Champagne and Sobreity

So, after New Year's eve, I made a promise to myself to not drink for an entire month because of a couple of reasons. I needed a break from alcohol, I needed a goal and I needed to prove to myself that I could actually fulfill something that I set out to do.

And I've made it..! I've turned down so many drinks - even from director's who wanted me to drink for real because the shot would look more realistic if I was. I've ordered coke or some other soda when we have been to bars and I've never even cheated.

So to celebrate, we decided to have champagne at midnight on January 31st - me, Jonna and Christian, who are in town for a week. And....drum roll.... for the first time in many years when I've been out with friends, I could put the lid on, meaning, I didn't feel the need to get absolutely stupid - and I love it.

Lesson learned, kilos dropped (around 3-4kg in a month, just from quitting alcohol completely) and I feel much better and more comfortable around alcohol right now. I pat myself on the shoulder today, not only because I'm not hungover but because I think I now know how to be more mature around drinks.

Don't be a stranger! Loves
