With a couple of weeks to go until I hit the six month mark,
I thought it was time to have a recap on the past 24 weeks. A sober montage if
you will. Cue Rocky style music.
- Decided to give up drinking for a year
- Told everyone about my decision. Cue lots of laughter and disbelieving looks
- Wrote a blog
- Chose a charity to raise money for
- Went to the pub. Drank soft drinks
- Dreamt about drinking beer
- Went to visit Claire House to see where the money raised was going to
- At work, organised dress down days and a raffle. Raised lots of money
- Tweeted celebs to RT my links. Got some responses
- Listened to many people talking about how hard they would find giving up alcohol for a year
- Reached 2000 blog readers. Many countries following my story
- Got in the local press
- Dreamt some more about beer
- Featured on work’s intranet page
- Created a webpage
- Drank some non-alcoholic beer
I would love to hear some words of support from you all.
Keep me motivated for the next six months! And get sponsoring too!
Great job on almost 6 months! You'll have a year in no time. I am curious; what do you plan to do after a year?
ReplyDeleteThanks. After a year, good question. I guess I will drink again but a lot more sensibly. I miss the occasional pint of Guinness so i'll be enjoying one on the 24th March!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Ian. The next 6 months will fly by, autumn will come and go, winter will be on the way out by the time you can drink your pint of Guinness, the snowdrops will have poked their heads out of the ground and the daffodils will be there to help celebrate your 1 year achievement. Keep up the good work :-)
