Huzzah!
That probably makes things sound a lot worse than they are. It isn't that I can't spend a single day without booze, it's that New Years Day without booze is very difficult. As I usually drink at family gatherings I'm not used to be sober. This is an issue when most of the older members of the group see it as an excuse to drink a little too much.
I should probably have just got on with it a while ago, but I really do find it difficult to enjoy myself when everyone around me is getting drunk. It is part of the reason why I decided to take on not drinking for a month. I want to see if my social life, usually centred on a quiet drink or two of an evening, dies a death if I don't, in fact, drink. I know it is very possible to have a night in the pub here or there without a drink, but if every time I go it gets to the stage I feel "sober" - read they are drunk - I just won't enjoy it as much.
Well one day down and most of day 2 also in the bag, Uni starts back for me this week so we'll see if coffee/tea/sodas can fill the gap sufficiently, and if I am any better for it.
