I'm just updating via my iPhone today as I'm on a train coming back from an 'ITIL' exam in London. I'm so glad I'm not drinking because I know I'd have had a bottle of wine or at least a few beers! Instead I spend 8 hours watching a training package on the subject and since I'm currently wondering if I scraped a pass, I think it's best I spent my time revising and getting a proper sleep. I'm fact should I pass, I'll have to say that I would had failed for sure if I'd had a drink.
Got a funeral tomorrow. It's going to be wierd not drinking at a wake. Feels strange even commenting on it, but that's what people do at a wake and it will feel aquard telling people who offer me a drink why. Perhaps I'll say 'I'm driving...probably will anyway. Drinking aside, it's going to be emotionally tough tomorrow

Hi there,
I just happened across your blog and wanted to say well done!
I am on day 26 having given up alcohol for 1 month after new years eve. Now I'm thinking I should go for the year?!?
I just got sick of drinking all of the time and, like you, I don't think I'm an alcoholic but it has certainly been a challenge. You are right about it changing social situations, in the pub I struggle to make it past the second "non-drink" without wanting to leave! Restaurants are different though, last week I was at a Turkish restaurant in the West End and I had a right sober laugh!
Anyway, could you tell us about any physical / heath benefits you think you are noticing over time?
I reckon that even mid-week (having not binged all weekend) I am more alert and can concentrate easier.....
ouThanks! Its always nice to know people actally read my blog!
This is what I've observed about the physical effects of not drinking:
1st/2nd month. My Skin was horrible which I can only assume is all the rubbish leaving my body
However!...after that my skin has never been so good. I seriously feel about 2 years younger.
Im a generally healthy person anyway so Ive not noticed too many other benifits physically. Emotionally I feel better than ever! Its been tempting at times to give up but the fact I havent makes me so pleased with myself, and im becoming a much more confident person. I'll do so much more now that I would have before! Good luck with your final 4 days!!!
Ive just realised what you said about trying for the year. I say go for it mate! What have you got to loose? Keep me posted!!
