It's been about three/four weeks since my doctor told me I have gladular fever and I shouldn't drink for three months. i.e. until september. I never thought it would be too difficult, but it's killing me! Well it's not really, but it's stopped me going out, which is a surprise, I didn't think it would. How would you cope if you couldn't drink for three months?

I can, beleive it or not go out and not have a drink. I dont need drink to make me have a good time.
You can do the same as well
hope your feeling ok
i manage just fine.
Try to keep yourself occupied? Oh and I don't see why you can't drink orange heh? (sorry, I'm not helping)
So I don't think going out to a local club is too good an idea, as I have to dance. I can't not dance!
Oh and the reason I can't drink is because the glandular fever made both my spleen and liver swell significantly, if anyone were to punch me with reasonable force in the stomach, I could be in serious trouble, so I'm trying to stay clear of fights too. lol.
Yeah but y'see Kaff, you aint a 15 year old who needs to go down to the park on a friday night to get pissed on cider.
i was nine and a half years ago.
well, 14-year-old.... but yeah. it's still not a big deal, in the scheme of things.
17 year old who likes his vodka and orange and alcopops, actually.:p
I have more class than to drink cider. Just.
TBH the fun is kinda going out of binge drinking anyway. I just like to drink socially.
edited to say that I'm nearly 18 now, and more responsible with drinking than fifteen year old scallies who like to drink their cider.
Easily. I often go a few weeks, and occasionally a few months, without an alcoholic drink. I don't need it to have a good time, and don't need it to be able to have a laugh, or feel good, etc.
Snap.
Glandular fever sucks, i had it for 4 months last yr, but uve just gotta rest loads. Try not to overdo things, but try to get abit of fresh air, it'll work wonders :thumb:
I was just thinking the same thing! I couldnt move when i had it, never mind think about drinking.
Plus Chaos, be glad its only 3 months, my mate cant ever drink again since she had it.
