BRAVO to @trish1c really 29 days.....you inspire me to do "ALL AF February!

@CryingBlue is in.....who else is game?

February is the best month to do it if you are going to pick one, shortest in fact.....not a summer vacation time, not a major holiday. The more the merrier.....and stronger in number....

I like the Disco ball comment.....I am about to buy one off Amazon. I honestly miss the gym classes we had, with the dimmed lights, disco light effects, and sound system. Reminds me of my old disco roller-skating days.

Hi folks, I haven't been around that last few days because we went camping and there was zero cell connection. It is the first time we have been somewhere that had completely no connection at all, and it took us by surprise! Most of our camping trips there is a least a tiny bit of slow connection. Did plenty of hiking, some paddling, and cooking out at the campfire.

So my last check in on this thread and I am pretty pleased overall with how this month turned out.
Look forward to seeing you all in the February thread!

What an incredible month this was. Such a great turn out for supporting our journeys to drink less.

But it is not over, oh no.......this is only the first month of this year, there are another 11 more to follow. To help, incourage and inspire you.

Dry or not, goal setting or not. You showed up for accountability.

Awesome month everyone!

Home. Weighed myself on my own scale and it's the same...268, maybe even a touch less depending on how I stand. I've also lost about two inches from my belly (I measure at the roundest point) in the last couple of weeks. I was 275 on Monday.

Had a hour and 15 minutes before my flight, so I had the aforementioned whiskey sour, a Leinenkugel Honey Weiss, a Blue Moon, and a shot of Jack. Had no effect on me, but oddly enough, I wasn't really disappointed. And on my two flights, I didn't once think of getting booze once I got home.

Thankfully, I don't feel like drinking. I confess to taking a couple of tokes of weed, and after a week, it's more effective than when I was smoking every day. I really, really hope that I can keep my weed intake to a decent level...it's so much better when you wait at least a few days between "sessions." And I hope I can leave my drinking habit back in the Green Bay airport, somewhere between the Packers souvenir store and the Gravely lawnmower exhibit.

I am Dawn, I live in SE BC

I will post with my usual diary style to keep track of my AF days.
Keeping to my usual goal of 16-20 AF days per month, which is manageable for me and doesn't put too much pressure on me.

Saturday Jan 30 - Drinks. All that I did outdoorsy was shovel some slush off of my back walk and around my car so that if it freezes back up again that it won't be thick ice. The trails are really not nice with this thaw.
I remember when people used to put 2 drops of bitters in club soda if they had a sore tummy. I think that it has Quinine in it, so don't have too much more than 2 drops of it.
Sunday Jan 31 - AF - 23 AF days sits very well with me. February will be a shorter month. See y'all there.

Rolling total 23AF days out of 31 days

End of January accountability ~
27AF / 31 days (misty or dewy, not dry)

Goals I set out to accomplish:
Drink responsibly
No more than two standard drinks per day
Do not substitute snacking heavily after dinner( this one is still a work in progress)

I see some incredibly happy and positive posts above.

Hi dawn,

Out of interest what/where are SE & BC?

I'm guessing BC might be British Columbia in Canada?

Well done on the progress in January BTW.
