Abstain
Day 1: I used to do this every year and occasionally I'd actually achieve it, that is a non-drinking January.
I gave it a swerve the last few years, judging that trying to make friends and being sociable more important than losing weight and proving to myself that I'm not an alcoholic.
However I'm simply not enjoying 'having a drink' at the moment and have decided to take the vow and see how I get on.
I have a couple of tricky looking fixtures in my diary this month including a trip back home but I'll try to bore you with regular updates on the state of my mind and my stomach as January 2007 progresses.
