Right so in recent months my drinking has got a bit out of control (again!) and I've reached a point in my life where I need to actually do something about it. So as the title says I'm going to attempt to do a whole year without a drop, sounds incredibly ****ing hard but gonna take it a day at a time and see how I get on. I've done it with various things in the past including drink so if my mindset is right there's no reason why I can't do it again, right? Basically gonna use this thread to give updates on how I'm getting on and almost blog and keep track of my progress. You lot can use it to offer moral support or to you know, take the piss a bit and tell me what you're getting drunk on Not even saying I'll definitely do the whole year but I need to do a decent period of time of a minimum of 3-6 months plus and if I get that far then it will encourage me to keep going.

Go for it mate. Brave move We'll support you on here and give you some Pep talk when you need it. Like you say, don't beat yourself up if you slip off the wagon, doesn't mean you need to give up.
I reckon we should give @The Liebherr Legacy an incentive. £10 each on here to Lieb's charity if he can make it until christmas without a drink ? What say you all ?
Good luck mate. When I gave up smoking a made a conscious effort to actually save the money and buy myself something I really wanted. I bought a pair of expensive headphones, and various other bits and it made it easier to keep up the not smoking. Not saying it would necessarily work for you but it may be helpful. I hope you manage to do the whole year. I look forward to regular progress reports
****ing hell steady on, let's not run before we can walk mate No need for that really either although it's a nice thought. From past experience I believe the only reason you will give up anything is for yourself. One day at a time
That's the thing mate everyone has their own little ways of what works for him and I've personally found different methods are more helpful for different substances. I've just hit the point where I don't know if I've gone past being able to drink at all or if I have to accept I'm a 'functioning' wreakhead. Hopefully if I can manage to do a decent period of time I'll get the answer to that.
Yeah true say, I always find the first month is the hardest and then it becomes easier for a while but then it gets hard again after about 6/7 months cos you get complacent and allow your ego to make you believe that you've beat it.
