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?

Feeling good here, Oh has now joined me drinking Adam's Ale. I'd love to hear from the others. Sorry about the headache DT

[DTCwordfan]

Just a minor one - I suspect it's the C2H5OH coming out - happens every year, usually a couple of days earlier. Well done your OH - that makes it much easier for you!

[tonyav]

Well done you two, and your oh sibo.

[Psybbo]

No, he's just abstaining during the week but it doesn't bother me at all. Mind you my other addiction is another matter but daughter bought me an e-cigarette

[DTCwordfan]

well that one I do not have!

[lady-janine]

another evening of adam's ale and 1 orange juice. I will get there.

[DTCwordfan]

well done Lady J - Adams Ale here too and may be a cup of tea soon. Staying in tonight to see the Attenborough programme, so not even a ginger beer.

How's it going, sibs? Headache gone? The tiniest of ones this morning, I suspect the continuing aldehyde withdrawal, but a cup of coffee sorted that out.

[Psybbo]

Fine DT, although I think I'm drowning! Just how much water and camomile tea can one drink?

[DTCwordfan]

Ok today here.......no headaches or anything here...I just wish there were a wider range of non-sweet drinks out there! The Orange Pekoe is coming up shortly.

[joggerjayne]

Are you guys nuts ???

[joggerjayne]

Is there a sub group for "only drink in the evening"?

[gness]

Ah...that's one I'd consider JJ.

[Psybbo]

I'm beginning to think soo, jj, but planning a lovely meal out in Feb, with the best wines...........

[tonyav]

Special occasion sibo ?.

[joggerjayne]

[Psybbo]

Depends how big the glass is, I guess, but not a bad idea.
