    MissMaggieMuffin- nail on the head! Habit and now that I'm aware I'll be intentional. Great job!

    Congrats everyone! I stuck it out and it was worth it! :-) May choose to do this another month. Definitely cutting back though! What a difference!

    Wondering if anyone else continued on into February?
    I was able to do that. Even though there were times when I was tempted to have a glass of wine, being part of this challenge made me stop and think about whether I really, really wanted that glass. Turns out I didn't!

    My husband and I did. This year so far, I've had two drinks. I used to average one per night. He hasn't had anything since Dec. 31, and used to average 2 to 3 a night.

    Our current plan (well, his plan, and I'm joining him) is to not drink until he hits his weight-loss halfway point. Then we'll continue not keeping alcohol in the house, but will have a drink or two socially (date night or out with friends).

    I don't miss it, except for after super-stressful days, and it's nice to be able to use those calories elsewhere.

    Elizabeppes - I had 2 slips in February out with mates, but other wise still on track for a dry year and getting healthy! ;)
