95 hours and counting!!...

[Electric ~soul~]

I had my last alcoholic beverage - a bottle of champagne - at 10am on Friday morning!

 

So by mid-afternoon today, I'll have hit the golden 100 hour mark!

 

Would love to make it until 6pm on Saturday, as that will mean 200 hours - something I have not achieved since a 17-year old.

 

Only thing that stands in my way is the night out I've planned with my wife on Friday - our first since young Dylan was born four months ago!!

I managed 262 hours from 10pm Sunday - 8pm the following Thursday (10 full days)

[Electric ~soul~]

I wouldn't describe you as having a bad drinking habit though, mate. That would only be an achievement if you had an alcohol problem.

 

The only problem you have with alcohol mate, is that the bottle of Smirnoff Ice gets warm when you've been cuddling it for too long!

 

With me and Laz it goes a little deeper than that. Which is why I'm well impressed with what he's achieved.

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

I drink more than you in a normal week mate!

[Electric ~soul~]

Didn't realise it was a competition.

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

It's not!

[Electric ~soul~]

So what point are you making?

 

That because, in a usual week, you drink more than me, that means you've got a bigger alcohol problem? And for that reason you deserve praise for going ten days without it?

 

That's [****!!****].

 

You're a good-time lad who goes out alot and gets pissed a lot. Fair play to you, but there's never been any suggestion that you're unhappy with that, or that you're concerned by how much you drink, or that you think you've got a booze problem.

 

And for the record, competition or not, there is no way you drink more than me. Probably not even half.

 

I'm not proud of it.

[MADEFM]

Why would you be unhappy drinking? You must drink at the wrong places mate. Go to the Crobar on Charring Cross road, very good establishment there.

[YELLOW]

Thorns probably drinks more over an average week but how much does he have in an average night? Probably a lot less than Zealster would drink.

[Electric ~soul~]

It's not a competition, YELLOW.

[Electric ~soul~]

119 hours now, by the way.

[CANV EFM]

it was a f..king competition for me last night..!! 11.35 am was the first pint of guiness went to bed at 3 am taking in a couple of boozers a casino a football match more boozers then drinking at home.. i have a massive booze problem...

im having a few pints of pride at lunchtime to take the edge off (a few means at least 5 for you amatuers out there).. then im gonna try to stay clean untill sunday week when im off snow boarding.. er how many hours would that be im not able to work it out in my current condition

[Electric ~soul~]

Errr... about 270.

[Laz]

1,245 hours!

[CANV EFM]

in hours it dosent sound that impressive // mine that is not Laz's..

i will feel fantastic by next week

[Electric ~soul~]

I may possibly have been imagining it, as it's only Day 5, but getting out of bed this morning was slightly easier, I have an incy-wincy little bit more of a spring in my step, and I'm even being a bit nicer to OfficeWoman.

 

Don't want to count my chickens just yet, but maybe not drinking is starting to turn me back into a normal-ish person.

[CANV EFM]

it definetly will.. careful you dont go too scarfer tho..!

[Electric ~soul~]

It's a worry. Bit of a Catch 22 that one!

[CANV EFM]

yes.. and as a father you also have a responsibility to bring your son up the right way.. the last thing he needs is to see his old man p.ssed as a fart at a wedding cos he had two sherrys..

plus when he rolls in a bit pissed after 3 pints when he is 17, if you are tee tolal you will be shocked and disgusted, when everyone knows the correct reaction is laugh and really piss your missus off

[Electric ~soul~]

Haha! No, I don't think I'm doomed for Scarferdom, Non-League Football and enamel badges just yet!

 

Tee total? No chance!

 

I'd like to at least manage a couple of weeks, though!!
