So as I posted earlier, I had a failure on Thursday. I had flown >6000 miles for an interview and at short notice they invited me out to dinner and ordered wine. Since then, though, I have been back on the challenge, and finding it really easy. My wife hasn joined me, and she is also doing fine.

So far I have been drinking Becks Blue, and it works wonders for me. I love the taste, and I think I just love holding that freezing cold glass bottle. I had my first ever O’Douls this week and really enjoyed it. It helped me sink the giant burger that I had accidentally ordered.

My wife found the no alcohol gin, and we bought her 8 little cans of pre mixed gin and tonic. It is actually very low rather than no alcohol (0.5%). Surprisingly she has found that what she really loves is the taste of the low sugar tonic water, rather than the G&T, so she is moving onto that.

Sleep is improved. So far that is all I can say for sure, but that is such a huge issue for me that if that is the only improvement I see for the month I will be absolutely over the moon.

Oh, and I actually went clean 30th and 31st as well (designated driver), but then I did have my failure evening to counterbalance that.

Keep up the great work everyone!
