[Drinking] How's your drinking ?

[Tim Over Whelmed]

Drinking out of boredom when I'm at home. Slow and steady, not getting drunk, but if I added up my units it'd be an 'Ale-Bingo Full House' for sure...

I've injured my back quite badly and would have used this time to run, get fit and lose weight. Instead, I've been laying flat on my back most days with my iPad on one side and a beer on the other. Not good...

chin up mate, anything you can do now will help.

I did dryJan last year, but not this year, and from the tracker I've had more alcohol free days thus far in 2020 than I did in 2019.

Also started cycling, not far, but regularly, which helps.

9lb loss since lock down, but I'm very much WFH and more than eight hours so a lot to occupy my mind which seems the key

How is everyone doing with their drinking, does it match the previous replies?

I made a choice at the start of May to cut the booze down, and there's been 4 days where i've had a drink, but the most has been 2 bottles of beer at a BBQ. It's helped my weight, my sleep and my overall mood.

I do have one question, for anyone that has done the same: how do you deal with the 'urges'? I've been fine until the past few days but now missing having a drink, but I really don't want to as I don't want to lose the progress i've made and I'm sure it won't just be 'the one'. So how have you coped in the past? Anyone got any advice?

My last session was the Palace game.

I've had 2 - 4 beers a week at home since, but I really badly miss and dream of a bit of "power drinking".

I have had 6 beers since 1st March so less in 3.5 months than some match days ...
