Gidget Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Is there a point to being sober for 20 days and then going out on the lash Saturday? Please interview your liver afterwards.

Mick Mac Posted October 17, 2012 Author Share Posted October 17, 2012 Yes a complete rest of 20-30 days from alcohol is very good for mind and body. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/26254-sober-october/#findComment-585819 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Mac Posted October 18, 2012 Author Share Posted October 18, 2012 30 days has November. I normally do November. Anyway I only ever do it until the last weekend of the month, so I'm only a week short really. I'm sure you can follow the logic.

KidKruger Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 I've stopped a couple of times for a year or more, the only problem is other people continually asking what's 'wrong', like it's dysfunctional to NOT drink. Fair enough, in this country it's mathematically abnormal to not drink.

red devil Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Mick, you're actually doing your body more harm abstaining and then going on a massive bender.Get yourself down to the pub tonight and tomorrow, explain to the Mrs it's for medical reasons...

Mick Mac Posted October 18, 2012 Author Share Posted October 18, 2012 That sounds like a good idea RD. Anyway I was going to have a sneaky glass or two of wine Friday night just to ease myself in. I don't want to get tipsy too early Saturday and miss Frankel ! Anyway - not drinking for a while is a very interesting experience. If you are a regular drinker normally, then you can get into a habit and its good to conscioulsy break that habit from time to time. The first week you feel inclined to have a drink in the evening because its what you normally do, but after a week it feels normal not to. You feel like a better citizen / father / employee / golfer......

maxxi Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Does this mean the No-drink-vember that my liver had been promised a repeat of has been and gone already? Is this something to do with those bastards at the Julian calendar again?*Sips a nicely chilled, Ch?teau de Durette, C?te de Brouilly 2009 and ponders the imminent turning back of the clocks.

Mick Mac Posted October 19, 2012 Author Share Posted October 19, 2012 You are welcome to do your nodrinkvember maxxi, be my guest. I had a few things in November so I substituted October instead.

???? Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Mick I've been thinking about this, you should do it in February. That's a low party time of the year and it's a short month. You could shave it down to about 5 days or so. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/26254-sober-october/#findComment-586135 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Mac Posted October 19, 2012 Author Share Posted October 19, 2012 By no stretch of the imagine, can I call 5 days a month. I have tried and people are laughing at me.
