Bye bye to my Dry February!

Well, what can I say?  Inevitably there have been moments when I have reflected on times I may normally use to have a drink.  But otherwise, I would say I have kind of enjoyed the experience.  More generally, it has been good to reflect more than anything else.

So have I lost any weight?  I don't really notice much difference.  Plus, I must confess I have probably indulged myself over the past few weeks with chocolates and sweets a little more than usual.  What my Dry February does confirm to me is that I am not a particularly heavy drinker anyway.

I wanted to do this because since my early twenties I have not before had any prolonged period without alcohol.  As I say, I don't consider myself a heavy drinker.  But on the rare occasions in which I have overindulged, the horrible aftermath has been what I consider to be a total waste of time.

With my 40th Birthday just around the corner, I wanted to test myself.  I have said in a previous post that I felt February as the shortest month, would be the most convenient month for me.  I can confirm that I am delighted to have tested myself, and I am now seriously considering Dry January 2016.

Let's wait and see!
