January starters . . . drinking over Xmas

Hi to everyone, wonder if anyone can help me ! ! I'm due to start sniffing at the beginning of January and i'm not on any treatment at the moment. I don't drink a lot normally but am just a bit sceptical whether or not i should abstain over Xmas so i'm healthy for Jan ?? I think i just want to make sure i'm having the best start in Jan and am worried about everything now ! ! Thanks and Merry Xmas to everyone, congratulations to everyone who is pregnant and Good Luck to everyone else for 2003 - it'll be a good year for us all, Becky xx

Hi Bex, My belief is that if you're not planning on getting bladdered every night, the odd one or two tipples won't do you any harm and are unlikely to affect your treatment in January. Why not stick to shandy's or other things well diluted with mixers so you won't feel so bad? Better to relax and enjoy yourself - and STOP worrying, which will give you the best mental preparation you can get. Merry Christmas Love Fiona xxx
