100 days for the baldguy

i never thought i could do this but i have managed 100 days with no drinking

i have been out a couple of times in bars and not even felt like having a beer,i went out to watch the England football game in a pub on wed we all used to get very drunk to watch these but not me anymore every one else did though,i amazed by how much my not drinking pizzes evry one else off lots of people kept on for me to drink ...go on one wont hurt you etc

one person my brother in law of all people was getting a bit nasty and even said "life is not worth living if you cant have a drink"

i never drank dispite all the harping on


on a sad note though an old drinking buddy dropped down dead at 47 years old

i'm kinda glad i gave it up

i bet my kids are glad i did too

come to think of it i bet no kid ever thinks i'm glad my dad is a drunk

100 days is great! Doing it in and out of bars... possibly amazing.

everyone tells me not to go to pubs as i might fall back into my old ways

but so far every time i see drunken people it just makes me sooooo glad i'm not one of them ,i pulled up outside a night club to give my brother in laws daughter my niece lift home at 2am last night and there where just people puking up every where ,fighting ,women screaming ,women crying ,it was a scene from cops on patrol uk :wtf2

and i thought thanks be that i'm not mixing with this lot any more

I hate bars, cuz I hate being around drunks :P The people encouraging you to drink are only teaching you who your real friends are NOT.

Whatever you're doing, keep doing it!

Very proud of you.

Sorry to hear about your buddy passing away.
