I generally do a month each year (as I drink far too much for the other 11) - just happens to be October this year, not because others are doing it.

I'm generally pretty resolute with it when I do it and have been even more so this time. I've decided to do another month, might even do until Christmas, might stop altogether. I'm really not missing it, I think I'd got to drinking as a necessity and not even enjoying it.

I've also kicked the fags (was vaping and smoking!!!!) and totally transformed my diet - had no processed meat, fried food, chip/crisps, pizza or any junk whatsoever for a month now. Also joined the gym again.

On the downside, I've had a stinking cold for every single day of October

New me and all that jazz
