Having never drunk it was just another month, but hats off to all those who gave it a go.

Managed it with no great problems (so far), was considering carrying on until Christmas, but relented by buying 4 bottles of Golden Hen for the match on Saturday

Eh? Are you trying to trick folk who are doing it into drinking early?
It's still October for another 22.5 hours.
I know lots of people who are doing it - they have all stuck with it (if you couldn't, why do it to begin with?) and been rightly laughed at when asking for charity donations (eg "you're saving £500 by not drinking for a month, f***ing give that to charity yourself you ****") but they will no doubt get drinks bought for them come midnight tonight....

Thanks Greens :(
Having been advised to stop boozing on medical grounds, am happy to report my last drink was on 08/09/14, so October was a big part of the ongoing deal

****!! Is that what a golden ticket is? Didn't bother checking. Having said that it's not been to bad. The first two weeks were the hardest when my brain would automatically think, 'Right, get myself a beer' whenever I walked into a bar, club, supermarket, anywhere that sold alcohol. The last 2 weeks have been easy, and without doing any exercise, and stuffing myself with biscuits more than usual I have lost 3kg.
Looking forward to a drink at midnight tonight.

I haven't found it too bad either. Hardest night out was the 2nd when I had a mate who was emigrating to NZ leaving do. After that it wasn't too bad. Saturday's have been tricky as I go and watch non league football where it is a given that you stand watching the game with a beer. Thankfully the games I've seen this month have been entertaining enough not to drive me to drink.
Pretty much had to as the abdominal pains I've been getting have all pointed to considerable fatty liver disease.
Although I didn't remain totally free. Only had 2 pints in the whole month. That's versus a usual 80 pints, so I call that a win.

I find it hard enough to last a day without some kind of alcohol. Today will be no exception and will certainly need it around about 5.15 p.m.
