Coincidence l quit on New Years Day, but I think there are four or five of us here who did so.

Nothing exciting to report. It’s long since become the norm not to drink. I get the “urge” maybe twice a week and feel a glass of red would be nice. But as I’ve said before, I’d have a glass one day and another the next and so on. Nailed on certainty. That “urge” in my case is actually thirst, and a glass of water does the trick.

Highlight of the eleven months has to be a liver fibroscan in August giving me a score of 7 (normal stiffness, no scarring) and no longer any detectable fat. Fatty liver is becoming more and more common with drinkers and overweight people (and sadly, people with some medical conditions), and it should be taken far more seriously.

Two years ago, I was an obese slob with BMI 32. Now I’m about to do a triathlon. That wouldn’t be possible as a heavy drinker. So many things become possible without booze.
