    Gave up giving up. But I've been dry nearly every day.

    If.

    Have not drank this much in months. No doubt I'll get to February and will no longer have any interest in it. The same reason I am usually dying for a drink on good Friday, the one day I can't have one.

    I'm doing it- so far have only had the temptation twice. Have a 30th on the 21st Jan, so will prob have 2-3 drinks that night and draw the line.
    Wouldn't be a heavy drinker by any means, but could do with cutting out the calories.

    Went out last night, one of the best nights in recent memory, who would have thought sober nights could actually be decent :p

    I cracked and went for pints on friday

    If anything, my alcohol consumption is accelerating in 2017.

    Right well I'm not having a dry Jan. But I am eating better and exercising more. Also dry 5 or 6 nights a week. So if I can keep this up in the long term I'll have a better 2017. Keep it up folks.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,759 ✭✭✭Winterlong


    Still clean for 2017. But my tipsy wife beat me at scrabble last night.
    Feeling well dumb now.

    Much easier to eat well and exercise when there's no hangover! Well done on cutting down :)

    I cracked on Saturday and had wine :( back on the dry again.

    I nearly cracked. Was in the pub yesterday and had a Paulander no alcohol beer. It was like having a nice dinner that someone had forgotten to season.
    Nice, but not hitting the spot.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 616 ✭✭✭Jrop


    Winterlong it wasn't that nice :( I hated the fuzzy head I had yesterday too


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,819 ✭✭✭Aglomerado


    Weekend no. 2 booze free down. I notice I've got cravings for sh!te food like Doritos now. Which are probably worse for me than beer. :(

    Two thirds of the way there. Payday on Monday too, that'll be one to avoid temptation.

    Well I still haven't touched a drop. I was out at the weekend and thought I'd be tempted but I wasn't and I'm not missing it. I had planned to just stick it out for January but I think I will keep going and see where I end up .

    I'm hosting a family do on the 4th Feb, and it's the first day of the 6 Nations (favourite day of the year) so I'm ****ed if I'm not having a few that day. Hopefully, it'll be about 5 weeks since I've had any at that stage, which will be a new record for me in the last decade.

    I've decided to adopt the Roy Keane /Bryan Robson alcohol programme for January.

    Just keep drinking but exercise harder to kid myself I'm burning it off.
