CW watch count - enough to keep me very happy, but always room for more!

That’s what I’m shooting for. A dry 2024 actually.Tonywalker wrote: ↑Thu Dec 21, 2023 11:53 pm And there was me thinking Dry January meant no new watch purchases
As for drinking, I only have a couple on the weekends so no real reason to stop that for a month in my opinion. Though there were periods in my life where it was beneficial to give it up for a while.

Re: Dry January 2024
Like a lot of other responders, I do not drink enough alcohol to justify a dry month. If a dry January is what you think you need, than please stick to it! Although moderation does not come easy to some folks, it really is key ...
As for a full month of no new watches... Well, that certainly ain't gonna happen for me!

Re: Dry January 2024
Probably should take the month off as we failed sober October this year but I have a couple of nice bottles of Whiskey coming for Christmas which might scupper it.

Re: Dry January 2024
I'm not drinking any more in January.
But I won't be drinking any less, either !
Good luck to all those who go dry.
Regards Steve

Re: Dry January 2024
No penance for over imbibing etc, just fancy doing it again.

Re: Dry January 2024
Wow. I'm fond of beer (and a single malt) but I'd be hard pressed to buy anything more than a strap from the CW sale with the savings from a month of abstinence. Not that I've ever tried a dry month ...That's either a sale watch, or a habit worth kicking
I started out with nothing and I still have most of it left

As Vin in Magnificent Seven said:-
“Reminds me of that fella back home who fell off a ten-story building. As he was falling, people on each floor kept hearing him say, "So far, so good."
So far so good, one week to go!

Re: Dry January 2024
I was thinking exactly the same!
A big night out with the lads costs well north of £100. Few scoops in the week watching footy. Its easy done.
Thought my man maths was off but it would be easy if I didnt work shifts and some weekends!!!
