Trusty1 Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Hi there I have been drinking way to much recently,[devil] to the point I can't brew it quick enough. I am also buying the Coopers Sparkling Ale Longys as back up. SO, I'm having an ALCOHOL FREE WEEK[alien] Anyone out there joining me? I need all the help I can get. I might even try for some exercise as well![innocent] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trusty1 Posted May 31, 2010 Author Share Posted May 31, 2010 Sorry guys and gals, just to clarify, it is a week free from drinking alcohol, not brewing it, you can all get back to the fermenters! And it is NOT a week of free alcohol.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tricky Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Good on you Trusty [happy] It important to have at least a couple of days every week without alcohol. If you go without alcohol for a whole week that's great. [biggrin] (P.S. I won't be joining you) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muddy Waters Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 I only drink on weekends (the boss' rules [crying] ). I'll join you Trusty which means nothing for me until the 11th of June for me. I think I'll mark the occasion with the first sample of my Smoty Ale. [rightful] The fridge is now locked [rightful] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AussieJosh Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Muddy, 11th of June! thats CRAZY TALK! Why deprive your self of somthing you love for so long!? Well if you do it! Good on ya mate! Im sure your liver will thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trusty1 Posted May 31, 2010 Author Share Posted May 31, 2010 I break my fast on Saturday (my week started yesterday) with my first SMOTY also. Please don't ask me to hold out for another week til the 11th! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luthien Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Good on you for stopping for a week, this means there's more beer for us :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trusty1 Posted June 3, 2010 Author Share Posted June 3, 2010 good onya Fone11. does that mean you are in for the rest of this week, or a whole week from today? thanks for the support, I'm really struggling! Muddy - I hope your Mrs considers Friday night the weekend, FNFooty without a coldy? Almost inconceivable! And to show some solidarity comrade, I'll hold off until Monday, a whole weekend without a beer![pinched] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muddy Waters Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Muddy - I hope your Mrs considers Friday night the weekend' date=' FNFooty without a coldy? Almost inconceivable![/quote'] Friday is most definitely considered the start of the weekend at our house (My wife only works Mon-Thurs so she has to concede Friday to me [biggrin] ). I keep entertaining the thought of not having a few beers on a Friday and waiting for Saturday - but as you say - the footy is on so that doesn't happen. I can't not drink on a Sunday - because the footy is on. As for Saturday, well that is between Friday and Sunday...and the beers are already cold.[lol] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossm Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 G'day Trusty, ...if it is any consolation to you...I was half way through a week off the turps when you started! I do most of my work in remote communities here in the Territory, they are dry zones so I use them as my AFD but it is normally only for a couple of nights, this was a big trip so I was out for a week!

Trusty1 Posted June 4, 2010 Author Share Posted June 4, 2010 Ross - the reasons matter not. Welcome aboard. I'm interested to see what you do in remote communities, I'll PM you. I haven't noticed any discernable difference waking up in the morning, which is bad. As the old saying goes - if you don't drink, when you wake up in the morning, thats as good as you'll feel all day! Maybe it just takes more than 5 nights to make a difference[alien]!

AndrewF111 Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 I would love to join you but I have farewell parties tonight, wed and going on a 2 week holiday (not much drinking involved on holiday due to most of it's driving). Although I drink once a week due to the alcohol restrictions in our community Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trusty1 Posted June 10, 2010 Author Share Posted June 10, 2010 So my AFW is done and dusted. I had a few longies of HB sunday afternoon, and a few more Monday evening. haven't had any since and I feel terrible. That is the last time I go a week with a beer! Paul - How do I get a start with you? I have a big problem, does that mean I would get paid more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muddy Waters Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Well my drought finishes tomorrow. To be honest I have been so busy the last couple of weeks I'd forgotten that I was off the sauce. I'll get to taste my SMOTY for the first time tomorrow [biggrin] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trusty1 Posted June 10, 2010 Author Share Posted June 10, 2010 good work mud, I'm proud of ya. I'll get to taste my SMOTY for the first time tomorrow get ready to get hit in the face with a fist full of bitters! I tried one of mine Sunday, it was undercarbonated and bitter as all buggri[devil] . I'm not saying it was bad[innocent] some more time in the bottle will be fantastic.

Muddy Waters Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Well Smoty me sideways [sideways] Just had my first taste of my SMOTY! Bloody good stuff. I didn't find it overly bitter Trusty - I'm impressed (and I'm not really a dark ale drinker). Cheers PB2 - A very nice drop indeed! Anyway, no time to wax lyrical about how good it is I have to go watch Manly crush the Titans. Happy Friday to one and all [biggrin] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
