I hit my initial goal of 4 weeks dry on Thursday! :) Since Ash Wednesday falls on Valentine's Day this year and I will be fasting that day, I decided to make a special early Valentine's dinner for the family last night. I put out all sorts of sashimi grade fish, condiments, rice and veggies. Everyone got to prepare their…

Made it through one of my major temptations last night! I always have a glass wine when I go to the theatre. In my mind, theatre and wine are synonymous. :) I was good last night and had a cup of coffee instead. -- Turns out, it's possible to enjoy the show while drinking coffee! Who knew? ;) BTW - The touring company for…

Towel off and start again. Don't let one slip end your good efforts.

I'm in! I started Dry January late so I want to keep it going for a while.

I'll join you over on the dry Feb challenge. I'm 2.5 weeks dry. Made it through the weekend visiting with family. Lots of hanging out, playing cards with lots of wine poured. I stuck with my Perrier! It's getting easier and I'm feeling great!

Dry Friday. I declined an invitation to the brewery tonight. I was briefly tempted to go but I held strong. Weekends can be tough.

I can't truthfully say at this moment that I prefer this to the red wine ;) but I know the…

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?

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…

Hi! I'm new here at MFP (joined yesterday). This is my first post. Hope you don't mind me jumping into this challenge at the end of week 2. I know that the 20 pounds I've put on over the last couple of years are primarily due to my alcohol consumption. I really enjoy a glass of wine with dinner and going out with friends…
