365 days without booze... join me?

All good here, work meal out was easy drinking coke (though I was rubbish at pool and good when I'm drunk!).
However, Last Friday we got a take away delivered from a new Indian restaurant and as a nice gesture they included an ice cold Cobra beer..... I swear my eyes glazed over, said something like [homer voice]hmmmmm beeeer [/homer] and lunged for it.... luckily SWMBO was at hand and reached it before I did
So still alcohol free this year

Very impressive. OMG the cold beer would have made me bloody cry. Stick with it mate!

Only time I've had a beer since new year was a few pints for my birthday in jan. Nothing before or since. That includes a family birthday with everyone drinking, and a back to back christening, also a very boozy event. I've had nights out drinking water, and nights in drinking tea. I've detailed my previous drinking habits earlier in the thread, so I think on balance I've done pretty bloody well!!
Very good! It's the big boozy events that are the very hardest. They drag on and seem rather pointless if you're not drinking IMHO.Keep going. I'm as sober as a judge here.
Still alcohol free. Work has gone a bit crazy and not in a particularly good way.
The thing is I'm perverseley starting to enjoy it (the work), albeit only slightly. In a sort of, "imagine if I could really pull it off" kind of way. I think that I would not be coping at all if I wasn't alcohol free.

Dammit. Years of being a social raconteur appear to have been delusional
Yeah - I had this rather nasty realisation on the weekend. Apparently my "humorous anecdotes" are in fact boring and moderately incoherent ramblings, if the drunker people I was with are anything to go by.Good work to all the folks who are really cracking on with this.

Just heard this morning that I've passed my Masters in dog behaviour. No way could I have got that in let alone pass it if I were drinking at the same time. I rock ! Good work to all the folks who are really cracking on with this.

Ten days under my belt. Might not seem like much, but it is certainly the longest period without a drink since mid-September. Sweet!
2/3 weekends under your belt and you should be feeling both more confident and better in your self.Now I'm feeling much better physically, I have been finding it hard to suppress the thought of a drink, especially on a lovely day like today. Still I've made a deal with myself so there it is.

Well, first time this year and I'm drunk. But I got engaged earlier, so hoping you all let me off! Oh and I've only sipped half of glass of champers
Congratulations! I hope your hearing recovers quickly from the no doubt high-pitched noises that come down the phone lines on such occasions.Coolhands said:
I'm up to 1 & 1/2 weeks again (previously did three weeks then failed).
Not feeling too much urge to drink. which is encouraging.
Looks like we're on the same schedule then...my last sip was the 19th Feb. Keep it up and we'll both be on day 22 in no time. Halfway there already.Not feeling too much urge to drink. which is encouraging.

Just a positive boost to everyone out there. I and I imagine others find weekends harder to stick to your guns than weekdays. Good luck.
Cheers Smitters Talking of Guns I have just treated myself to a new Beretta 682 Gold, thanks to savings made through not drinking.
So yes stick to your guns all.
