This means no drink to celebrate August. Okay, one more month. Then, we'll see.4

I'm going to join this bar a few days where I am visiting friends or they are visiting me - as I'm nearly drinking every day I think stopping/reducing from 5 days a week will definitely be an improvement from what's happening right now. Days I know I will drink:
September 8-10 (I'm visiting friends in Paris)
September 21-24 (friends from London are visiting me)

That's great. Awareness and wanting to make changes goes a long way and helps!!!3 -
I quit drinking August 15th. I'm in retail sales and work many crazy hours. I went from drinking a bottle of wine just about every night to completely sober and it feels AMAZING. So many empty calories I was guzzling down.. My friends come over every Friday night for drinks and the past 2 Friday's I enjoyed their company with water! I'm in!!26

Thank you for starting this again for September. I joined the challenge in early August, but didn't really do well. Too much stress and life happened (yes, an excuse) but I've recommited for September. My last glass of wine was 4 days ago, and so far, I'm not even tempted. I'm very motivated to remain "dry" through September.7

I'm in! I went from drinking 3-4x/week to 2x/month in August and want to keep it going in Sept.7

This would be such a healthy thing for me - I go through phases of abstinence, but it never sticks10
-
I have some celebrations in September that will involve a toast (or 3...). But I'm in if I can have 5 cheat days.2
-
No alcohol but I do drink pre workout supplements and protein shakes like it's alcohol3
-
I'm in.
Getting braces on the 12th Sept - so am knocking alcohol off the table to reduce fizz and sugar consumption.
30th Sept is a food and drink extravaganza before my gf goes back to uni - so that is my 'day off'4 -

I've done the dry January and it's easy to stop but drinking does become a habit - come home from work, tired, open a bottle of wine.... I'll give dry September a go though, just need to empty the fridge first...4

I am starting the Hormone Reset September 1st so this is perfect timing; need to give up alcohol for 21 days...thanks for posting this!

We only fail when we quit trying. It took me twenty years to quit smoking.7

I am In!! Hockey games and football games are starting soon, so it will be tough to not partake in the festivities. But I can do this. Even if it is just during the week!2
-
I am in! My one planned drink will be for my anniversary.1
-
Stopped drinking during the week in August. Only have cocktails on Friday/Saturday. I feel better, and weight loss is easier! I don't want to give it up completely - I really enjoy it!

I'm in. I love my beer, but want to reduce the number I consume, hoping to eliminate entirely. Can I still join?5

-
I'm planning on doing Whole30 in September and this is a requirement. I may have to wait until after Labor day, but I'm all in!4
-
I'm in! My birthday is on September 16, but I have a race on September 17 so that is an extra incentive not to drink that day.
I won't lie - cutting it out completely might be tough. But I would like to try to limit to one or two nights (aka the weekend) to start. Then maybe I can try Octsober

Finishing up alcohol-free August today and looking forward to a Sober September starting tomorrow! Whatever your goals, glad you are here!5
