Thank you for that link. I've just bookmarked it to read later when the in-laws have gone! Looks good.

Had a dry 2018 up to last night. Half a can of guinness last night and wasn't bothered to finish it. Dry 2019 will be a piece of cake.

Likewise. Today marks my 11th anniversary. One of the best things I've done.

Yup, I'm going for it.
Don't really drink much but on home game weeks reckon I might get up to 15 units a week, which is just over the limit, so having a break for a month is well overdue. Hope I'll lose a bit of weight too.
Good luck everybody ��

I'm planning to cut down (as always) but meeting a friend for a NY's drink shortly so it's a fail today

Sort of.
As of tomorrow, I shall not be drinking wine, which is a regular weekend occurrence, until I reach my weight goal of 170 lbs. Having weighed in at 194 lbs this morning, I have some work to do.

I am.
I've had a bit of a troubled relationship with alcohol in the last few years. Not in the hiding it around the house sense but just having terrible drinkers guilt for a day or two after having a drink. Coupled with feeling like wanting / needing a pint or a couple of glasses of wine every day and it's been making me feel pretty miserable.
So I'm giving Dry January a go. If I don't make it I won't kick myself but I'd like to try. If I succeed I'll carry it on for as long as I can I'd imagine

I'd recommend putting aside thirty minutes of each of the 30 days to watch the short videos and complete the tasks. Feels a bit clumsy at first but all starts to make sense as you move through the process. I think it worked for me because it's not about abstinence but more about being in control. I hope you find it useful.
Can i ask what made you stop? Planned?

Not a weekend binge drinker since my youth days so therefore don’t feel the need for a dry Jan. I probably won’t drink anything anyway. Virtually teetotal.
I’ve had about 5 beers and a couple of whiskeys in total this whole December, that would feel like a dry December to some on here

A number of things really, but mainly doctors orders. Also my boy was 3 at the time & I was spending all my spare time either drinking or hungover. I tried cutting down but just couldn’t manage it, so found it much easier to just stop completely.

1) I need to cut down
2) I need to lose weight
3) I need to cut spending
4) It would make my wife very very happy
Those are all good reasons to cut down or stop but I have one big issue, I want to go out and socialise. I never ever drink indoors and I can go 3-5 days without drinking. So, does anyone have any ideas on how to get over the social aspect? For me, it is not a case of going out and not drinking, it will not happen, certainly not at first anyway.
