Dawn O'Porter says ditching the booze has made her 'more sociable'
Chris O'Dowd's wife Dawn O'Porter has revealed she ditched the booze three months ago. The writer and presenter shared with her fans the benefits of quitting alcohol after she felt like she was no longer in control of herself whenever she drank. Posting a picture of herself out for a run, Dawn wrote: 'Having a little dalliance with running again, while the weather is nice. I say run, it's a jog. But it's not a walk;) I like running but not all the time. Anyway, blah blah. That one was nice. Got me out the house. 'Day 96 with not a drop of booze. I'm so proud of myself, the first six weeks were really hard, I nearly caved so many times. 'Then it got easier for sure. The benefits are undeniable. Skin, anxiety, diet. They're all in good shape and so much more manageable,' she said. The mother-of-two said quitting the booze has made her more sociable, without the dread of a hangover the next day. 'I've ticked off loads of social events, I haven't cancelled a single thing. It's weirdly made me more sociable because I'm not scared of the hangovers. I feel totally in control of myself. "Which I thought I was when I drank, but I'm realising I wasn't. At all. 'The mental clarity you get is almost deafening. I love not feeling messy and like l'm repeating myself and talking shit. I love being fully on top of my emotions. 'But there is also a part of me that misses all that. The mess. The craziness. The silliness. I don't know what my future with alcohol is. 'I can't imagine never having another margarita or glass of red wine with a Sunday Roast. I can't imagine never drinking again, but I also can't imagine drinking again, if that makes sense. Dawn O'Porter and Chris O'Dowd (Image: Getty Images) 'I can have one whenever I want. I'm just choosing not for now. Maybe forever. Maybe not. It would certainly feel like a stupid move to ruin how good I feel. So who knows. 'You start to live for the days, instead of the nights. I go to the parties, I leave at 11, and I get up in the morning and enjoy that too. You only really gain. 'A life with no hangovers is pretty magical. But stumbling home at 2am after dancing all night with your friends, with one broken heel and someone else's handbag is also kinda fun. Where are you all at with this? 'I'd NEVER have done this even two years ago. This mid 40s game is all about acknowledging changes and making little adjustments, I think. Preparing for the next 50! (Hopefully). Turns out it's really great to feel good,' she added. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest news from the Irish Mirror direct to your inbox: Sign up here.

3 of the best dishes to try in Dubai this week: July 8 to 10
From a hearty meal to a refreshing salad, cheesy toast with a twist, and a must-try pizza, these are the three standout dishes to eat in Dubai this week. Atrangi by Ritu Dalmia Cheese Chilli Toast Think cheese on toast, but make it bold. This snackable spin on the 1970s Bombay classic takes everything you love – creamy whipped cheese, crunchy sourdough chips, a spicy fermented chilli oil, and little pops of sweet capsicum and serves it up in the ultimate chip-and-dip style. It's gooey, punchy, and seriously moreish. One bite and you'll see why this one's a table favourite and always a reorder. Location: Atrangi by Ritu Dalmia, Jumeirah Al Qasr Times: Daily 12pm-3pm and 7pm to 11:30pm Cost: Dhs75 Contact: 055 168 0802 Atrangi by Ritu Dalmia menu Alaya Shish Chicken A chef's signature for good reason, Abaya's Shish Chicken is flame-grilled indulgence at its finest. Expect tender, juicy chunks of marinated chicken breast and thigh, skewered and seared to perfection. It's served with big, bold cuts of veg — think long sweet pepper, blistered whole tomatoes, and roasted broccoli — all kissed by the grill. A smoky, satisfying dish that's as beautiful as it is bold. Location: Alaya, DIFC, Gate Village 4 Times: Sun to Wed 12:30pm to 12am, Thurs to Sat 12:30pm to 11:20pm Cost: Dhs230 Contact: 04 570 6289 Alaya menu Dhow & Anchor Sunday Roast There's nothing quite like a classic roast to hit the spot and this one brings all the comfort. Dhow & Anchor's Roast of the Day is a hearty, homemade-style meal served with swede mash, crispy roast potatoes, a fluffy Yorkshire pudding, rich beef gravy, seasonal veg, and a creamy cauliflower cheese that steals the show. It's the kind of plate that feels like a hug from home. Location: Dhow & Anchor, Jumeirah Beach Hotel, Dubai Times: Sundays from 12pm Cost: Dhs125 Contact: 04 406 8999 Dhow & Anchor menu Image: Instagram > Sign up for FREE to get exclusive updates that you are interested in
