I'm in for this month. I don't plan on completely abstaining but I know I need to drink less to meet my weight loss goals. I want to drink only 2-3 days a week.

I'm in too. I haven't decided on a goal yet, but I will sticking with moderation at the least. Also in because I like following this thread!

I’m in too, I’ll be carrying on as in Jan, almost totally dry, literally had 2 glasses of wine in January. Thanks for starting the thread!

I'm up for this. I'm about to start an anti-anxiety medication that requires me not to drink at all, and I am not happy about it. Still, I'll take sanity over booze.

I am in, trying to figure out moderation. Aiming to be dry from now until Feb 9th as the first goal and then go from there.

I am in!!! I got superbowl, my grandson's bday (alcohol incl), a play with my cousin. I plan to be AF the whole time!!!!

Count me in! I enjoy my daily glass(es) of wine but my progress is slow. Worst thing is that I'm drinking the calories that I've been burning each day through exercise! Gotta stop - not worth. Looking forward to supporting everyone and learning ways to kick this habit from all of you.

I stumbled upon this thread and it came at the perfect time for me. I've been thinking for the last week or two about how this is something that I felt was causing a problem for me.

I don't feel I need to cut out all alcohol completely, but I do feel like I need to save drinking for occasions that merit it and keep it to only a couple drinks at those events. There's no point in drinking a bottle of wine over Tuesday dinner at home with my husband.

Im in.. hopfully this month will be a better month. I know alcohol is the key to my weight gain so im going to quit it till im back into my skinny clothes. ( size 10) i joined the big losers as well, hopfully thats going to help also with this mth.
Last mth i joined on the 6 th and i slipped up once, thanks to the awesome support i got im stil in.The urge isnt as bad as it used to be. Ive got used to telling everyone ill have lemon in soda. Im finding its detoxing, which is a bonus. Im starting to feel great. Thanks guys for this team.

I'm definitely in! I'm only on day 9 and plan to go until at least day 30. Probably more!

I'm in - I was a stalker on the January thread and found it very encouraging. Definitely impressed with all the positive energy and support. I know I have one night out planned in Feb. but other than that would like to avoid it to keep loosing and getting in shape. Feels good to have a clear head on Monday mornings.

I have to admit, the weight loss was my key motivator at first, and I'm over the moon about it, but the other extra physical benefits have been amazing too. But I'm with ya girl! I don't even know what my lowest size jeans are at this point, probably 12s. But I'll be happy when they fit again. Being a size 10 again is a dream!

I will join you!

Count me in. This is the most encouraging and honest group of people. It is a pleasure to be a part of it!

Trying to stick to 5 ounces a day. I enjoy sitting with a glass of wine before dinner (with my husband.)

Working in the service industry, it's hard sometimes to turn down almost nightly post-shift drinks with the coworkers! Trying to keep it down to 2-3 nights a week this month.

I'm in!

MichelleWithMoxie

Hi! I'm in again for February for less alcohol like January has been! Not abstaining completely, just more moderately.

skilgore2012

I am in. This is exactly what I need to lose a few pounds.
We can do this!

bdbchick

Will be joining in this challenge for Dry February. I’m trying to think of another way to say dry February though. Any suggestions?

BuffMom84

I drank 8 days in January which is way better than what I was doing before (3-5 times per week) but would still like to drink once per week or less. Hoping I can learn how to moderate when I drink, otherwise I'm quitting altogether. Looking forward to February!

I'm in! I did bookmark and read every post for January. It has helped me a lot. A huge thanks to all that shared their experiences. I read This Naked Mind and plan on reading a few others mentioned in the January thread. I was able to cut down from my daily wine drinking considerably but would like to figure out how to be totally dry as I don't like how I feel when drinking so much. Part of the issue is that I am surrounded by drinkers and drinking in the sport that I do. Just about everyone drinks after the competition hours are over so it is pretty hard not to partake. But, I absolutely do not need to be drinking nightly at home. I have a champagne problem, lol!
