Happy New Year..!!
I ran a Dry January thread last year and it went fairly well so thought I’d resurrect the idea for 2018.
A place for support, sharing ideas or just general chit chat.
This is my second year and I’m wondering if it’s going to be harder than the 1st time as I know what’s coming :D I liked doing last year as it was the kick start I needed to getting fitter & I slept really well too.
Soooooo....anyone else participating? |

Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound |
Good for you, Roxi.
As last year, I suggest people look at dontbottleitup and get the app to support reduction and giving up.

Go Roxi!!
Tbh I'm not a big drinker anyway so it's easy for me abstain.
Not today though I have some nice prosecco left that I'm going to enjoy with a splash of chambord 
After that I won't touch a drop until my birthday next month. |

I don't drink alcohol at all and Jill only has a drink if we go out for a meet
but I am trying to give up smoking |

This sounds similar to what I’m doing, I’m hoping to drop 1.5/2 stone.
Good luck with it |

I think you went against the thread with the beer earlier. Rum in bed is just compounding the issue.

I have managed it before. And I must admit that I felt bloody brilliant after a couple of weeks. It is amazing how much cutting out a few drinks at the weekend can make a difference. The real struggle is saying no to the odd glass of wine with dinner! |

Giving up drink wouldn't be a challenge for me as I don't drink often. Also I want to try my gift of rhubarb and ginger gin.I have never reached for the bottle to relax or finish the day off. I need to find the thread which is no chocolate month.Good luck for those taking part. |

Yep I planned to stop on 2nd jan but ended up not drinking NYE and today is day 7, committed to 2 months but will re-evaluate at the end of that time. |

No alcohol so far in 2018, plus healthy eating and a bit of running...and nearly 3lbs weight loss. |

Mine lasted a day ?? too depressed to give it up. Which is abit ironic as alcohol is a depresent.
Good luck to everyone who is trying to stay dry. |

The idea is that they pay your petrol instead of getting a taxi- or tell the tight gits to walk home |

There was never much chance of a dry January where I am - too many gigs, and after those a beer is de rigueur - but Jan has turned moist (I know, I know...) and from this weekend I'll be back on the bike, with serious distances planned, not just pootling around SE London. |

I got to May one year and realised I’d not had a drink since New Year. 
Unlikely to ever happen again... I like wine too much. |

Day 20 and this has been the hardest one yet. Still off the booze but boy it's not easy.
It's the only addictive d*unk where people try to shame you into having a drink. Holding out but not sure how much longer the will power will hold out. |

Now all the alcohol has left the body 7 hours sleep straight through from 1130 to 630 and the dozing off again until 8am, absolutely bliss. No more getting up for a wee at 3am or waking in a fugg or heading straight to the fridge to pour cold Coca Cola down my throat. Amazing. |
