‘Give something up for a good cause’, say Alcohol Concern, http://www.dryjanuary.org.uk they point out that if you give up alcohol for a month, you will not only feel better, save money, have no hangovers but will also reduce your waistline.
You can get people to sponsor you and help raise money for Alcohol Concern for research and awareness about the harmful effects of alcohol.

I am a mum and wife to a lovely caring family. I’ve suffered with chronic back pain for over 30 years and started writing my first blog in 2007 which covered back and chronic pain. Since then I have written many more blogs for myself and customers. I find it takes me away from my pain to another place. I love it so much I think it should be part of a recovery process after illness or surgery. I hope you enjoy reading through my blogs.

We had no alcohol at Christmas or New Years this time. The young ones had to drink elsewhere and keep any problems there.

Good for you hutt, I don’t have much just the odd tipple. I’m on too many meds to mix if I’m out as I always drive home.

Good for you Bushka, but I do think could be good for some who are addicted to it. Give them a better goal to reach. I’m not a drinker either as I take to much medication and it doesn’t mix. I don’t miss it though x

Excellent idea :yes: though I drink almost nothing, but I imagine it would be very helpful if you’re somebody who knows that they need to cut down. The fact that you’re sponsored means that you are accountable, and if other people are doing it too you don’t feel so isolated. I wish the campaign lots of success. Thanks for posting this one, Bar.

I gave up drinking well over a year ago because of all the medications I am on due to my poor, weak spine. I wish you a wonderful evening. And hope you have a pain free day. Xx
