The booze-quittin' buddy thread!

[The Jogger]

In other news, I've felt like crap today, just like a hangover. Could be my body detoxing I guess!

It's all that sugar, I was told when I gave up to eat chocolate, so I did, hence I'm in the weight loss thread twenty years later.......

 

[DooDah]

Done!

I fully intend to have a drink after the singlespeed building session I'm having with an old friend next weekend.

Cheers, bottoms up, chin chin, i raise a glass to you.... Sorry could not resist. Seriously though, from the 11th that is me for as long as i can last.

Oh blimey! I drank mostly wine and whiskey though!

The sugar has something to do with the alcohol not the type of alcohol drink, I think.

Gah!

"There is also an increased risk of problems when combining exercise and alcohol. It is not uncommon for people to go out for a drink after playing sports (for example, hockey, soccer, tennis) or to consume some alcoholic beverages while playing. Your blood sugars naturally drop during exercise, and your body is working on replacing your glycogen stores once you are finished. Consuming alcohol during this time will halt this process and can cause blood sugar levels to stay at an unhealthy level."

It's your call, but I turned down Sherry trifle

Avoided for another night at least!

Smart! Care to declare and have your name added to the list?

Yep. After today (which has involved some serious Russian potato inspired tidying shenanigans), that's me off it.

Tally ho chums!

That's the enthusiasm talking, not the vodka.

I find the first week is easy as I do not feel well, the second week I want a drink but remember how ill it makes me then the third week I want a drink but cannot remember why I stopped.
After the third week I will be feeling great and will not want to spoil it(especially as the lighter mornings approach).
Also in the first week my dreams are really weird and even sometimes scary.

There are drink dreams in which you dream you've hit the booze and you can actually wake up thinking WTF did I do that for. I used to get feelings of guilt and remorse thinking I had gone back on it. Dream is the wrong word, should be nightmare.

Best night's sleep in ages last night and got out on the bike early before the rain today. Positives!

I'm also off it for January since Fri. If you have shares in Hoegaarden, I'd sell them now!
