I don't have a great relationship with alcohol and I know it's something I need to address for the good of my long term health. And to set a better example to my son, who is now of legal drinking age. I'm not sure about going sober for the whole of October but if I can at least be more moderate, that would be a good start.
I had one beer on Saturday the 1st but haven't touched a drop since then, which is unusual for me. Let's see how long I can keep it up...

(When I see my mates)

I will see how I do but I suspect a glass of wine will appear in my hands at some point in the day and I will be likely to drink it

So that's the first week done and dusted; now just the second weekend to contend with.
How's everyone doing?

I am still ok.
Not had any alcohol or Pepsi max.
I am finding that much harder than the alcohol. I have included all cola products so I can't cheat

[QUOTE 4502026, member: 9609"]when you say staying sober, do you mean total abstinence or do you mean stopping before you start playing pinball off the walls?
I didn't have a drop for about 10 weeks over the summer, but even since then and enjoying a few pints once or twice a week I doubt I have strayed from being sober.[/QUOTE]
I think most of us (*cough* @summerdays *cough*) are going for total abstinence. From chocolate and bread, in my case as I rarely drink. It's working: I've not weighed myself for a few weeks but I did yesterday and I have lost 5lbs.
