On The Wagon... then in 'ere!

Didn't drink last term.

Drank during Christmas and it didn't do me any favours.

Back to no drinking for this term. Always disappointing how little it positively affects my life though.
 
Another dream about booze last night. Second one in my 20-ish days dry.

Dreamt about going around town near my walk to/from my work train and buying loads of cans of beer from offies (I did used to pick up beer on my way home a couple of times a week over the last year or so).

I felt bad about it in the dream, but kept buying anyway. Puzzling.

Anyone else on the wagon getting booze-related dreams?
 
so on my fourth day in Munich and still dry, had a alcohol free weissebeir the other night at a bavarian restaurant and it wasn't bad, not upto the real thing but acceptable...

The biggest problem are the 3 events so far at the venue, tonnes of food everywhere (on a diet as well) and waiters bringing round bottles of beer, wine etc constantly + all my colleges drinking, still its nice to get up in the morning sans hangover when everyone else has been a write off!
 
After my two month dry spell before Christmas I've already cut down a lot. I go for quality over quantity now :) Over Christmas I reckon I drank a third of what I would usually get through... Moving forward I don't think I'll drink during the week as a rule, so that's at least 50 units down for the week already :)

Yeah!

I also made it. Have had not a drop since January 4th. Out to a nice Thai restaurant for food and drinks tomorrow! :D

I have lost a fair bit of weight as well. I am not one to weigh myself, but I can feel the difference when running up the stairs. Less wobble.

As I now know that it can be done, I am going to try and continue my abstinence during the week and enjoy a beverage only on Fridays and Saturdays.
 
Well done everyone on seeing the month through! :)

It's also has to be noted how many of you are making the sensible decision to cut down on your consumption, this can only be a good thing. Keep it up folks :)
 
Well I read this thread in early January and I meant to pop my head in to say Hello. So here I am lol.

I was personally drinking a few cans every night but much more at the weekends.

As much as I enjoyed the taste I was getting bored of it but I think I became a functioning Alcoholic. Well I was one. This has probably gone on for close to 20 years I would say so for my health it was time to stop.

Anywho, I had my last drink and Cigarette on the 5th of January and I have not touched either since.

I know I am a creature of habit and I must say I am loving Coffee!. I have purchased a Coffee machine. A real one and not the pop a pod in here type and I am absolutely loving them.

I am not putting any pressure onto myself and my wife has been quite supportive too even given up her one glass of wine at the weekend which helps but in all honesty I am trying not to give this a label but instead I just carry on as this is what I have always do/done.

I have put on a little weight (albeit I am not fat by any stretch of the imagination) but I do not care at this moment as there is far more benefits and my weight will level out.

Good luck to everyone who has done so before me and to those who have at least taken the steps on reducing their intake.
 
Hi Chris, welcome along and please feel free to post good, bad, rant and cheer all you want.

You've taken the first step mate and the very best of luck with it. For sure it's difficult enough to tackle one craving but two takes some courage. Very well done, you're a brave man :)
