Firstly can I say a BIG thank you to all who have sponsored my year without beer so far. As I approach the end of the first month on my year without beer I am really pleased to have raised £137 so far. If you would like to add your support to my alcohol free year here are a couple of options…
In 2012 I was raising money for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust and Cancer Research UK.
The last 24 hours have been interesting on the red wine front. Firstly I would like to thank my wonderful wife, brother and sister in law for polishing off 2 bottles of red last night. To be honest I had a great night as it is always nice to catch up with my family. My wife was more than happy too – after being my chauffeur while pregnant with our daughter I think she sees this year as a good opportunity to have me return the favour. I get the feeling she will be trying to make the most of my year of sobriety and probably enjoying the wine and beer even more knowing that she won’t have to worry about getting me home!
I would also like to thank the Hilton hotel at Heathrow T5 for giving access to the free bar in their executive lounge and a complementary bottle of red in my room. I decided to make use of the gym instead of the executive lounge and the bottle of red will be going in the car to take home to the wife. The ice bucket came in handy – I used it to cool the juice I brought with me while I was in the gym. Now watching the new series of Top Gear and enjoying my “Passion 4 Juice” – a delicious juice from Jason Vale’s 7lbs in 7 days super juice detox made with apples, pineapples, yoghurt, banana and spirulina.
For everyday juicing I use the Phillips HR1861 Juicer
