Going Tea Total


Guest

Recommended Posts

OK the challenge has been set, me and my sister-in-law have been told that we will not be able to give up drink for the month of Feb. :o

 

So here goes - as of midnight tonight, not a drop of alcholol shall pass my lips xD (i'll open wide and pour it straight down my throat instead - thereby missing the lips - NOT REALLY :(:( )

 

We're going away to Brugge for three days this month as well - god its going to be hard - Wish me luck. :( I know with all your virtual help I can do it :wacko: xD

Good luck! We have been on a no drinking challenge since 5th Jan but haven't managed a complete tee-total time! We had one evening with family where we drank as we would do normally, then there have been 3 other evenings when I have had a little wine. Ours ends on the 5th Feb which is hubby's birthday so not much longer to go. However, most of the time I haven't been too bothered so I definitely won't be going back to drinking the same amount that I was. :o

Have you seen my recent post, I had to go teetotal in Jaunuary, lots of alternative drink ideas HERE

 

Not sure if I've mentioned it in the other post but I've found a really good non alcoholic wine, it's from Asda called FRE, Chardonnay. I do a bottle a night. :oxD

 

The other night after I'd finished a bottle I thought oh, I'll try some 'Kaliber' lager, then thought oh no, mustn't mix my drinks (doh) :(:(:(

 

Good luck, what happens if you lose you're challenge?

It's not easy, I do actually miss the relaxing (or should I say 'merry') effect of alcohol rather than the taste. :o

Be strong, or you'll end up with a case of 'Pride before a (drunken) fall' xD

Good luck Brenda! I am on day 27 of being alcohol free-gave up for a month just after New Year. Can't make my mind up whether to be 4 weeks or a calendar month. 4 weeks would be Monday, but not a good idea to be drinking for the first time and then going into work the next day!! Second option will be Thursday, so I could wait til the weekend.

I have to say I haven't missed it as much as I thought I would but we haven't been out at all this month because of various reasons-I think I would have liked a drink if we had been socialising.

Would you need to drink so much that it affected you the next day? Why undo all the good you've done giving your liver a rest!? Have just a glass of wine and really enjoy it. :o

No Cait, I wouldn't need to drink so much that it affected me the next day. I just don't know how even one might be after not drinking for so long.

Very sensible, Linda - one of the reasons I drink so infrequently is that it goes straight to my head! I'm sure if I had alcohol regularly I'd soon get over it (I wasn't always so sober!). :o

Well I am very pleased to say that I have done it :( I have not drank a drop of alcohol for the whole month of feb.

 

We went away to Brugge for a few days over half term and I didn't drink. xD (very pleased with myself).

 

Have I lost any weight? NO - instead I have put some on, however, that could be due to the fact that I have had a bad back for three weeks resulting in a slipped disc and sciatic for last week and have been off work and not been able to do anything. I also haven't been running for the past three weeks due to back problems. I'm going back to work tomoz for 2 hours a day.

 

I have now got a lovely bottle of white chilling in the fridge ready for tea tonight, I might even be tempted to drink it all :o well at least mixed with paracetamol I might get a good nights sleep (which I haven't had for two week, due to back).

 

I never want to drink alco free lager again in my life!!!!!!

 

Go on give it a go - you can all do it if you try :(

Well done BrendaS on your months abstinence. :(

Slipped a disc myself quite a few years ago, so empathise there, hope the sciatica eases soon, just remember to bend those knees, don't twist torso and careful if lifting. :o

Not sure wine and paracetamol mixed is a good idea!!

 

Enjoy your chilled wine, (in moderation though eh xD )

Well done and hope your back improves soon.

Be careful when you return to work not to put too much stress on your back, it's very easy when you feel a lot better to forget that your body is still healing.

 

Take care and enjoy the wine.

Nicky Sussex :oxD
