Blogger speaking
We are already a week further. I found the first days really difficult. Like you're always missing something. It will be the same when you quit smoking or when you walk somewhere and think you have lost your phone; )
Now that I've made it so clear that I pass, I pass. Because I want it, and I can.
Eating with the children is still the same as before. One doesn't like this and the other doesn't. The wine as a distraction is just an addiction. I only now see how I think and how your brain works.
The benefits after this week: I sleep much deeper and wake up more rested. Those are nice benefits.
I do notice that I have more appetite for tasty things in the evening. That means being strict and paying attention for me. I had just lost a few pounds.
So a double challenge. No wine and no snacking. But I can! I pass!
I'll tell you in advance that I canceled a party on January 28th. Anyway, because of corona I don't feel like this kind of gatherings anymore, but because I don't drink I don't look up the wasp's nest either.
