Quite enjoying it at the moment, but I suspect that is because it's different, and over the period from my birthday (beginning of December) to NYE I was supping more than normal I'll be bored of the sobriety by 27th and ready for a few real ales when I call it a day and go and watch the mod band in my local.
 
We lasted two days,,, then friends(??) called around... Then I 'found' 20L of an experimental session ale that I wouldn't chuck out. It's 6 months old and fooking perfect with my cider. Arggghhh,,,

I have committed to running 1000 miles this year though, I will raise sponsorship for prostate cancer car and McMillan to remember friends I miss.
I do pay the ferryman,,,
 
I would say I've not touched a drop but I did have a sip out of a trial jar yesterday to make sure I didn't have to tip it. Not had a drink but will have brewed 80 pints during the dry Jan.

I had a day in the pub on Friday and although I wasn't drinking I had a good laugh all day despite getting slaughtered by the chaps. We were in the Spoons in Gracechurch St. EC3 and when I am drinking again I'm going back there and I'm going to annhialate half a dozen pints of the Erdinger Bruin they sell on draught. It is the nicest draught beer I've had anywhere.
 
I’m doing jan n maybe Feb...only coz I’m on pain killers n anti biotic etc n a bit of morphine...miss my tipple...my sleeping is bloody strange!!! Deep sleep and dream!!

Been off the booze since before xmas,taking various medications. Relented a few nights ago and had a stubby of my own brew but that's it. Still on various tablets including tramadol so not really a good idea to be drinking. At present it looks as though it will run into feb as well:(.
Would be brewing but no point yet,too much booze to drink as it is!!!!:mad:
 
Bri if you are on a bit of morphine you won't need any beer.:unsure:

I've always found alcohol and Tramadol to be a most agreeable combination. I especially like the dribbling and subsequent couch-lock that it invariably induces.
 
Will likely be dry through to the end of March. Have also decided to eat much better as I was eating way too much junk through the last half of 2017.
 
Tramadol,diazepam,naproxen,diclofenac, plus the usual stuff...sometimes all at once...while my hip was wrecked. After hip replacement no meds!
