Dry January and February Thread

Herself has put her back out today. We spent 2 hours waiting for a doctor to tell us, inevitably, to rest it. I’ve spent the day running around after her and the dog who got a thorn in his paw yesterday and is feeling very sorry for himself. Had to go and pick up a new barbecue which will take me 4 hours to assemble. And I had to drive the 17 year old and his friends to a party, another 1 and a half hours.
Fucking complete waste of a Saturday and I have a shite load of things to do.
Got a 6 pack and bottle of wine on the way home. I’ll be on my own tonight, I’m not doing it sober. Fuck dry January.

I gave up on it earlier, 30 days is enough. Herself is in bed about 2 hours. She is off it for another month. About to open another quick can, she makes a big deal of walking out to the toilet every 20 mins and coughing. Must text her about the cough bottle in the dresser

I didn’t drink a drop this weekend for the first time in ages and I feel all the better for it. Maybe ‘dry weekend’ is the solution?

I’m up for it (I think)

I had about 1.25 bottles of average red wine last night.
I feel I’ve paid for it today.debt to society now. Got out of the bed just before noon. Did a few jobs on the cars. Dragged the lad out on a 9k run.
I reckon I’ll open a bottle fairly shortly.

Have you checked the cistern for a naggon of vodka mate?

anon67715551 · January 31, 2021, 7:03pm

Perceptive.

glenshane · January 31, 2021, 8:00pm

I blame climate change

Done.

Will give February a whirl now too.

Only possible lapse opportunity really would be Valentine’s restaurant meal at home (cc @Juhniallio)

Edit: I should clarify, I’m not angling for a Valentine’s meal with Juhniallio; he recently expressed interest in meal at home options.
