The booze-quittin' buddy thread!

I didn't manage a booze free night at the gala dinner last night , but I did notice that my tolerance level is definitely lower . Back on the wagon today so I don't slip into old habits .

I'm amazed I managed to resist celebrating another Irish success with some of the old black stuff!

6 weeks and still dry, well chuffed. Now to stop snacking every night and actually lose some weight!

Well done that man.

Yup, 6 weeks dry for me as well - only miss it when I go out for a meal and that's not often.

Still dry here too, had an apple juice last night while Mrs Moose was getting stuck into some Valentines Day champagne.

I'm off the wagon but going 'edge' has changed my relationship with booze a bit. I'm away for the weekend (sans child) and have woken up without any hint of a hangover. Quite a new sensation

Like Andrew_Culture, I think I can safely say my relationship with booze has changed too. Since my January 3rd bender, I've had two half pints of cider (one on Jan 22, another yesterday), and no wine whatsoever. This after several months of having maybe two pints of cider and usually most, if not all, of a bottle of red just about every night. It just became an unthinking habit. So, I'm not totally dry, but it's a big improvement. TBH, I'm not really missing it nearly as much as I thought I would.

Hi all,

Not as good as you lot who gave up for January, but a big step forward for myself. It will be a month next that I
Have stopped drinking in the week and just have some on fri/sat night now, now this is a big achievement for someone who has had a few drinks most night for far to long.
With going on the turbo as well, this has led to loss of some weight to.......!
On a fri/sat night I don't even drink as much as I used to, get a slight feeling of guilt actually, thinking that I have
Wasted my efforts in the week. So all good.

Tony.

I've surprised myself as I'm still dry since @eck 's bender!

Now I'm thinking of keeping it going until early April, when I'll be off to Mallorca for a training camp. At that point I intend to throw myself off the wagon in the name of recovery/rehydration!

Great to hear about everyone else who's still abstaining or cutting back

Definitely reaping the cycling rewards of staying almost dry, just one nights drinking at a BBQ on the 1st of February.
