Dry January anyone.

[Dave7]

I cannot find another thread on this so hope its in the correct section.
A week ago someone told me they were doing it. For some time I have been aware that I drink far too much. Not big quantities but virtually every night.
So I decided to do it.
Big test tonight......Liverpool Vs Everton. Cannot remember not having a few cans plus a few whiskies for this fixture.
So....day 5 and so far no real problem....just the odd twinge when I think oooh a whisky would go down well.
I have no intention of packing it in but hopefully go to, say, twice a week. That would be good.

Good luck to you, be interesting to see how you are at the end of the month?! I lost quite a bit of weight when I gave it up for lent a few years ago.
I don't drink anything Mon to Thurs which gives me 4 evenings off which works for me.
I know quite a few people doing dry January this year, seems to be the in thing.

 

[Threevok]

Too late for me too

Plus I just got the "GYB" text from Mrs V

A mate of mine, like you, makes sure he has 4 off and he used to drink every night.
That may be a more realistic target for me.

Not a big drinker but definitely on track for this

Although next Saturday will
Be tough as my first week
Not on call and I like the odd beer and a relax with food cooked for me

It’s what I am trying except Sun-Thu . Hasn’t happened this week . But being as dad is in Hospital and has been since NYE and I have been up here in Wales and bored I have done well to only have had a couple each night rather than a tanker full

Next week it starts proper and will do the Dry February instead ...

 

[vickster]

Yep that's the plan...indeed dry Jan and Feb for me and most of March (before I go to Prague for a long weekend on the 24th)

I probably had the least alcoholic festive period actually for many many years

This I won't be doing...not least as I had Greggs sausage roll a latte and a couple of biscuits with cheese for lunch...and I have milk in the tea I'm currently supping

Not me, not so soon after canny remember December.

 

[LeetleGreyCells]

Not for 10+ years for me.

Tried Dry January last year. Still on it and haven’t missed it either. Best thing I’ve done without listing all the advantages. All pretty obvious.
