Sober for October.

None of those ‘stop drinking for a month’ things apply to me I think. I don’t drink enough for it to have any meaning.

I think if I felt the need to do it I’d be more concerned about that than the potential charitable benefits.

It is for charity isn’t it? In which case I won’t do it because I don’t get the ‘do something daft for charity thing’: if I want to donate to charity I just... donate to charity.

I’ve never understood why somebody needs to sit in a bath of custard or hike to Kathmandu. But then I realise I’m a fun sponge.
 


I'm trying to get a bit fitter, lose a bit of timber, to train for a marathon late next year. However it's unrealistic for me to quit the sauce even for a month. So I have limited refreshments to 2 days per week only. Working well together with running 3 times each week and not eating sugar.
 
After reading this thread I have realised that I have had a drink each day so far in October. Was on holiday until the 4th like, then it was the weekend. Been away with work this week, so that's a given. Birthday back end of the month - I'm having whatever the opposite of Sober October is...

I'm going to mostly do it but not shout about it. Apart from this.

Last Friday night on the whiskey.
Beer and whiskey on Saturday.
Meeting a mate in London town tomorrow night.
Then I don't think I will be able to resist the pull of a drink on a Friday afternoon train home.

So no I'm not mostly doing it.
 
Don't get involved in these type of things.

Don't think I could go a month without the drink either. Which I don't know if that's worrying or not tbh.
 
Fell off the wagon tonight!

Twatting headaches, throat like i’ve eaten razor blades, so hot toddies for me.
