I like it, but I feel Govember is better. That way you can cut down, then ramp it back up again at the end of the month and see if you can cancel out all the good work you did in October.
I read that as 'Gove mber' where we all go back to sipping mild and saying ee' by gum.
Must be in some remote corner of God's own country, like Edinburgh perhaps, because it's not used in the west!
I have never smoked, but was partial to a drink from the age of 16 when I started in the Merchant Navy - it was a way of life. 10 pints a day was no big deal. Started to get sensible by my mid 20's and these days a few pints is a very rare occasion (the bladder caves in after a few, apart from anything else). I could easily go through October without a drink or a smoke without even noticing.

This is my point . Nothing wrong in enjoying a drink or two,but the stop drinking campaign seems to suggest that giving up for a month is a big deal. Surely if it is then you need help rather than it being a challenge for a month and then returning to a potentially dangerous habit.

I had no idea this was a national phenomenon. I thought it was just my company that does it. (Don't watch TV, don't read papers).
Anyway that reminds me I have to use that month to quit chocolates.

I'm by-passing October and going straight to November to avoid all this nonsense.
