    Anyone ?

    I'm doing it for the fourth time. 2012 and 2014 fairly easy. 2013 was very hard, I don't know why.

    Yeah I'm on with a dry month in January, a did it about 3/4 year ago and felt fantastic towards the end of the month, I've certainly supper enough this past month so a month on the waggon won't hurt.....

    I'll be giving it a go. Stopped drinking for Lent for the past couple of years - first couple of weeks are the hardest...

    I gave it a try, but walked past the pub at 11:50 & fancied a quick hair of the dog.

    Oh well, always next year.

    **** that. I have a drink a couple of times a week and never to excess. I enjoy it. Why would I want to stop it? Unless you have a drink problem, nagging wife or other health issues I don't see the point.
