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

    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!!!

    I have some celebrations in September that will involve a toast (or 3...). But I'm in if I can have 5 cheat days.

    No alcohol but I do drink pre workout supplements and protein shakes like it's alcohol

    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' :D

    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...

    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!

    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!

    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 :smiley:

    I have no idea what the Hormone Reset is, but I'm intrigued. Care to share the details?
