This weekend was Fee’s birthday camping weekend. Ordinarily I would have stocked up on prosecco, beer, gin & tonic and it would have been wild. I would have drunk and eaten too much then felt rubbish on Saturday and made an excuse to not go on the walk that we had planned. However, this time, I am doing dry June so no alcohol passed my lips and something truly amazing happened. I had a fantastic time! Not once did I regret my choice to not drink. I had a minor twinge when Fee brought out a bottle of chilled champagne on Saturday afternoon but I just got a glass of Kombucha and joined in. The teeny tiny twinge passed in seconds! I really enjoyed the walk on Saturday even though it tipped it down with rain. (I didn’t fancy a swim like some of the bonkers people I was with though). I honestly think I had a better time than if I’d been drinking. Most people had a nap on Saturday afternoon – I meditated for 20 mins then felt really refreshed and read my book for a while. If you told me right now that I could never have an alcoholic drink ever again, I probably wouldn’t bat an eyelid!!
