I actually found that it was far easier to cut it out completely than it ever was to try & cut down/stop after one glass. I almost lost the taste for drinking completely. As the ttc dragged on and on, I did start drinking again from time to time (obviously not in the 2ww), but I'm really used to it now, and don't miss it. <br/>I do hear you on the social aspect of drinking though, it also made me so much more conscious of what a huge ingredient drinking is in all our socialising. If I don't want to say why I'm not drinking, I either play the "I'm driving" card, or say I'm on antibiotics (and if people ask what's wrong with you, say it's for a dental thing, as they tend to be less questioning about that).

When we were actively TTC, I had trouble coming up with reasons why I didn't have a drink when we were in social settings. Luckily, I don't drink very much anyway, so my "I don't feel like drinking tonight" excuse actually worked! Let's hope this is your LAST two week wait!!! I know exactly what you mean!
