It is incredibly easy to get caught out and end up thinking that every trip out has to include a drink

Lost loads of weight, it just fell off.
When I started drinking again got shit awful headaches.

 

[york away to this!]

don't start this guilt trip just before the weekend!

mind you, with holidays drawing to an end it's back to "start the week dry" for me from Monday - see how far you can get...

I'm curious, have you noticed any significant benefits? If so, what like?

I'm contemplating packing it in, or at least toning it down substantially. I'm fed up of it. I did a period of a month or two with very little alcohol at the start of the year and I felt much happier.

I haven't quite quit, but I've gone from an average of around 50 units a week to 3. It's been a long time since I felt this fit and healthy. I wish that I'd done it sooner.

I went from 50 to 14. Its worth it IMO. My footy playing has definitely improved.

I dont like harping on about it..

(where does the term harping on about come from ? )

I quit 18 months ago after I went onto warfarin (will be on this for the rest of my natural)

I have noticed several things

I feel a lot better most mornings

I have lost weight, about 10 lbs

just the thought of 4 bottles of wine a week, which equals about 300 bottles not going through my liver, plus a few hundred beers beers makes me feel positive

I can drive everywhere and I now enjoy watching people get pissed and saying stupid things they will regret next day lol

I was hypertensive (needing medication for this) but now Im not.
