Im on 241 days - would like to say ive saved money from not buying booze - but just end up spending more on cycling - as Im getting out on my bike more!!!

Packed up any kind of alcahol for good, the repercussions on the guts and anyone within 20 paces is not worth the momentary happiness.

Still off it since Hogmanay. A couple of Erdinger Alkoholfrei lined up for this evening.

Roll on April and a week in Mallorca for a drinking cycle training camp.

292 days for me. Was planning on drinking a glass a Champagne when I cycle into Paris in July, but now I'm not sure I want to. One whiff of the barmaid's apron and I think I would be flat on my back.

 

[Lemond]

341 days dry. Cakes, biscuits, sweets and crisps also now on the nil by mouth list.

1 year 4 months, don't miss it at all now and doubt I'll ever go back. Ginger Beer for the win!

Just need to crack my snack addiction and I should lose the extra 3kg's I'm carrying...................maybe

 

[glenn forger]

Nine months. The evenings are much longer than I remember.

 

[busman]

Bee dry for nearly 3 years. Just wish I could quit the smokes as easily.

3 1/2 months for me, don't miss it as much as I thought I would, do miss the company and banter that comes with it though, will be drinking again in another month

Sorry to interrupt but have you tried something called Champix? I gave up using it nearly 7 years ago,I smoked for 20 odd years and I went from 30 a day to nothing in about 6 weeks. I can honestly say that I have not seriously craved a cigarette since. I got it from my doctor after my dad used it and gave up after smoking for 50 years. Be warned though, the dreams you have are amazing while taking it!

 

[busman]

Yeah I tried Champix but it didn't work for me. I'm trying it the old fashioned way. Good old will power. Not had one in 16 days.

 

[Smithbat]

16 days is brillant, they say the first two weeks are the hardest so you are on the homeward stretch now.

Champix really freaked me out. Am going to quit again soon.

As for drinking, I hardly touch a drop (mostly on holiday).
I had a visit from my sister yesterday. She has been diagnosed with liver disease, brought on my drinking wine.
More than she should, but would not class her as alcoholic.

Now just for me to stop the smoking.

 

[Smithbat]

The dreams I had on Champix were truly amazing! It worked for me though, I cannot believe how much better off I am now. The difference in your pocket is frightening

Just passed 365 days off the booze.
