  yup - giving up has been a great choice! mostly I don’t miss it, but an extremely hard few weeks makes a glass of red in the bath sound very tempting. Here’s a herbal tea cheers to you (or whatever your muddle aged person drunk of choice is!(

    Thanks! My drunk of choice is herbal or matcha tea actually. I gave up for a few different reasons, basically the kids, the money and the health. I’d been using it as a coping mechanism for too long when it wasn’t working, the kids deserve to see better role modelling and every other adult person in their lives drinks so somebody has to not. I don’t begrudge others a bevy though.

    Good on you for not drinking when things are tough… it’s an easy way to end up with hard problems sometimes.
