Dry January

Failed miserably last night although I could do with knocking it on the head as I feel as I get older it really doesn't agree with me.
The problem is though I'm no good at having just a few beers and I do enjoy it.

Well at least you tried mate.... :D

I'm the same.. I'm no good at having a drink or 2.. It usually escalates into a bit of a session.. It'll probably be easier to stop completely rather than try to throttle back...
 
i was surprised how easy last night was, i didnt get smashed on NYE so was feeling fine. Had my mum and dad round for dinner last night, 3 bottles of wine between them and Mrs R. I had diet coke and water. day one, DONE.
 
Really need to get off the ale. New Year's Eve was a nightmare and really made me step back and think about the impact my drinking is having on my family.

Trying to to use golf as a tool to help me stay clear of the booze. Going to spend my beer money on range time and get back in the gym and get a bit fitter.

All good in hindsight but it's difficult to get away from alcohol in my working environment. Really going to have a try at it though.
 
all i can say is good luck to all who try and give up.
booze dosent affect me as i am teetotal anyway ,gave up when i was 19 ,i got fed up of feeling really crap the day after ,havent had a proper drink since ,yeh i have had the odd shandy after a round but thats it ,its been good for my mates as well as i was always nominated driver so they could get slightly worse for wear if they wanted too.
 
I didn't have a drink yesterday but last night i was still awake at 2:15 this morning, I can't be doing with that every night so I'll definitely be having one or two today:cheers:

I'm a freelance Geophysicist so go wherever the work is. Did a lot of the BP pipeline inspection work in the UK sector last year. Off on Monday as a Client Rep for a cable route job in German waters and then will be back on pipeline inspection later in the year.
 
Just made a jug of watermelon, lime, cucumber, mint leaves and water plus a jug of cucumber, lemon, mint leaves and water as a bit of a detox.

Went to the pub earlier to watch the Liverpool game and had soft drinks.
 
Out at the Sheraton today with a few lads, 5 pints, dropped into the local caff on the way home, couple of pints and a pizza before settling in to the darts and a couple of glasses of red..... :D

OK seriously, thing is in the spring, summer and autumn I can easily not drink when's there's work and driving to be done that day or the next, so winter for me is a time of eat, drink and be merry.
Plus I'll be in the gym tomorrow for some weedy weights and a 5k.

Cheers.
 
I have always found that offering to drive everywhere sorts out the possibility of drinking as I could not get to the golf course without a car and I don't want to be close to being caught drinking and driving.
 
Can't wait till February - won't have to listen to possibly the most annoying advert song ever ...!!!

Oh, and I've been mostly off the beer for over a hear now, had more to drink last week than in the previous 60!!

Well, bearing in mind that alcohol is a recognised addiction. One which has a huge effect on individuals and families all over the world. One which is responsible for thousands of deaths per year. I'm going to guess that YES, it can be quite difficult to quit.
