Checked my blood pressure today and am thrilled to say it has come down… my aim is to bring it down without medication. So damp January, lower numbers on the scale and keeping my steps up above the 10,000 mark is paying off! I will check in with a final report on my January achievement tomorrow!

BP responds to good self-care, which is nice. It’s a good motivator for me.

Whelp, I’ve stayed dry for Jan. Some challenging moments over the weekend at a marathon conference. A strong drink would have hit well at the end of those days. And, I had an evening with people who love drinking. All addressed with NA beers and a lovely ginger beer at a steak place. I may have a few more of those in the future.

Goal is still to stay dry until a Valentines dinner on 2/10 and have that as the only drinking night in the month. 🌹

Little tiny, crappy detail that ruins everything... maybe. I drank cold medicine 3-4 nights, 10% alcohol. Duh, I guess this in all actuality and honesty has been Damp January for me, no buzz, no excitement. I'm defeated, okay maybe not...

Goodbye damp January!

Not totally happy with my final AF results but still less than Nov/Dec.

Final stats:

AF/no wine - 16
Wine - 9
LA wine - 6 (low alcohol/low cal Kendall Jackson chard)

Time to turn the calendar page - see you on the Feb. thread!

Final Damp Jan Stats:
15 days AF
8 days on target (stayed under planned drinks)
23 days total AF or on target
8 days over planned for that day (ex: 1 day was a dry day but I had one glass)

Messed up my stats yesterday - counted dry days in the "on target count"

Goal for Feb is 15 AF days, 100% on target

January down for the records. I am over the moon happy with my progress and results for January. The days when I had a drink (or few) there was a little uncertainty with what the next day would bring, but I conquered.

Did I think about having a glass of wine, most days, but I either substituted with my 5 calorie juice that looks like wine or just distracted myself.

Posting in advance of the end of the day also helped as I had already made the commitment.

With the exception of the bathroom trips (water), my sleep improved, I lost 8.6 lbs (I can't contribute it all to AF but I'm sure it played a significant part).

Still pondering February but no daily drinking is top of mind.

Thanks to all who encouraged me along the way.

If there weren't 87 days in January, I might have done better, lol.

I’m happy with how my damp January went. Lost over 6 pounds this month, some of them directly due to less alcohol. Had less brain fog and better memory of the day before. Blood pressure is down slightly, and it’s about time to buy a smaller belt! I plan to follow up with a damp February!

Raising my hand to a slightly misty 🌂 January.

Not completely dry, but not a monsoon either.

Join us over in February to continue our support to drinking LESS.

👍👍👍

Ended January with a bottle of wine last night. Overall I did pretty good and I don't have the urge to go back to daily drinking which is a plus. I'll join you guys again for February
