    Dry January is a win already, at least he didn’t go tipping booze all down himself!

    Day 5 complete.

    Genuinely nearly had a drink out of boredom today cos I’ve been snowed in, but had a couple of cups of Earl Grey instead.

    Wondering if I’ll be able to get to work in Bury tomorrow…

    Do you find that 0.0% is given your brain that ‘alcohol’ feel or fix? Will you drink 0.0% all month or get to the king where you think ‘it’s going sod all this’ so I’ll have a pop?
    Not being nosey btw :D

    I just fancied having a beer yesterday while watching the match and I was in Lidl and you got 6 x 200ml bottles for £4. I’ve never tried Leffe alcohol free before so I thought I’d give it a go. Thumbs up from me.

    I’ve been drinking pop most of the rest of the time.

    Sundays are usually a trigger for me, get the dinner on and have the footy on, with a beer or glass of wine on hand. Had nowt yesterday but could have murdered a nice glass of Black Stump.

    Oh well, day 5.

    Genuinely, for those a week or whatever into it, it’s a piece of p*** once you’re through a couple of weeks. After a month I didn’t ever even think of beer. Couple of months on and it’s only when it’s mentioned by others, or you see stuff on TV or online that it enters your mind.

    Most of the health benefits kick in after a month, and even more so as time goes on.

    Have I once or twice thought “could enjoy a beer right now” - of course. But it’s never just a beer. Life is miles better teetotal. Wish I’d known that for the last 30 years.
