Only 3 pints so far this year and frankly don’t feel any benefit whatsoever. Non alcoholic beer is absurd.
The missus thinking she was being helpful has brought back Ghost Ship from Tesco, so will let you know at some point @Millsy
She also got me some Weston’s AF cider - I suspect that’ll be like a light apple juice.
Homegrove I’m so boring these days without drinking. Makes waking up and being disciplined with everything else far easier, but if I’m up past 10 pm, it’s a special occasion. Weed/coffee combination helps some evenings, it’s not the same thought. I don’t feel old, but I fucking act like it now.
Booze has been my crutch since knocking narcs on the head. I seem to have doubled the amount I booze and to the point it drives my other half mad. I doubt I’ll ever stop.
Life’s too short.
Booze and narcs, a match made in heaven
I do miss being off my tits on decent pills and enjoying a cigarette.
Dan same here. the best.
The draught Guinness 00 is excellent over here. The only option in the ‘alcohol-free’ category worth drinking if you have been forced into a boozer and are driving IMO
Am absolutely smashing the booze back in the Dolomites.
Grazie mille!
Tonight.
I will mostly be drinking.
Impossibrew AF Lager.

Day 20 for me today - I don’t feel any different at all. I’m losing weight slowly without any exercise, but that’s largely the only upside I feel I have.
I’m cleared to leave the house now, so going to the cinema tomorrow, but doing a Sunday lunch in a local boozer with some friends on Sunday will put me in a high risk situation for the first time - fingers crossed

It took me about four months of being booze free before I realised any discernible benefits.
Those four months were full of “why the fuck am I doing this?”, “I don’t feel any different” “I’m fucked off that everyone else seems to be having a better time than me”, “I can’t sleep because I don’t have that sleepy booze feeling” etc..
Then at four months my outlook completely changed and I realised how much of better person I was without the booze - I hadn’t really noticed all the small things changing. Sleeping incredibly, better mood, more energy, more money, less weight and all that.
I’ve been bang on the booze all January and I feel absolutely mustard.
Cheers!
Got some reorganizing news at work today (my job will stay the same, but the management gets even cuntier) and I wanted to do this when I left work.

mjh That’s great to hear, I noticed myself my mood is way more balanced and I’ve been way nicer to my family since pretty much stopping not as irritable. It was almost like bi polar way I was when I was binging every weekend and sometimes mid week. Plenty can handle drink well with zero side effects so fair enough they are lucky but not all of us can especially with age.
Secretly when I was binging I was thinking I fkd my head up with pills in my 20s as they where that good back then felt like emptying out serotonin but it was just drink causing my bi polar carry on.
I do take 5htp sometimes and resveratrol supplements as they are meant to help with restoring serotonin and dopamine levels.
3 weeks off the sauce and Funky is now a Biden stan.
