Okay I know it isn’t *technically* the end of Sober October,
but my friends and I started two days early so we can *technically* have a
tipple or two tonight, right?
I have mixed feelings about Sober October. On one hand I
actually enjoyed it (yes, enjoyed it! Shock, horror!) Over the past few weeks,
I’ve had really productive weekends (which I need right now, what with planning
a wedding and all). AND I lost a few pounds, hurrah!
On the other hand, however, it was kind of dull. Tom and I
practically became recluses for the month, which again, was good for the wedding
planning side of things, but not so good socially-wise.
It was also strange/awful not having a glass of red with red
meat. We had steak a couple of times, a lamb tagine one evening and spaghetti
meatballs another, and I was really, really, REALLY craving a nice red. We
tried grape juice as an alternative, but no… just, no.
We’re bidding farewell to Sober October properly tomorrow
evening and having a Halloween party with booze a plenty. I know I’ll probably miss
that smug Sober October feeling on Sunday morning when I’ll just want to spend
the day lying on the sofa in my PJs, eating popcorn and watching re-runs of The
Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
I do think I’d be up for another sober month at some point and
would encourage anyone to give it a go if they fancy a bit of a detox because
you definitely do feel better for it. Unfortunately (?) I’ll be missing out on
Dry January because my hen party is on January 16th which I am so
excited about! My closest friends and I have booked an apartment in Liverpool
and we’re going to have such a fun, mad, definitely-not-dry night! x
