Dry January (not tort related)
I was interested to read CB is doing dry January.
Good luck to all those having a go. Someone told me today her husband is doing dry January and she is doing moist January! I'm a bit worried because I have just thought of all the reasons why I could not do it this month and indeed thought about what month I could do it. I'm a bit shocked because I kept thinking of all the events and celebrations this year and failed miserably. Not good really. Perhaps I should start with a week in every month or something?

I've done a dry 10 years, and I feel fine, BUT I have given up chocolate digestives for a whole year, and I had a slight slip up on Tuesday, only because I had the girls round for coffee, but it won't happen again

I once gave up alcohol for lent (when I was a student) and for me it was easy, I usually drink gin and orange juice when I am out so it took a few weeks for anyone to notice!!
But in all fairness I have never been a big drinker anyway! My dad is an alcoholic which goes a long way to explaining that! But means I can be a bit funny when people say "I need a drink" do you? Do you really?? No you just want one (so go ahead, I have nothing against it) But yeah if you are just doing it voluntarily then I wouldn't want to do it if I had a celebration coming up! Glad you have celebrations coming up!! Sounds like it will be a fun few months!!

My dad was also an alcoholic, may be that's why I'm not that fussed about it.

It kinda stays with you and takes away from some of the attraction of alcohol

Every time we meet she is staggering around with a can of special brew in each hand. |
