This time last year it was the Stop smoking For october thing, which i failed miserably at but have since quit and feel better already for it biggrin
a few of my friends are not drinking for the month of october to raise money and awareness for summat or other (they chose two charities) so i thought i would join then, its my birthday month so its going to be a challenge not to have a drink at the Macclesfield Social but with my new regime of trying to lose a few kilos I'm determined to at least give it a go!!!!
So who's joining me???? Dont all rush at once bolt

I can join you but not sure it would be much help, I regularly go a month or more without drinking, it depends if we get a home meet or not, if we go to clubs I drive so don't drink, not going to be much to donate to charity from me wink

Bit pointless nominating me, as I have never drank or smoked.
Don't see the point of it, so have never touched a drop and the people that know me will verify that fact.

Well up for that, not drank for 2 weeks now so keeping it going

Shush! You weren't s'posed to tell people that, just rock up at the end of the month and claim the glory. ;)

I gave up drinking at 3am this morning.. Was hard work but I thought I'd go home before it started to get light. Lasted 19 hours and I didnt even know I was giving up drinkies
Failed again but on the plus side it's been 2 years since I last lit up.

Day 3 - I'm finding that since i stopped smoking its not so difficult to steer clear of alcohol - as alcohol makes me want to smoke - which would really ruin the 4 weeks ive done so far smile

Does that mean you've failed already, or just making sure that you don't?

I dont ever use the word *failed* or *failure*

Hows everyone doing with what they`ve given up ? Is it just me ? or is it starting to feel like a really long month ? still not smoked tho smile
Unknown User
Ive had a couple of nights off on the alcohol but on the whole im doing well smile Having no voddie in the cupboard is very strange dunno
The bonus to this is ive lost 14lbs so far just by stopping drinking alcohol and making a few subtle changes to my diet dont think im going to be OCD about it come November 1st as im off to a social that night :rascal:

Didn' t you miss waking up with a sore head then Kat? Mind you, thinking about it, the worst thing about being off the booze is waking up and KNOWING that' s the best you' re going to feel all day....blink Who' s getting the next round in?drinkies
Unknown User
Did I stoptober, did I heck, why would I wink
Alcohol consumption for me actually rose during this period, I have had 5 Vodka n Coke's so far this month, a couple of nights out at clubs and a wedding reception being the reason.
Don't think I need to lose any sleep or feel guilty :wink:
