DRY JANUARY 2017

Post by Micky Quim » Fri Dec 30, 2016 9:06 pm

Anyone giving it a go this year? Im going to try again, lets hope I get beyond my record of 10 days in 2016 <laugh> <laugh>

My motivation is fear for my health - drank far too much this year and in particular this month.

I cant see myself losing much weight but I could do with a period of sobriety and plenty exercise to undo some of the badness Ive consumed lately

I should... but naaaahhh.
It’s the noise, the passion, the feeling of belonging, the pride in your city.

I haven't drunk since June (apart from a leftover half a pint a couple of days ago). How can you only manage ten days? Most people do longer stints than that by accident don't they?

I gave up for a month in September 2015, once the first ten days or two weeks are out the way it's alright.

I'm cutting down in Jan. I'll be at a party tomorrow so drinking, but then I won't have anything until Friday (friends leaving do at work) and after that mid-Jan when I'm meeting a friend in London.

Well that's the plan....My general policy is that I can drink any 3 days in 7...

On your wedding anniversary you should tell the missus you're giving it up permanently then get absolutely shitfaced and tell her April Fools.

She still hasn't forgiven me for our first anniversary.

Went out, had a great meal. She wanted to sleep so I took her back to the hotel, put her in bed and f***ed off to a bar for another 4 hours of drinking.

Dr told me I was fat, high cholesterol, high blood pressure. So no drinks for me since the summer. I've lost 40lbs since then! Saved probably a grand too.

Probably couldn't do it, not going to either. Good luck though to any that are trying.
