It started as a health initiative at work to choose an "alcohol-free" day but I decided to take it a step further and stop drinking till the end of 2009.
The hardest part about not drinking is saying no to people who offer you drinks. Especially to those who are VERY good at describing the benefits of alcoholic drinks. It was even harder resisting my favourite red, cabernet savignon.
Being someone who finds it extremely hard to say no (in general), it was quite a breakthrough. And it has been an amazing experience staying sober. Whilst saying that, there is absolutely nothing wrong with drinking. I just chose to see how it was on the other side and I enjoyed it all the way.
It is the last day of the year and I am ecstatic to proclaim that I have stayed off alcohol for five months!
Here's to more challenging and eye-opening 104s for the new year!
