But seriously, I'm fed up with the give this up, give that up nagging that goes on.
Give up booze/meat/plastic/shopping/salt/fat/carbs/sex/cars/bikes
Surely it's better, and less likely to be doomed to failure, to reduce your intake, not deprive yourself altogether. If you enjoy something but think youre enjoying it too much, just cut down. You're still going to feel some benefit but will be less likely to expedience failure, which you will, when you reach for a drink on October 2nd.
Then you'll feel cheap and dirty and beaten.
Aim for one alcohol free day a week to start with and see how you go on.
As for me, I'm of for a large G&T and will be doing so, every evening for the forseeable future. ____________________ Whether you think you can, or think you can't, you're probably right |

Nope, not me, I like a drink, however, it's not a need, and it's not a hardship not to drink alcohol. If, you're alcohol consumption is such that people see it as such a challenge for you to stop for just a month that they will sponsor you, you have a problem, that being 1 month on the wagon really won't solve.

I did this before it was cool, for the last 8ish years I have had the first 3 months of the year off booze.
When people starting asking me to sponsor them for a month off it was a greate xcuse not too.
PSA - if you don't drink for 3 months don't go out and have 8 pints on April 1st. If you are anything like me there will be shit and puke everywhere and you will be ill for days ____________________ Well, you know what they say.

Nope, a heady mix of Weed and a variety of different IPA's as always. I'll be on the Ghost Ship this week. Picked up
a fifty worth of green last night and 8x 440ml for £9 from the Tescos this very morning. And some Hot Cross buns. ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha

Nope.
I stopped drinking for 6 weeks a couple of years ago. Gained nothing by it.
Towards the end I remember driving into work one morning thinking "Hope I don't get stopped by the cops, I feel like shite, must be still over the limit.". Then realised I hadn't had a drink for 6 weeks.
Conclusion. It's not a hangover, I just suck at mornings.
I think I have some sort of super-liver. Takes me ages and a lot of money to get pissed. I always seem to blow clear on home breathalyzers despite having drunk ridiculous amounts the night before. Also had liver function tests recently. All fine. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen. That's when you find out everything you want to know.”
