and I don’t remember what this was all about…

I’ve spent the last week reading blog after blog of ladies around my age becoming non-drinkers, sober or whatever other adjectives are valid.

I decided that 2016 is my year. Take care of myself body, mind and soul. This is the first step – even if we are already past mid June. You gotta start somewhere, sometime.
