    Sorry if this has been said already (didn't see it on the last two pages of the thread) but has a January thread been created yet? I ran a search but nothing came up.

    I'll Make a thread for January. Do you think it's best if I omit the word "January" from the title? That way we don't have to make a new thread each month. Or maybe threads are only for one month at a time.
    I'll look into it. Thanks for your advice!

    I vote for the defined time, one month at a time. For me it keeps the goals more realistic and reachable, plus a chance t o start over.

    I am so glad the holidays will be over next Tuesday morning!! I feel great about losing
    weight these last two months, instead of gaining, but it has been a tough experience since Thanksgiving.

    I agree. Rather than being this indefinite period of time, there is a beginning and the end where we get the chance to to start over. Hang in there @Westschmeis!

    Thanks, Julie, for starting the thread for January. I'm in.

    I think doing it one month at a time is also good for anyone who starts later in the month because they can easily get caught up when reading the thread.

    That happens to me, too. I'll be wide awake for hours after I crash. And then my heart beats fast like it can't settle down.

    Same here, @JulieAL1969 ! I didn't know the rapid heart thing happened to anyone else . . . or that it was related to alcohol. Thanks for sharing that; it's more motivation.

    And thank you for starting the new thread. I will be there!

    I am just the opposite...I fall right asleep when I drink wine and have difficulty when I don't. I started to read and listen to relaxation cd's and tapes...which drowns out my husband's snoring and helps me sleep.

    free of alcohol yesterday....hmmm....New Year's Eve...? I was going to have some wine, but maybe not? I just don't have the craving anymore, which is great!

    Been dry for 4 days. I’m debating on if I should buy myself a small bottle of preseco or champagne to bring in the new year. I’m not going to be doing anything so it might be a waste. I feel much better than I have over the past few weeks so I may bring in the new year on a good (and dry) note.

    I'm on day 80 of being sober and feeling pretty fantastic. My sleep quality is fantastic, I'm down 30 pounds, and my anxiety is manageable without alcohol in the picture.

    I don't post every day, but I do check in every day and read what you guys are up to. It's very encouraging.
