Crashed and burned. Totally. Attempting to blame lockdown. But it’s obviously me. Hopeless.

Well done to those going dry, and those just trying (like me) to drastically cut back. I did some backwards diary work to try and calculate what I was consuming, and over the long term I was averaging 98 units per week, 14 units per day. I set my plan for this year to have dry days MTW, and to...

Fantastic effort on the running front, well done. Try not to make your booze cut-back too draconian. If you enjoy it, as I do, then still enjoy it occasionally, but find simple ways to cut back without causing unhappiness or feeling penalised. Good luck.

Well done to those who really got on top of it in 2020, and Godspeed to those who are trying hard to cut-down or cut-out in 2021. I drank far far too much in 2020, and am going to try harder than ever to cut right back. I would drink every single day. I would have a small can or two whilst...

Well done to you Napier. Great effort. I’ll be downing some very exceptional craft beers at Howling Hops at Hackney Wick tomorrow. Probably get p1553d very easily on this sesh.

I’ve just had the end of January weigh-in. I lost 15 pounds in weight. All I did was Dry January, no fast food, and I ran 13 times in the month. Well chuffed with that.

Well done Sir/Ma’am. You must have saved a sheightload of cash, probably lost weight, and feel better for it, good effort.

Just 76 hours to go for all us Dry Janners, well done if you’re still in. Massive session at Howling Hops Hackney Wick on Saturday lunchtime.

PF, I am also on Dry January, and have suffered some horrendous violent nightmares in the last couple of nights, I mean so bad that I have not been able to get myself together for the whole day. Hope it passes soon. I tried Dry January in 2011, and got to day 27. Other than that I have been a...

I should have added, in 5 days I have lost 4 pounds in weight. Haven’t changed my food intake at all, just cut out the booze and had 3 long fast walks. Gotta be the easiest way to shed several pounds.

I’m doing Dry January, only tried it once before in my life, 9 years ago. Days 3 and 4 the withdrawal was pretty tough, jittery, disoriented, slightly unbalanced, and unfocused. Today, day 5, those symptoms seem to have gone, hopefully I’m through the dark tunnel of withdrawal. I’m still...

I’m doing Dry January, for only the second time. I did it in 2011, and lasted 27 days. I don’t have any bad memories of it. This time, I’m struggling with withdrawal already, wide awake until 3am, shivering and a bit out of balance and disoriented. I’m 58 hours in now, and I’ve read that...
