NoI don't drink much anyway (maybe 2 alcoholic drinks in the last month), so my feelings are that I'll have what I want when I want. I've got a holiday in Italy, several nights out and a weekend away with friends coming up during October, so will probably drink more that month than the previous or subsequent 3 months!0

Stoptober is about giving up cigarettes, not alcohol

No, because I gave up on the 5th January and haven't had one since 0

What's the alcohol one then? Sober October or something?
I gave up smoking in January. Not 1st Jan, but mid way through the month when I couldn't be bothered spending so much on cigarettes.
Have had a couple since then, but no more than that. I find it worked better for me if I didn't say, "I'm never having another cigarette ever again," cos that's the one thing that makes me want one!Pink Sproglettes born 2008 and 2010

Maybe there'll be a Movember, too. Good cause, but I don't like moustaches. I don't like this new trend for thick Hipster beards, either.The report button is for abusive posts, not because you don't like someone, or their opinions0
