I know - Get. In. The fcuking. Sea.
Is anyone attempting it though? I'm amazed to say I am - am on Day 5. (Couple of days short but wasn't going to start on a weekend ffs...)
Combination of reasons really: I need to drop a stone and give my stomach lining a bit of a rest. Was also finding that my tolerance was getting to an unmanageable level and can't be bothered getting into crack. Decided to try something different.
So the plan is for 4 weeks of general clean living and self improvement. Fcuuuuuk.

Not had a drink since New Years Day. Done my first 5k run on Tuesday, will do another tonight. Weekends are the hardest but I'm bored drinking at home on my own, the Mrs isn't much of a drinker thesedays and the kids get us up stupid early. |  | | |

Guinness 0%, how come it's being relaunched? I was looking out for it but didn't see it any stores. |
Originally it hit the shelves and then there was a product recall due to contamination fears. Hasn't been seen since. |  |

@Bklyn,
You might recall stood at the bar at that pub in Northolt (Raspberry Blonde gig thingy) way back when that I told you I was 'dry' and hadn't had alcohol for way over 30 Years well I'm over 40 Years 'dry' now.
If I'm honest I could kill a pint right now and every time we concede a late goal etcetera.
Keep it up mate and who Knows maybe we can all get together again in better times. |  |

Me and the missus are both doing dry January. It's the first time we've ever done it.
We've put all the booze in the shed so there is no temptation around
Rangers not playing last weekend helped start it off | | | |

Had to finish off the open wine after New Year so I'm only on day 5.
So far it's been much easier than previous attempts, which is down to being at home 24/7. This weekend will be the tester, especially Sunday lunch. I can honestly say, that in over 30yrs I've never gone dry for more than a couple days, which is absolutely shocking. Me and the Mrs reckon we might save about £75 a week, which is also shocking 😳
Always kept pretty fit and will hopefully lose and save a few Pounds. | | | |

I do remember that Ted, was a good night that now seems a lifetime ago. I've always been quite impressed at the self-discipline you've shown in that.
And absolutely mate - we'll be through all this shyte and wandering around blinking in the sunshine eventually - see you then. | | | |

I do it every year to help me get fit for skiing, last drink New Year’s Eve, next drink in resort, usually mid February as we have to go half term as wife is a teacher.
Doubt very much that’s going to happen this year but still doing dry January (don’t drink much at home on my own anyway as the wife drinks wine which I’m not a lover of). | | | |

My wife's doing it which means that I slow down but keep drinking - more of a damp January for me.
At the same time, I'm training for a 10k in Feb and all the running about has meant I've lost 4lbs in the last couple of weeks.
Win win. Drink AND lose weight. LOL. |  |

am giving it a go... started a day late as seemed a shame to not drink the left over wine from NYE.. really fancied a cold beer the last few days, as it has been hot and humid down here, being summer time and hot doesn't make it easier, but found I have been drinking almost everyday since March.. so wanted to see if I could as much as anything. |  | | |

Having been a raging pisshead, bordering on alcoholic, for 25 years, I knocked it on the head completely just over 2 years ago. Since then I've managed to quit smoking and vaping, go pescatarian, lose over 4 stone, regularly run 5km at a good pace, significantly improve behind the stumps on the cricket field, and am now becoming a reasonable golfer having taken the game up again last summer. The booze was preventing any of that happening. Everything bad started and ended with booze, and caused significant anxiery and depression in the end. Giving it up was a great move and is something I highly recommend to anyone struggling with it or having anxiety/depression issues. So here's to a dry 2021, and QPR winning the Championship in 2022 😠[Post edited 9 Jan 2021 7:59]

In my mystery pack from Beerwulf/Beerhawk I've forgotten which company it was.
There were two ales one 0.5 and the other alchohol free.
I have to say both were really really tasty. |  |

Was tempted even by being on a Zoom call with some mates who were having lagers yesterday evening. Ended up retiring to bed with a book and some water. F*cking dire Friday night.
Still, eight days off the booze is already some kind of record (not having to watch QPR probably helping) and I'm getting to know the alcohol free beer market quite well. Heineken 0 - total ass, Becks Blue maybe the best so far but Infinite Session IPA in Tesco not too bad either.

I'd better go out later and see what I can find, alcohol free wise. 3pm onwards is tailor made for a full on booze up. | | | |

Just having my first beer since NYE . I have come to the conclusion that sobriety is akin to having unlubed Ker Plunk sticks droped down your Japs Eye.
This afternoon I'm feasting on a crate of Sam Adams jack brand dry hopped lager like emperor nero chewing the living shit alkaloid out of the Coca Leaf while sunk to the nuts up his captive Lynx Cat.
The Mrs Jo is currently givng me the 1000 yard stare for not seeing it out till the 31st so the cat's on for my Oskar Dirlewanger brass knuckle duster about the chops.
Until this afternoon with my first scoop of dirty booze since NYE, I've been living on a diet of fruit juice, pepsi Max, San miguel alcohol free and cup-a-soup.
My colon is like a 90 litre Cement mixer, Getting gout now would be like a dose of pepto bismol.
Been as miserable as arthur mullard on the armitage shanks shithouse after a 72 hour double diamond blitzkreig bop.
It's all Tom Tit. Booze is great mate. [Post edited 27 Jan 2021 18:37]

The breaking point for me was jo putting 'Love Actually' on at 2pm this afternoon. I'd have to be ripped to the tits on devils claw muscle relaxant like one of Ronnie Krays scatology meat rack kept boys, to watch that sucralose shit.

I've got a long standing blank alcohol cheque from the wife on that film - impossible for any sane bloke to watch without at least 6 drinks in.
Xmas film anyway isn't it!?! | | | |
