pin Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 If I gave up either of those I would be excommunicated from the Geordie brethren, and somehow forced to join the Southern Gayboys. No thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ME Posted January 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 If I gave up either of those I would be excommunicated from the Geordie brethren, and somehow forced to join the Southern Gayboys. No thanks This has been the hardest (oo-er) and longest three weeks of my life. But let's look at it - PLUS + + No hangovers + record month at work + never posting something on PW I regret + lost 1 stone (no joke - in 3-4 weeks) + blood pressure returned to normal + not a hungover father - the most important NEGATIVE - - can't go to pub every Friday at 1600hrs - can't go out for meals - can't sleep for thinking about work - go to bed at 9pm so I dont drink - shoot like a ****** (some might say I did anyway) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mossy835 Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 why give up the good stuff,eat and live longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Nope. I had a boozy lunch and now I have the evening hangover. Doh. I hate those gives me a headache for the rest of the day. Given up abusing myself with drinking to much and having the odd cigar. I want to get healthy if I am to sort out my career in the army or police. Im limmited to a beer or two per week (one month without anything so far). I really miss it, but its saved me a lot of money. And health.

WGD Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Given up nothing in life other than cigarettes on my 30th in August last year... That was a good move so well done to you guys for giving it a go but I'm taking the "eat and drink the same, exercise more" route and it works for me. As for giving up the dwink... one step at a time lads, one step at a time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
