On The Wagon... then in 'ere!

Great job dude. I was reflecting last night that tomorrow will be 18yrs for me, and I really don't even think about it anymore. It does get a lot easier when you accept it just isn't a thing for you. Like if you are allergic to peanuts you don't spend all your time wishing you could eat them because they'll **** you up.

Think it's a year now since my last drink.

Last time I got "drunk" was first week of October 2023, then I remember having a small bottle of peroni a couple of weeks after that.

A recent holiday abroad had me tempted a couple of times but I just opted for a non alcoholic beer each time.

For anyone wanting to cut back it does get easier after the first few weeks. Breaking the routine of drinking on a Friday night after a week of work was the hard bit initially.

Same I think I stopped drinking 8 or 9 years ago, I could probably find out looking through this thread I do remember it was @Cosimo who said a throwaway comment which got me thinking at the time,so thanks again for that @Cosimo

Great effort all !

I'm a week today off 22 months and can honestly say I very very rarely even think about it now

Well done all. I am still on a 500ml bottle of beer which leads to taste and enjoyment once a week. I don't expect to fully abstain.

16 months here, I did unintentionally have a very boozy tiramisu and probably a quarter of a pint in a shandy when we were in France. I think I remain mostly pure so my battered, scarred and generally broken liver should have had a decent chance to recover!
