throbber Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I'd like throbber to give up lying for January If you really cared about me you would want me to give up drinking, waking up and helping myself to wine at all hours during the festive period. Its hard to contain myself when there is so much drink around, when I'm in the flat i usually just have enough for one particular sitting so don't wake up and help myself. Would be easier to give up in January if there weren't already 8 beers and some wine in the fridge from a party we had before we left Edinburgh!

Widge Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Considering I don't drink in the house and January is usually a quieter month on terms of going out then it would be perfectly achievable if I wanted to. Shame that I've a few thing later on in the month where alcohol will be consumed, albeit I'd imagine in smaller quantities, not because I feel I need to, but because I cannot be fucked with the crippling hangover days again. Waste of a day when you only get 2 a week off as far as I'm concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 No desire to give up drinking for 30 minutes tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Raccoon Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 January is a fucking awful month. The thought of sitting in drinking tea all month doesn't even bare thinking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisal Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I only used to drink about once every few months. Folk at work were all moaning about how hard 'sober for October' had been and I'd done it without even realising I'd done it. The last 2 years I've probably drank every weekend. Total waste of money and health. I am aff it till April. Sober for October can go f**k itself. That's my birthday. It's blotto in O'to for me.

Lex Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 January has to be the worst month to go sober. It's dark, wet and cold and there's not much else to do. If you're going to do it better to do it in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinkinFighter Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I'll definitely be drinking less this month, but signing up for look at me bullshit like this is embarrassing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawfield shed boy Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Alcoholics go to AA and dry out quietly. Attention seekers chuck it for a few weeks and bore the fucking life out of everyone else while they do it. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throbber Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Its the look at me shit that is so annoying, I have been asked specifically on 3 separate occasions to donate money to some dick head so he doesn't drink for a month! What sorry state of affairs can their life have got to that make them think this is some sort of achievement? At least do something slightly more interesting than not drink. The world has gone mad.

throbber Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Agree with Billy - summer is all about the boozing. What else is there to do to celebrate good weather? Or to complain about where the summer is? October is probably the best month for not drinking - summer is out the way and Christmas is still far off and its a good time to get your head together.

Boostin' Kev Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Summertime beers at The Shore are one of the biggest pleasures in life imo. You can catch the sun there until around 9pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throbber Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 The last 2 summers have been pretty poor in Edinburgh since i have lived here. My finest summer days here have been spent in Inverleith park or Portobello. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz FFC Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I stayed dry for the month of January in 2007. I wasn't doing the full 31 as Falkirk were playing Killie in the league cup semi on January 30th. After a couple of drinks you should have seen the nick of me. What a disgrace. We also lost :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.A.F.C Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Giving it up completely for a year, then take it from there. Hangovers, wasting weekends did it every year since I can remember and I'm totally bored of it. Been thinking of doing this for months now so it's no quick decision.

Blootoon87 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Although I need a bit of a drying out, I'm single so if I still want to attempt to get my hole I need to drink. Dilemna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invergowrie arab Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I've got Mike and Shiela coming round at 7pm. I'll need to be drunk by then to withstand the tedium of Mikes shed/astronomy anecdotes. Live post please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMC13 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Wouldn't consider stop drinking for a month. Few good night outs coming up in January for me and I don't have a problem so there is no reason to stop. Plus you need to drink if you're me after baring the pain that is football most weeks.
