Dry January 2018 edition

Happy New Year..!!

I ran a Dry January thread last year and it went fairly well so thought I’d resurrect the idea for 2018.

A place for support, sharing ideas or just general chit chat.

This is my second year and I’m wondering if it’s going to be harder than the 1st time as I know what’s coming :D I liked doing last year as it was the kick start I needed to getting fitter & I slept really well too.

Soooooo....anyone else participating?

Good for you, Roxi.

As last year, I suggest people look at dontbottleitup and get the app to support reduction and giving up.

Go Roxi!!

Tbh I'm not a big drinker anyway so it's easy for me abstain.

Not today though I have some nice prosecco left that I'm going to enjoy with a splash of chambord

After that I won't touch a drop until my birthday next month.

I have managed it before. And I must admit that I felt bloody brilliant after a couple of weeks. It is amazing how much cutting out a few drinks at the weekend can make a difference. The real struggle is saying no to the odd glass of wine with dinner!

Just where I need to be.

Giving up drink wouldn't be a challenge for me as I don't drink often. Also I want to try my gift of rhubarb and ginger gin.I have never reached for the bottle to relax or finish the day off. I need to find the thread which is no chocolate month.Good luck for those taking part.

The idea is that they pay your petrol instead of getting a taxi- or tell the tight gits to walk home

There was never much chance of a dry January where I am - too many gigs, and after those a beer is de rigueur - but Jan has turned moist (I know, I know...) and from this weekend I'll be back on the bike, with serious distances planned, not just pootling around SE London.

Day 20 and this has been the hardest one yet. Still off the booze but boy it's not easy.

It's the only addictive d*unk where people try to shame you into having a drink. Holding out but not sure how much longer the will power will hold out.

Now all the alcohol has left the body 7 hours sleep straight through from 1130 to 630 and the dozing off again until 8am, absolutely bliss. No more getting up for a wee at 3am or waking in a fugg or heading straight to the fridge to pour cold Coca Cola down my throat. Amazing.
