Hi all,
Yes, it's now 3 AFD's from me - and from a number of others too, which is great going gang.
John, you're pushing your boundaries to the enth (is that a word?) degree, by taking yourself off to a club - man, if you come out of that with another AFD to your name, that will be MAJOR achievement. Not to mention possibly immeasurable brownie points earned in front of your lady friend. 🙂
I'm half in Vera's court in that ... it's nigh on impossible - no it IS impossible for me to just have one or two beers and that's it. Nope, cannot do that. But we all have our vices don't we?
Hey, here's an interesting question to the 'sober ones' amongst us (or to whoever is reading) - we're doing this to abstain away from alcohol. But there's never many mentions of people who smoke, for them to try and go a month without it?
I personally don't smoke and never have - but I wonder how many readers out there ARE smokers?
Hey Mary, again I'm with you on the alcohol/fitness thing. It is incredible that if you've been say, running for a fair while and built up a base of fitness, but then for whatever reason, you can't do it for a short while - say two weeks, when you come back it's a real struggle. Having said that, yes it IS a struggle to start off with, but because you've had that foundation base there prior, your rise back to that level IS quicker than if you were just starting out from the beginning.
I'm not sure if that relates to the same with the staying away from alcohol. Yes it does Neil - when you've been off it for a while, and then you start again, while you can't drink as much as you did when you left off, it doesn't take too long till you're acclimatised to nudging back the odd beer or forty every night (ok, just jokes folks on the forty!).
Neil
