On The Wagon... then in 'ere!

fair play to you lot.

I am still enjoying my beers, not to the point i wake up dead, or even with a headache etc just a couple a night to take the edge of and help me sleep

I know the people who had done it will say you dont need that etc, but I run my own business and its stressful its a dam good excuse I suppose but never mind.

the hot weather turns me of beer, but bbq's are nomnom
 
It's coming up to a year since I had last my last drink and I dont miss it one bit. It certainly helps with keeping the weight off though and to be fair I think I mostly drank out of habit anyway rather than really fancying it.

Really? Are you that desperate for a drink that it really is affecting you that badly?

Sorry only just seen this.

I never had a problem with drinking but I miss going out and having a few. Also dating sober is a bit harder haha. Socially things have changed due to it, I just don't feel comfortable when everyone is getting slightly drunk.

On the other hand I've lost weight, saved money and don't have as much anxiety due to hangovers!
 
Well it sounds like you're on the right path, well done :)

I accept and admit that a drink or two can take the edge off dating certainly if you struggle with confidence.

Well done. :)

Planning a dry month myself soon.
 
I was sober for 10 years up until 2010. I convinced myself (lied as we do) that I had this, wow I can control my drinking! A few alarm bells have been ringing recently, so last Sunday I called time on alcohol and accepted that for me we don't mix very well. Having had 10 years of sobriety this isn't as daunting as it once was. I'm offshore presently so the next 2 weeks are taken care of. Looking forward to no hangovers, more money for other things, no slurring, no blackouts, no walks of shame (no not those ones ;-)) clear thinking, oh and dropping a few pounds. Good luck and well done to all those folk on their journey of clarity.

Well done mate :)

The very best of luck to you.
 
Mate's 40th on Saturday, and my first real hangover of the year yesterday (that is still persisting into today).

My tolerance for drink has really gone through the floor since knocking it on the heard for most of the year. I think this is only the third time all year I've had more than two glasses of beer in one evening, and even though it wasn't much by my old standard I've been paying for it with interest these past 36 hours. :(

I have said it before but this time its different, I have just taken on a £800PCM unit etc and generally I just go to the pub cause im bored at 3pm lol this should give me the push i need to stop this stupid habit
