for the month of july (well actually from the 22nd june) i decided not to drink any alcohol...kind of like a lent thing. i'm going to give up something i like every month until, hm, until i run out of things that i'll miss for a month.
my question, i really fancy a beer today and tectonically i've already done without alcohol for a month, would that be cheating?
i don't have anything in the fridge but i do have this limited edition bottle of ale i've had for 3 1/2 years on my desk that i was going to drink as my first drink.

Originally posted by trev33I only drink once a week, and it's made the one time i do have some beer much more enjoyable. I have a whole ritual made up now, starting with picking the beer (I always choose Stella), and ending with me losing money at poker.

Have your beers if you want, but don't go over the top.

It will give you that feeling of accomplishment that will make the first drink even better.
Maybe try something other than a 3 1/2 year old bottle of ale.
Unlike whiskey, those things don't get better with age.

You and I have walked the walk, and that is the only way to know.
I congratulate you on your 35 days, no easy task. I just wish you would take it another step, one day at a time. You know I have walked the walk!
You already 5 days into month two!!
