Anyone else doing this crazy challenge? I know my workouts will be better not to mention how it will help with weight. No more logging wine ☺️.
Shoot me a line if your reading this and on board too!

    My husband has just announced he is doing it. So I will probably end up doing it by default since all the restaurants are closed and I don't much care if I drink at home or not.

    Yes. Count me in. Fewer calories, better sleep, all the reasons :)

    Same. DH did dry June last year, and it was tons easier for me to abstain that month, although he didn’t care if I did or not. During that month, I tried This Naked Mind “alcohol experiment. “ https://thisnakedmind.com/the-alcohol-experiment/
    I did gain insights into my beliefs and habits around alcohol that made it easier to moderate.

    Day 2 so sleepy. And it's Saturday! *kitten*. I can see neighbors next door from my kitchen. That means sports in the garage tv and beers and the usual chiding about not having 'just one'.
    Any advice will be noted!
    Maybe I will say I have Covid?

    Bring your own NA? I'm partial to Athletic's NA IPA, myself.

    Bring your own. People won't even notice or care. It leaves more for them! Especially with pandemic distancing, BYO is a standard practice and a smart one. Go have fun.

    I’m doing it. Day 2 and looking at some non-alcoholic beer to take the edge off this evening. Keep going everyone!

    There is a correlation between drinking and gaining weight for me. I eat more when I drink for whatever reason. I can't deny it.

    What works for me, is not drinking at all during the week. I can still have a few on the weekends..and this is how I balance my weight goals. I'd rather do this than just abstain one month out of the year..

    Day 4 (I started a day early). Really wanted a glass (or three) of wine last night! We watched a concert on TV. Oh well I can wait a month! Keep up good work everyone!
