    I've decided to stop drinking for lent but Paddy's day is going to be a tough one to avoid I plan on working a 12 hour shift to keep me occupied

    How is everyone else going about avoiding the beer on Paddy's day or am I the only one?

    Yeah, I'm off drink for Lent too. Two weeks and one day to be precise! It's the fourth year in a row, I've gone off it!

    --> Woo Hoo! Go Team Okie!! <--

    I'm thinking about giving it a miss for St. Patrick's Day too, but that could all change. I'm getting used to not feeling shítty in the mornings, not spending a small fortune when I go out, basically just feeling better for not drinking in general.....

    But, LORD I could murder a pint :D

    I don't think there have ever been as many birthday's, 21st, parties, celebrations etc as there is in Lent. It's like everyone is conspiring against me!! Or maybe I just notice it more through a non-alcohol fuelled mind! ;)

    Well folks, how did ye get on? Only three days left in Lent, did ye stay off the beer?

    I managed to last this long, no beer on St. Patrick's Day, 21st Birthdays or anything! Think I might ease myself back into it on Sunday though! ;)

    Off it since last October. I'll be back on it just before the jazz weekend this October. One full year. Didn't mind it at all at all, though of late I wouldn't mind getting very drunk.

    Had to cancel a trip to Amsterdam this summer too because I'm staying away from dope as well.
