Hi Richard64,

The hubby will be having a dry January.

I don't really drink much anyway, so it depends more on family. I don't turn down a glass of wine from my 94 year old Mother-in-Law or the occasional drink from my adult children, other than those, my year is dry.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

I was planning on taking a liver protector that inhibits the effect of alcohol on the liver and then getting a good buzz going and dancing in the new year on top of the local pub bar counter. Then I realized that was a dream and no such thing exists. So I will be dry as well 😊

Really good articles Richard, thanks for sharing. It’s good to see more young people are recognising and changing their lifestyles. We’re alcohol free in my household Christmas, January and year long but it’s amazing how many friends and colleagues lives revolve around alcohol! They can’t believe we can have a great time sober but as you all know on this site we can. Here’s to more people signing up for a dry January x

Most definitely!

I’m new here...how does this work?

Do you all chat about it and support one another or do you just make the commitment?

Merry Christmas,

First of all, may l welcome you here on behalve of everyone. You can talk about anything that you feel comfortable about sharing. No one is judgemental here, so feel free to open up. Most of the people here have been through so much, it's the sharing of this knowledge that is so helpful to others, it can also be very therapeutic in opening up. If you prefer, you can also send someone a private message. This can be helpful if the particular question is private.

I find that it does help to know where abouts in the world someone is from. The reasons for this is that it can sometimes become confusing talking about say liver transplant, and find that the system, and drugs used are different. It doesn't really matter what your gender is, but sometimes it's nice to know this.

Never feel embarrassed about asking questions. They may sometimes seem so trivial, but don't worry, ask anyway.

There is a wealth of knowledge here for all things liver. The only thing that should be remembered is that no one here is medically qualified, so can't comment on test results. What they can do is share their own experiences.

Once again, welcome and may l be the first to wish you a very merry Christmas.
