    Dry...probably not. But I will certainly be cutting way back!

    I am. I think my nights out centre too much on alcohol. Hopefully this will be one achievable small victory that will motivate and contribute to bigger health goals.

    My husband and me are. We started two days ago. Aiming for a dry January then who knows we might aim for Feb as well. One step at a time.

    I am so happy to see so many of you are kicking alchohol to the curb for January! I took a 6 week break from drinking during the summer last year and it really changed how i looked at and felt about drinking. It really was a great reset for me. Since October it has creeped back into my life and I am drinking far more often than I would like. I'm hoping taking the month off will get me back to that place where I was last summer. I also lost the bulk of my weight last year when I took the drinking break. Alcohol always leads to poor food choices for me. I'm hoping to get back to that place because i felt better than I have ever felt.

    October led to the same for me and the increased drinking really set me back fast. My first attempt at a dry month. Fingers crossed... One day at a time.
