It actually was! Took my girlfriend to New York for her 30th and had a good time trying to drink the place dry!

Just working through my first of the year as well. Bottoms up!

Yeah the money side of things is interesting. Like you say I definitely could spend that money better - pay off a bit of the mortgage, invest it, save it, put it towards some home improvements, a new camera. But in actuality I'd probably just spunk it on some other frivolous shite :ROFLMAO...

Happy New Year NSC! A few months back I posted about how I'd been tracking my drinking habits throughout 2023 and now that we've ticked over into 2024 I've got the full set of data to share. Here then is how my drinking looked for the year of 2023: I really enjoyed doing this over the year...

Ok, that sounds very tempting. Have you got any particular...recipes(?)...you'd recommend?

Seeing as we're a little over halfway through the year I thought I'd share some (very rudimentary) data collection I've been doing on my drinking habits so far in 2023. I've been keeping a colour coded log of every day of this year and how much, if anything, I've drunk on each day. Yes, I am a...

Oh, it's definitely want to do. But in my head that auto-corrects to 'able to' as if I didn't want to I'd be able to forgo a drink. It's weird head logistics. I'm in very much the same position as you I think. Drinking isn't something that just happens now; planned is the wrong word, but it's a...

Haven't had a drink since the 4th October now. Ten days feels pretty good but it's my girlfriend's birthday this week and I've got a gig on Sunday so I'll be knocking a few back for sure and that's OK. Slowly, slowly coming to terms with the fact that, for now at least, tee-total isn't...

Cheers, yeah you're right. Getting back on track is key. Thanks Durlston, kind words

I keep slipping up. Started with my personal trainer on Sept 2nd and was very good for that first week. But since then I've had a couple of pints a week. Tonight, because I'd been stressed at work, I had a few pints and have just polished off a Chinese takeaway. Very frustrating!

Day 1 of going sober here. No real reason; I don't think my drinking is too bad but I have booked a personal trainer which starts next week. Seems dumb to be spending money on that and on booze. Plus I wouldn't get any decent results. Am going to see how long I can go though. Previous best is...
