I'm almost at 1 month dry.
Just today I'm beginning to feel like I need a drink but trying not to. :(

Nothing wrong with the odd drink but try to stay within government limits. (14 units a week).

Oh well, if the government approves it must be my civic duty to drink and raise revenue for my country by supporting the insane alcohol tax. :?

I'm totally not lowkey eyeing the hand sanitizer I got from work that says it's made out of 70% ethyl alcohol. I would never.

I'd be worried about what's in there besides alcohol.

Still trying to cut down. Have switched from Magners cider to gin and diet tonic to cut my sugar intake down. No mention of diabetes on my last visit to the doc so seems to have worked in that regard. Liver function was unchanged.
