The booze-quittin' buddy thread!

Was this meant to be blank?

I don't know what happened there!

I merely suggested that it would be difficult to choose between giving up the demon drink, and giving up those wild women ...

(I played it safe and gave up on booze AND wild women! )

Well I'm not ashamed to admit I really struggled last night, really struggled! As I've previously posted 95%+ of my drinking is at home in front of the tv. Had to retire to my bed at about 8:30 to watch tv just so I was further away from the booze cupboard, mrs bb sat there drinking which didn't help!

But I survived

After curcuits on Friday night, a ride yesterday morning and a spinning class at 4 yesterday afternoon I went out for a curry with friends.
I slipped slightly.
I will sit on the naughty step......

For being so honest, you can get off it now,

I found it hard while cooking tea on Saturday - that activity is usually accompanied by wine - but other than that doing well and enjoying the positives like no hangovers and much more motivation to get out on the bike

I'd had that much I can't spell circuits!
I felt crap until I went to the gym at 3.

In your original post you said you slipped slightly, so I took pity on you and allowed you off the naughty step, now you seem to be saying you were pi$$ed! Get back on the step, you mislead me

Last day of late shifts today so for me the challenge begins tomorrow when i am home in the evening watching TV. I blame the sofa,it encourages me to have have a drink or eat bad things because it's so comfortable.

Perhaps i should burn it or just sit on the floor ?

Yes, I had this craving last night. Wife normally does most of the cooking, so when I'm in the kitchen I often open some wine or have a couple off beers (helps with the culinary creativity). I was in the kitchen last night, chopping veg and preparing things and got a pretty strong pang for some booze. The wife has got in a few bottles of Becks Blue. This is an alcohol free lager, and the taste is pretty good. Definitely the best alcohol free lager I've had. Sank a couple of these and everything was good in the world again. 12 days in, I'm sure it was more the habit of the hand to mouth action than it was physical craving for the drug.

Feeling pretty confident about getting to the end of the month now.

It's dwad easy, just don't pick up the first drink and you won't get drunk.

Half way....

I've been alcohol free for nine days: no vino at all, and alcohol free and cider, but only one bottle a night, and not every night. I haven't tried the Becks, yet, but I've found Erdinger isn't bad; not so sure about the Koparberg cider though, it's a bit sickly-sweet.
