Dry February Challenge

edited October 7 in Motivation and Support
Ok I am putting my hand up. Yes I have a problem with drinking, it ruins all my hard work. I am a weekend binge drinker and with drinking leads to bad food choices. So for the month of February I am going cold turkey, not even a glass of wine.

Who wants to join me?

    That's awesome! I wish my parents would do that! They cook extremely unhealthy foods, binge drink, and smoke a ton of cigarettes. I don't know what I can do to help...

    Well since February is the shortest month, I can probably handle that, although it will be tough!! Count me in! Do you want to start a group or just keep this thread going?

    You guys can do it!!!!

    Ive been dry since 1 January. Not something I had a problem with - but wanted to have a huge month. So far so good, and have dropped 10lbs (but yes, have been sticking to my calorie goals and exercising every day so it wasnt just the beer and wine lol).

    I am allowing myself 2 light beers (or glasses of wine) on Australia Day though - it would be UnAustralian not too!!! But thats it, then I am back on dry until 3 February (then I have my little sisters wedding in Tasmania, and family = drinking to get through it!!)....

    Go guys :)

    This will be especially hard for me for Super Bowl weekend, because it is in Indy this year (about 10 minutes from my house)!

    I once went to a big sporting event sober and it was alot easier than I thought, you get caught up in the excitment of the crowd.

    Good luck, :))) count me in. My drinking sabotages my hard running workouts and my healthy eating. It is self destructive.

    give yourself a free pass if you have a special event coming up, it's better than not doing it at all

    I'm in. I'm going to post it on Facebonk and try to get some sponsorship. I'm not looking forward to it really as I do love a glass of wine - or three - but here goes. :)

    How is eveyone going this year?

    I cannot do this, I am lucky if I can last one week. No willpower when it comes to wine.
