Dry January!

Still dry...had Mexican for dinner and it would have been nice to have a beer with a lime, but I had water with lime instead. Made the bill cheaper.3

January sucks all around really, lol. Cold, fat, dry etc. I'm late to the thread but I do dry January every year. I'm a social drinker so I tend to just avoid anything social and just go through my routine (work, exercise, sleep!)4

Made it through my first weekend of the challenge (joined late)! 5 days dry for me. The last couple times I've planned for a dry spell I've always found an excuse to add in an occasional drink. I'm finding this attempt much easier since I've made changes to my diet at the same time. Tracking my macros and calories and aiming for very low carb is an extra motivation for me to stay dry. I'm already feeling better and looking forward to more improvements in both my health and the pocket book!
Stay strong this week, everyone. You're half way there!3 -
For those who started on Jan 1(or so), we're done with half, including two weekends!
Wishing everyone good resolve.8 -
I’ve made it this far! Hopefully the second half of the month will go just as well! :-)7

We are not the only people doing Dry January. The NYT has an article giving a number of incredibly fancy mocktails just for people like us:

LOL... they might be zero 'proof', but I'm betting they are significant calories given they all have various sugars and mixers. I'll stick to my zero proof AND zero calorie flavored seltzer waters for now.
Still dry! I just ended a partial fast, and went to the store thinking I could buy everything again...had to remind myself I was still dry until the end of the month and avoided the wine/beer aisles. Not a big deal, but surprised me I was thinking I could buy wine for a few moments.7 -
Just made it through my first week! Yay me! Since I'm late to the party I plan to stick with this at least 4 weeks -- which takes me to Feb 14... which happens to be the start of Lent. Hmmm... maybe I'll carry this through Easter? Or perhaps a slightly less restrictive version, like 3 drinks/week?5

Only just heard about this today, It's my problem area so I'm going to jump on in and do 4 weeks as well.4

We don't get many snow days in NC. This kind of weather makes me want to just settle down in front of the fire with a big glass of red wine. -- Instead, I went out for a 2.5 mile walk in the snow and now I'm sipping on some Perrier.
I can't truthfully say at this moment that I prefer this to the red wine but I know the long term effects are better for me -- and it was a really nice walk.

Thursday starts the weekend! Not looking forward to getting home, workin' out, then settling in with a crisp vodka and diet tonic with a lime. I'll be looking for the relief death will bring resting comfortably in about six or seven hours!8

Ok so I haven't posted here in days, but I am happy to report that other than 2 specifically set aside special occasions, I have been dry for 18 days. So that's actually 16/18 days. I consider this a success and plan to extend this into February.4

I got a better kick out of reading this than I've had from a drink in a long time. Thanks!3 -
On Fridays my wife and I used to have cocktails and stay up late watching movies. Then, I'd be tired all Saturday. My goal tomorrow is to have a cardio session, a good dinner, retire early, then get up early Saturday and go do something fun!3

Day 17 for me in the books- my husband cracked open an IPA and it looked mighty tasty but I stuck to my sparkling water4
