- I do a Lent fast but not in meals, I give up all forms of alcohol & chocolate both of which are my daily staples. I transferred one of my demijohns of homemade wine into bottles so my wife can enjoy her glass (glasses) as I sip on my water 😢. Lent is 40 days but I include Sundays to make it 46.Feb 3, 2026 16:09
