ErnestTurnip 157 Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 Think it was last December I was told I had a fatty liver and while it could be because I'm fat these days they said it was more likely the ale. Two eldest kids have been giving me grief as well so although I was on it early today I'll join you @gonzo. I've done it once before and lost loads of weight and my mental health was much better so as much as it pains me, I'm in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

First couple of weeks a piece of Piss will then get hard for a couple weeks and that’s the crunch point then it’s second nature. missus needs to let go as well though mate. Might have been hard for her (has been for mine at times) but she needs to trust you to do the right thing and behave. mine is now happy to drive me to the boozer on a Saturday or a Sunday for 3/4 hours and pick me up. She doesn’t know about the bag that’s getting dropped off but somethings are better left unsaid.all about moderation pal you’ve got this 👍🏼 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm on a record since my drinking career started - 2 & 1/2 months. First stopped at the end of April but i had a shit week and got pissed twice in June 😄 Feel better for it. Might see if i can get to the end of the year although it could be pushing it a tad, haha. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jayjayoghani 233 Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 Developed a hatred of poor sleep and hangovers, plus redefining free time as precious has reduced my alcohol intake to very little. Could never make the next step to teetotal though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Site Supporter ZicoKelly 1,670 Posted September 14 Site Supporter Share Posted September 14 My Mrs has insisted I knock the weed on the head, so had a blow out weekend in a caravan in wales Am now not touching till our next weekend away in a month This should also lead to reduced alcohol intake and a generally healthier approach to everything Am up for it as well, which is half the battle with these things Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not in Crawley 374 Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 Cutting down as I've not been running the weight has come back. Anyway, aiming for 7 days. Slowly, slowly..... It'll last until wednesday as I have a lunch in town. Media types are pisscans. Pisscans with company cards. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Site Supporter MancWanderer 516 Posted September 14 Site Supporter Share Posted September 14 I reckon my intake has at least doubled during this time. Wine is the killer for me Need to make an effort to cut down I cut the cigs out completely 1 year 7 months and 22 days ago (not that I'm counting or owt) so I know that I can do it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Site Supporter MancWanderer 516 Posted September 15 Site Supporter Share Posted September 15 Blimey. Three police cars were parked up round the corner a few weeks ago and eldest stepdaughter swore blind that the coppers took a hysterical woman into our next door neighbours house Turns out it was the wife of the bloke across the road who was out of sorts. He always seemed a decent sort apart from his overly tight Man City tracksuit that didn’t really show a fat, late 50’s bloke in the best light. Turns out that Covid Pissheadery hasn’t been good for him. Unable to go to the boozer he’d been necking 3 bottles of wine a night and ended up twatting his Mrs when she said that he couldn’t go back to the boozer when it opened up. He’s moved out, as has the daughter, the house is up for sale, she’s trying to drop the charges, coppers are saying no. Bet this is a common theme country wide Quote Link to post Share on other sites
