Dry January anyone?

Don't need to, apart from a glass of bubbly with Christmas lunch and one at midnight on 31st I can't remember the last time I had alcohol.

That's not to say I don't enjoy a bottle few glasses occasionally.

I'm with you vampirequeen I don't drink haven't for years and OH will have the odd glass of shandy and thats it.. I've never missed it but then I never really liked the taste .

I'm with kitty. We are having a rotten time at the moment. The odd glass is helpful. I don't smoke, eat chocolate or cakes much, a glass or two helps with the stress.

teetime lol - why don't you just have one 250ml glass?

oooo no - the only reason I am able to do no sugar, cakes, biscuits, sweets, puddings, chocolate, cheese and minimal bread in January and February and proably March is knowing that I have two small (125mls) glasses of wine to look forward to with dinner.

I don't drink so all my months are dry lol

I am!

Has anyone seen the requests for sponsorship for a January 'Dryathlon'?
The word seems to be trying to convey some sort of athleticism.

I went totally dry when I had my knee replaced because I was on pain killers. I used to drink a lot, far too much for my health. Now I drink very rarely and feel a lot better for it. Will it last ? I could easily slip back to a bottle at a time, will try not to.

No, but good luck Suzie.

We have too much going on at the moment to try to change our lifestyle. My glass of wine when cooking is one of life's small pleasures1
