for those amongst us that are unaware, it's the giving up of the demon drink for the whole month of january, with a contribution to charity being the goal.
So 4 days later, having had a particularly bad time in a kitchen planning outfit place, I felt the need to partake in a drink or two. Bottles that is. Dry white, sauvignon blanc.
So who is doing better, and who has done worse? Why?
The donation to charity is still on, just humbled.

3 bottles of single malt say this won't be a dry January for us, will try for dry weekdays , makes the office work a bit easier to manage. And as for charities, there are too many good causes, we stay focused to ours.

Brilliant! Well done you for trying this, it's not as easy as it sounds! lol

Good luck to all who are trying to do this, either because they want to for a bit of a detox or challenge, to raise money for the associated charity or those who are battling an addiction using it as an opportunity to make an important life choice.

Stick with it and if you slip, write it off, no beating yourselves up and get right back on it!

Is this the same as the so called 'Janopause' outlined in the Mail on Line this morning.
Seems a bonne idée to me :thumbup:
Any help that my liver can have to recover is just fine with me!
Can't be doing the charity thing though I'm afraid.

As a more serious kind of note... Sobriety is an achievement which should be celebrated if this is the choice someone takes. Especially if there is health implication or a life choice which could save their life. Those people who make that choice should be damn proud of themselves. It's not easy when there is an entire alcohol culture surrounding you.
I find it both fascinating and frustrating that nothing else is mocked in the same way as not drinking by some people. Like you're not human or not normal if you don't. It just wouldn't happen if it was... oh I don't know.... mushrooms for example! lol

No-one would be all... Oh I'll munch on my really tasty mushroom in your honour seeing as you don't eat them!
Would they?
No, really, tell me they wouldn't! :lol: Mushroom mocking just sounds so icky! :uhoh:
Oh, and where is this 'Fanuary' thread... I have a forest here cultivating. I think small animals have started to nest and take up residence! ;) :lol:
