Caved last night ๐Ÿ˜”, hub passed his exam so we had some fizz and OMG I have felt awful all day today, even my eye balls hurt.

Annoyed as was so close, will try again. Hopefully will last to valentines and just share a red.

Well done all who stayed the distance ๐Ÿ‘

Still AF here...
Got my hands on some Guiness 0% ๐Ÿ‘
I'm having to unfollow sober accounts on Instagram. Turns out, they are bleeping annoying and make it their whole personality.

Going out tonight and a little concerned after how awful I felt drinking in Jan. It's an independent pub so will aim to just have a couple nice drinks and go quality over quantity. I need to get in the mindset to just enjoy the company etc and not be drinking for the buzz.
What's the zero guiness like? I do like a porter, my go to was always lager, when I had my health check the nurse asked my preferred drink and I told her and she went 'mmmm classy' ๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ˜

How did you get on?


Oooh me too! Mostly from fear though ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚
Hi ๐Ÿ‘‹ yes good thanks just a few halves of choc orange stout ๐Ÿคค tried an alcohol free red but wasn't the best choice..convinced it was just black grape juice! Woke with a raging thirst but otherwise OK.

50 days is amazing ๐Ÿ‘ anyone worked out what they have saved financially?

Xx
 
I'm so glad I did dry jan!! I have gone from drinking up to 4 times a week to having had a drink only twice since Jan and that was planned, and not at home โœŒ

How is everyone?

For what seems like the millionth time Iโ€™m saying Iโ€™m taking a break from drinking. I really really need to for my health and relationship but the cravings always get me after about 3 days ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

Good luck! I last had a drink on Christmas Day. So no booze for over 4 months now it was only ever going to be a month and then I wanted 100 days and now I really enjoy it so not sure when or if Iโ€™ll drink again. I feel so much better for it.
