The January Abstinence Club

[DTCwordfan]

Co Presidents, Sibton and I

Purpose - one month of the booze starting today, a support group to help, cajole, berate any ABers to meet this goal. The benefits being the drying out of the old leather known as the leather and a lack of ethanol in the body helping to lead to weight loss - which can be a couple of pounds a week.

You are welcome to join us and rant away with our grumps and withdrawal symptoms and then become all-saintly and righteous when we get towards the goal.

Any questions? Though sibs and I won't necessarily answer them. Will Sqad contribute on any medically related issues?

[DTCwordfan]

probably find that N Irish tap water naturally has booze in it!

[Psybbo]

DT, eau de vie!!!!

[DTCwordfan]

Mais oui, Madame Sibs, quelle surprise!

[lady-janine]

i have abstained today but will fall tomorrow as i have some blackwoods to consume.

[boxtops]

Do you think we could substitute cake abstinence for alcohol, for those of us who have eaten far too much cake, but not enough drink?

[Psybbo]

I should avoid cakes as well, boxy, I seem to want to eat in the evenings, even after dinner and this is only the 2nd day!

[askyourgran]

I think I should have practiced Tempura King Prawn (16 per pack) abstinence instead, feeling a bit off.

Isn't it strange how the mention of booze generates so many answers?
I survived for two days, 100% better than last year!

[Psybbo]

Yes, annie and this thread is helping me

[seadogg]

What a pity! Having been away for a few days, have missed the start date, will not be able to join and the love affair with 'Uisge beatha' will have to continue.

[Psybbo]

The start date is variable, seadogg, start when you're ready

[seadogg]

Manana, Madam Co President and thanks.

[lady-janine]

[anagram]

Happy to join. I had one of those 'never again' moments last summer and I didn't have any more alcohol until Christmas Day....my husband had bought me a bottle of champagne (my tipple of choice) so would've been rude not to :) As well as the champagne, I did indulge over the festive season but now am more than happy to avoid the booze again.

[Psybbo]

Welcome anagram xx

[Booldawg]

I'm with you! As I worked NYE but got trollied NYD in the afternoon does that still count? Am I allowed 'in' ?

[DTCwordfan]

That's more than fine, none of us started before Jan 02.....

Hope all are surviving the absence!

[lady-janine]
