False sense of security?

It's only been thirteen days since I stopped drinking alcohol but I'm surprised at how easy it's been (so far). I know there will be ups and downs but I can honestly say I do not miss it at the moment. The only time I had a pang was when we were out to dinner the other night for hubby's birthday and one of the desserts was a sorbet with prosecco. Usually I would go straight for that and it sounded so delicious that it was my first "oh but I can't have that" moment. I know if I'd mentioned it to hubby he would have said go for it but I know it's a slippery slope from having alcohol in food, to just having a sip to back to drinking again. I have also been tempted to smell wine. Last weekend we had friends staying and hubby opened a nice 2012 Bordeaux to share. But again it's that slippery slope from smelling to tasting to drinking. Apart from that I haven't minded friends drinking in front of me. As long as I have my sparkling water in a wine glass I feel ok. I just need to find a nice, warming, velvety drink to have in front of the fire on those cold, wintry nights.
