Yes, great sleep and able to wake up earlier to get out for some extra miles on the way into work.
Lots of new bike stuff as well
Same here, great sleep now and more energy. Have also been splashing out on "essential" bike stuff so not seen any financial gains so far

I'm trying to recreate the North African sweet mint tea. Doesn't always work!

[/friendly tone] Those people still finding it a struggle on day 24, doesn't this highlight in a worrying way a dependency you hadn't noticed before? I'm used to it being a struggle (usually right up until I fall off the wagon although it gets slightly easier as you build momentum). What I'm trying to highlight is quite often people will say "oh I don't have a problem with alcohol, I could give it up tomorrow" but then they never try it. Those that do try realise just what a struggle it can actually be.

Although I wonder how much of the 'struggle' is due to habit. e.g. you always have a beer with a curry, so it doesn't seem right to have a curry without (or on a Saturday night, or while watching the match on TV, or whatever).
A bit like a small part of the smoking habit is having something to do with your hands...
(I'n not denying chemical dependency at all, just saying* that it's not necessarily the whole story in everyone).
*speculating might be a more accurate word here!

My recollection of such tea is it was probably more sugar than anything else.

Yep. Let's just say I'm not talking a teaspoon and a half of sugar.

Oddly, this giving up booze for a month has been strangely easy. I wasn't really a big drinker beforehand, but did enjoy supping a few pints of real ale down the pub with friends once a week, as much fir the social aspect as anything else.
If I was planning a ride on a Sunday, I would tend not to drink on a Saturday as I knew it would slow me down a little. Cycling more important than drinking, what is the world coming to...
