Yay - well done!

I have decided to continue until my birthday - quite enjoyed the sobriety and feeling great every morning

Obviously I reserve the right to change my mind

Anyone also have any good recommendations for non alcoholic beers the Moretti is okay but has a bit of a funny aftertaste

I am so naive !!

I honestly thought that this thread was about the weather .. I was just gonna say it’s not stopped raining round our way throughout January

Thanks, you too

I actually have quite enjoyed the sobriety too and it's been good for the beer belly. I will have a pint after work today but will generally try to have more sober days I think now I have discovered the wonderful world of alcohol free beer

It's all just good intentions of course though

Haven't touched a drop of alcohol in years, don't miss it at all, certainly don't miss the horrible hangovers

I think I'd manage that too, don't eat Pizza very much Never shop bought and very very rarely get it as a Take Away because it doesn't agree with Gav.

I've not had a drink in more than 3 weeks now. My energy levels have gone up 10 fold. And i've been a million times more productive.

And yes, those hangovers. So nice to wake up and feel fresh

I think the last alcohol I had was a wee mulled wine at Christmas so turns out I've succeeded at this challenge without even knowing it was a challenge! I'm less of an avid teetotaller than I was a few years back, but I still don't drink often at all... just not part of my life these days I guess .

Can't do the pancake challenge as my kids would go ham if we didn't do pancake day at the end of feb. And I'm not cooking them if I can't have one .

I'm also not avoiding pizza for a month - that's utter madness.
