I can't believe we are only days into the New Year

..it's obviously going to be a real slog after taking the pledge to attempt an alcohol dry January
Any suggestions on what to drink. !'m getting a bit fed up with dandelion and burdock

Do not allow yourself to feel deprived! Whilst you are denying yourself alcohol, be prepared to permit yourself a high level of self-indulgence in the alternatives you select.

Avoid situation where you have everything but the drink, and feel it to be the missing item required for a sense of completion!

Aversion Therapy: Write a cheque for £100 or so to the cause you hate the most. Give it to someone you trust, with instruction to mail it, should you lapse.

Next year, why not do it the other way round: promise yourself some real treats as part of your Christmas inebriation as a reward for abstaining in the month leading up to them.

Just a thought....

Whilst the 'Detox Month' is of benefit to liver, capping overall consumption may be of greater benefit wrt cardiac health!

Good luck with your endeavours!

I usually do the dry January but, this years i thought, there's plenty of time to go dry when I'm dead, So I'll save it for then and do it proper,

My favourite thirst-quencher is ASDA's Pink Grapefruit Cordial!
It has to be ASDA's, not Robinsons.

Be careful if you take Cholesterol tablets as it's advised to avoid grapefruit

M&S do a great fiery ginger beer and no sugar.

How many days in January

Thirsty one, I-Spy. Sorry, I meant thirty one.

Cruel

I have a ‘few’ LOL!!!! glasses of wine late at night as a ‘nightcap’.
I DO really try to have some ‘dry’ nights, but when you’re still awake at 2-00 o’clock in the morning, it’s hard not to have a little drinkypoos to ‘get you off’.
If I have just a couple of glasses, I sleep like a lickle babby LOL!!!!!
I really need to re-evaluate my lifestyle for the new year.

You need a drip

"You need a drip "

I am a drip LOL

Sorry, I-Spy, I can take or leave alcohol so Dry January isn’t a challenge to me. Good on you for doing it.

(I did read somewhere though that every time someone says ‘Dry January’ a barman dies. )
