New Years Day

11.15am . Just woke up on new years day 2010 . No beer for a year , its stark in the cold light of day but fuck it ...... has to be done . Already Ro has been on saying that he will do 100 dry days in support ! Great stuff from the big little man . In fairness , the two bottles of wine , bottle of champagne & two final final beers of 2009 set me up nicely for this barren spell . Compliments to my hosts & long term friends Paul & Elaine for last nights festivities . Incidentally , Paul is giving up the booze for January too . My wife Lyn is going out in suppport too & giving up Chocolate for the year along with Elle. I dont know who will be more spaced out come next Dec. Off now for some brekkie & a walk in the snow !

A Year Without Beer

My name is Gavin Teehan . Seven years ago I discovered that I had testicular cancer . Not the greatest thing in the world for a bloke but thankfully following surgery, radiotherapy & the amazing support of my wife ( Lyn ) family & friends, I came through in good nick . I have decided to give up all alcohol for the year 2010 try to raise a few quid for St. Lukes cancer hospital . I hope to get family & friends to join me in my fast & give up the booze for various months during the year also .
Well its 1.53am on the morning of the 1/1/2010 & Im off the beer 1 hour & 53 mins . Would love a beer ..........stay strong , only a year to go !
