Charlottechicken Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluekarin Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Me and my hubby are doing it too. Not so much for the fund raising element, more for our health. I think I will be fine, but I do think he will struggle as he does like his beer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluekarin Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Hubby and I had our final *sobs* drinks Sunday night so the house has zero alcohol in it. Well, apart from a bottle of Kahlua but it's far too sweet to drink so that's safe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapdragon Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Wow, I take my hat off to those abstaining! I absolutely could not do it.........I do love my glass of wine now and then. Prob have a bit much on occasions but find it relaxing and a treat on a Friday evening; Gardeners World wouldn't be the same without it!

Charlottechicken Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Monty Don through beer goggles Op hasn't been on here today so maybe she's 'tidying up' to abstain from tomorrow Anyone in Flintshire close enough to hear the strains of "Gimme the Moonlight" and "Show me the way to go home"?!

chickencam Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Well done to you all, I should really have a go, but I am pretty good only usually have a drink on a Friday and Saturday evening, I am sober 5 days out of 7. My ED was talking about doing it, but she has only just gone back to uni and has her 21st so we will see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coco Posted September 30, 2014 Author Share Posted September 30, 2014 I am having last glass of wine this evening, then none for a month. Friday night will be the hardest as I do like a glass or two in the evening. Its for a good cause and feels good to be doing something for somebody else. I shal rise to the challenge. Willl keep you posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angie Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I have offered to go sober with some of the girls on my old ward. They won't let me do it as I have been sober since 1996, and they think its cheating It is not my fault that I am allergic to alcohol or grapes is it So I can go without chocolate instead . I have promised I will endeavour to go without and that is choccie cake , bickies, ice-cream...anything with chocolate in it, so no sprinkles on my cappuccino either .This could be quite a task but I'm in .

bluekarin Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 The weekend will be the hardest for me too. I love a glass or several of red Fri/Sat night and sometimes a few with Sunday dinner. Also GBBO is usually accompanied by a glass of wine I will, however, look forward to the very nice bottle of red I shall buy ready for 1st Nov with all the money I would have saved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahaha, maybe I should do that too! Although I'm also a crisp fan and haven't eaten those in about three weeks. Not so much by choice, more out of need. (My digestive system has gone into puberty... Not listening to normal commands and being very moody and grumpy...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Some of the girls in the office are doing it. They asked me..... But as I raised over £300 for MacMillian in the summer by cycling 40 miles I declined Think I've done my bit of the this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
