My name is Craig, I'm 29, turning 30 in 2012. I've thought about and planned on taking a year off drinking for a while now and I am so happy I found this site! What a great thing to promote. I've been drinking on weekends since I was15 and in the last year have really focused on other things in my life with alot of success. I've always socialised with alcohol, met girls with alcohol and designed my life around alcohol. I'm over it. In the last year I've moved to Melbourne, got a great job, quit smoking, learnt guitar and started writing a book. I'm ready to leave alcohol behind now and see how much I can achieve! I'm looking forward to learning and accomplishing alot in my life now, thanks for having this suportive site! Kudos to everyone involved!
