Has anyone quit drinking?

  • Giving up beer is the least of my concerns! I have recently stopped riding with some of my mates who regularly drank a four pack of lager every ride! They have now ceased to go out and turned to "other" vices! I don't drink in the week but like a few real ales of a weekend. I eat and drink what I like and still can't manage more than ten and a half stone at 33 years old! Bite me!

    I had gut rot over the weekend so I didn't touch a drop of booze all weekend. Surprisingly despite the gut rot still being around this is the best I have felt on a Monday morning for quite a while. I think I'll stay off it for a while now and see how things go :D

    The only thing is trying to get to sleep at night. It's not easy :cry:

    I give alcohol up for the month of January each year. The only problem is I usually get given alcohol for Christmas. My 'drinks cabinet' currently contains 14 bottles of spirits including eight different single malts! Anyone thirsty?
    It's all good.

    Sadly I must continue to punish myself, I cannot allow the less disciplined of the weekend warriors into a pub without a chaperon. It's a struggle to drink a couple of pints of fine ale but I force myself, in fact my level of sacrifice never fails to surprise. :wink:

    D :D
  • Mark....no chance! It's why I cycle: to keep the beer from showing!

    Steve, you're my hero!! :wink:
    well, i'm not suffering and wanting a pint. I have been in the pub several times and no probs. the OJ and soda does me fine. I had that attitude of cycle to jeep the belly at bay but have decided to take the racing seriously this year :shock: . watch this space, it'll save me a fortune too

    I've just done my fifth dry Xmas on the bounce, as a 56-month-non-drinking alcoholic. Still really, REALLy, want one though.
    Good luck to any who want a trip on the wagon.

  • Really glad someone else is going through this. If I am honest I bet I havent had a drink free week since Iwas 16 and Im 48 now. Decided to give up Jan 2 for the rest of Jan- so far so good. See how I feel then. Saturday night was the toughest call!

    Good luck!
