The sun seems to reduce my will power AND it;s injection day tomorrow so the MJ resistance is low 😎 😥
I'm hanging on in here. Is it just me!>!?!

I feel you mate! Due out for drinks with a couple of mates tonight....although I do find now it looks more appetising than it actually is. Once I have it....I don't really want it. What I found at the begining was I just did what I wanted - so I had a few drinks, it didn't really do anything for me and I didn't lose much weight that week......so I kind of went off the idea. Now I don't think much about it. Strategy tonight is one to quench that thirst....and then I'll likely be on the lemonades.....and I never thought i'd say it, but I'm fine with that...hang in there!

Mike Moves here. Not just you, Andy. Warm evening, pub garden, cold lager... it calls to something deep in the soul. But I’ve learned the hard way that the sun may be good for the mood but not for my judgement. These days I trick myself with a fancy glass and something with bubbles that is not beer. Looks the part, keeps me on track, and no regrets the next morning.

Hang in there mate! I've just done a whole weekend without a drop of alcohol....and it was great weather and lots of socialising.....the longer I have managed to keep off it, the more I am not interested....personally find the low alcohol beers a rip off and they don't really do it taste-wise (Guiness Zero the best).....soda and lime, every time!

Hahahaha totally - ☀️ is out and the desire for a nice cold pimms or rose is real! But since MJ I will have 1 or 2, so I figure that’s ok as it’s always driven by wanting to enjoy time with friends family over a drink

I often give the alcohol free lager a whirl, as I find once you’ve had one, it quashes the desire for a real one.
IF the siren song of a cider (particularly Jeremy Clarkson’s) is too much, I give myself a two drink limit and no porky scratchings (they’re my very infrequent treat 😉)!
