Mrs eck and I were out for a meal with friends this evening, I had two bottles of (less than 0.5% alcohol) Erdinger. Am I still in or do I have to go back to square 1?

You probably absorbed more alcohol from the Hai Karate aftershave.

That's easy, why don't you drive.

He is also on the wagon and got there before me :-)

This booze quitting lark has its upsides.
Son #2 was invited to a teenage party Friday night, pick up about midnight. Being stone cold sober on a Friday night, I offered to pick up him and his friends, take them to McDonalds and then drop them all off. Massive turn taken, massive favour banked. No biggie for me but non-quitting parents very grateful.

Having seen a lot of the teenagers at midnight, it seems that that demographic isn't participating in a dry January

Being new to the site I've just seen this message but is it too late to add me to the non drinkers?

I have stopped drinking in January for the last 14 years so I'm quite established at it. My last drink was NYE and so far I've resisted the temptation but the smell of the wife's G&T along with a bottle of Gentleman jack calling my name is making it difficult but I will do it and may even extend it in to February..

Maybe but I usually start again on the first Saturday in Feb.

My hope is to carry it on for good. However I've had this hope many times before and it's failed. 8 months is the record and then I went on holiday. Once I was somewhere hot and sunny, my willpower left me. I can manage Xmas etc ok, my problem has always been the summer months.

Yeah, I think I might....

I'm hoping for at least a year just to see how much riding I can get done and how much weight I can lose - booze has been getting in the way for too long.

Edit: I too find the summer months the hardest, an ice cold beer in the heat of a summers' day is such a reward.

Yep, count me in.

Like a few others the warmer months will be the real challenge

I'm bored of not drinking! That might just be my resolve weakening though
