I am now 18 weeks in without a drink. When I originally started there was no specific target, with my previous best being 8 weeks. The weather seems to be a trigger for me, in that when it's sunny, through social conditioning, I feel oblidged to drink alcohol. This is combined with fomo, the knowing that almost everyone in my city will be drinking as a result, given that it seems to be a cultural response. I have thought to myself, that I never originally had any target and I have far exceeded my personal best of 8 weeks, so why not have a drink ? Then i thought No, that would be stupid. I have been trying years to get to the point where I have exceeded 8 weeks, why throw that away ? So I chose not to drink.
