Well done. You have discovered that waking up with a hangover is not mandatory, or necessary. I have managed to reduce to a cuppla beers at the end of the day. Dropped wine and spirits off the shopping list. I discovered that if I don't buy it, I don't drink it. |

I tend to have a beer in the middle of the week and on Saturday. Suits me.
A bottle of wine lasts me two days but I stick to beer pretty much. |

I want to start sobriety and stick to it for the rest of the year. And I would not mind going the next two or three years sober. I have spent probably $500 on booze (plus cola to mix in) over the last 5 weeks. It has only been the last week that I have lost the desire to drink. As if something in my subconscious switched the temptation for alcohol off.

Title: Re: On the wagon Post by Sprintcyclist on Oct 2nd, 2022 at 2:22am
I haven't had a drink for ............ hours !!!!!
Quite a few hours too :) |
Title: Re: On the wagon Post by Jovial Monk on Oct 5th, 2022 at 6:28pm
I was given a bottle of bubbly by the agent that handled the sale of Mum’s house. Still sitting on the countertop.
Might open it Saturday and drink half of it while chatting with some US homebrewers (on something like zoom.) I may have some very good news to celebrate by then! |
Title: Re: On the wagon Post by UnSubRocky on Oct 6th, 2022 at 12:00pm
I bought a litre bottle of scotch last night. Had it not been for my minor illness (hypoglycemia) I had before I had my meal and sleep, I probably would have had a few drinks last night. I want to open the bottle after 4 this afternoon and see how much I can drink. If you find me writing on ozpol tonight, just ignore me.

On the wagon!
Reminds me of the story about the Allen clan of Appalachia from the early 20th century. Members of the Allen clan were hauling a wagon full of moonshine when they were stopped by the local sheriff and his deputies. The sheriff served the clan leader with a court-ordered warrant to search the wagon. The clan leader read it, then handed it back saying, 'This here warrant says yer cin git into mah wagon an search it, but it doughn' say nothin' bout yer raht to get outta mah wagon alahve'. |

I have not had a drink for about 6 months.
Gone totally off it, better things to do, want a better life |
Title: Re: On the wagon Post by Dnarever on Dec 3rd, 2023 at 7:20pm
Went away for a week last month playing golf. First day was 18 schooners. then it dropped to about 16 the other days.
Normally I don't drink at all only on occasions. Now back to zero alcohol till a few on XMas day. |

Good god, 18 schooners is about what I'd drink in 18 years. |
