The booze-quittin' buddy thread!

Today's the last day of my dryathlon. I left a shopping bag on a bus. I'm blaming lack of alcohol.
They say alcohol affects your brain/memory... although I previously thought it was the other way round.

Still enjoying a clear head of a morning here. Not sure what would get me back drinking to be honest either, I've experienced far too many positives from abstaining.

Who's going dry through February ?

You previously thought your brain could affect alcohol? Awesome super power!

Crikey... lack of alcohol is now affecting my ability to string a sentence together. I rest my case!

Only 3 days in to my dry month here so far. Not missed the ale yet and I'd often have a sneaky Monday night half or two so that's a bonus. The weekend will be tougher I reckon.

I'm going to continue for a wee while and see how it goes. No promises though!

Yes I am. I can't think of any reasons not to, and many reasons to do so

Still dry, going for the year

Wellllll, that was my plan but found out last night the club prize giving dinner is 22 Feb (not that I'll get anything!) - so do I skip it and stay dry, attend and stay dry or just give in and go for it??

Attend and stay dry. Not drinking doesn't mean you can't socialise. Then get some early doors miles in on the Sunday.

It's this bit that worries me - I'm dull at the best of times but could be a right boring B without a drink.

The thing is ... you think you are more interesting when you are drunk, but you are too drunk to realise that you are wrong!

My mates once bet me that I couldn't go to the pub with them every night for a month and not touch alcohol. It was a very boring month!

They all thought they were being wonderfully funny, but they were laughing at the same old stupid jokes every night, sometimes several times in one night! By the end of the month, it was a case of finding more interesting mates, or starting back on the booze ...

Hic - how are yer, me old mate!

I'm in for a dry February.

It was my birthday on the 2nd and still managed not to have anything. Enjoying the early morning rides too much!

Must be my first sober/dry birthday for 29 years, scary thought
