The January Abstinence Club

[DTCwordfan]

Co Presidents, Sibton and I

Purpose - one month of the booze starting today, a support group to help, cajole, berate any ABers to meet this goal. The benefits being the drying out of the old leather known as the leather and a lack of ethanol in the body helping to lead to weight loss - which can be a couple of pounds a week.

You are welcome to join us and rant away with our grumps and withdrawal symptoms and then become all-saintly and righteous when we get towards the goal.

Any questions? Though sibs and I won't necessarily answer them. Will Sqad contribute on any medically related issues?

[Psybbo]

Night, night. although I'll probably be up half the night :-(

[starone]

Night night sibton, me too. As a last riposte I well remember when my husband was giving up smoking - bear with a sore head springs to mind.

[lady-janine]

night night sibs and all. i'm off to continue with things as per my thread in cb.
see you all tomorrow. xxx

[DTCwordfan]

I find it'e the peeing that kicks in - a bit later on, but that's the body shedding weight......sorry to be gross

then there is the wind....

now I am sounding like a UK weather forecast.

[DTCwordfan]

and you all as well.....xx to the gals here.

[Slapshot]

erm...I've been working and haven't started on the vino yet...can I join in around the 10th???? ;-)

[EDDIE51]

I'm going with the government chief medical officer here, he says we should have alcohol 5 days per week .

Well that's how I read it , 2 alcohol free days means we have to drink on the other 5.

[DTCwordfan]

(i) slappie, we can pick you up

(ii) Eddie see my earlier thread around this 'suggestion'.......about 5.30pm

[Kiki-frog]

Forgive me, DT, for I have sinned. I had all these good intentions, then when I got home from work last night, Mr Frog had run me a bath and poured me a lovely glass of Merlot. So that was that really.
:-(

[rowanwitch]

I was advised to carry on with my red wine and garlic consumption by a cardiac consultant as for a fat bird my arteries were excellent

[grasscarp]

Kiki that is understandable. My AAA (Answerbanker Alcoholic Abstinance) starts tomorrow, so some of us havent even started yet.

[DTCwordfan]

Well, I see some confessions and another "exemption" on medical grounds.

How are we doing today, any cravings as the witching hour approaches?

Am ok here......

[Psybbo]

OK here

[DTCwordfan]

Glad to hear that......tea coming up in a minute (and a slice of homemade Christmas cake; that won't do the diet any good!).

[Psybbo]

Can you recommend a good water for roast chicken? :-)

[DTCwordfan]

Evian is too soapy for me, I prefer a Highland water, or that one Her Nibs likes, Hildon, (non sparkling)

[gness]

Holy....Sib. x

[DTCwordfan]

For something continental, Volvic perhaps....lol

[DTCwordfan]

River Jordan water - now that is too salty and probably has a high percentage of Syrian blood platelets in it...........

[Psybbo]

That's odd, tap water is my choice. GNESS, :-) too salty
