I was dreading it. I delayed leaving the house, tried to think of excuses. But it was a night out with a good friend who is going travelling for the next year and a half. On Facebook I could see other people dropping out right, left and centre. I would be a terrible friend to let a little thing like sobriety stop me going.

Now as part of the challenge I could use a ‘golden ticket’ to have a drink, but to be honest that felt like a cop out. Do it properly or not at all.
So I hopped into my car and off I went. After the initial banter about me not drinking and everyone being shocked I settled in with a virgin moijto. I thought that I would only stay a short while, but before I knew it it was midnight and I was taxiing people home. It was a lovely night, a good laugh and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

This morning I feel great about myself and very proud. Completing this challenge seems very doable just now!!
