Dry January - How was it for you?

[wilfandrowlf]

Today is the 1st Feb and I personally am looking forward to a drink tonight after work.

I did however manage it and am feeling quite pleased with myself, how did everyone else fair?

I also gave up chocolate for a month and I think it has done me some good, I would definitely say I've lost some weight, however it's too easy to fall back in to bad habits so I'm going to make a real effort to resist the temptation.

How was it for you?........

Covered quite a lot here: http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...

However after the initial week being tough, I found it easy, I have come out of it with more energy, better skin, half a stone lighter (was hoping to lose a bit more TBH) and more money.

I intend on carrying on through Feb too.

January passed in an alcoholic haze.

Weigh day at the gym tonight, also had no takeaways through Jan so we'll see if it's made a dent.
I don't really feel any difference, though I've been swearing a lot more at work according to me colleagues

What dry January.

I don't drink enough to feel like I have to dry out for a month. Generally no booze at all Monday to Friday and at the weekend it's usually only a couple of pints on Saturday so I never feel guilty on the odd occasion I fancy a beer on a Wednesday.

I tend not to drink so the same as last July, August, September, October, November and December......

Ditto. Is this really a challenge?

Similar here except the only night I tend to have a beer is Monday at the motorclub meeting (as long as it isnt my turn to drive obviously)

If I do go out for a beer on any other night well it doesnt matter because I am well under the suggested limits anyway

The same as any other month really. Is it really a thing thinking it's an accomplishment being able to not have a drink for a month?

Wet.

As our annual company dinner is in January (although cancelled this year!), I tend to favour a dry February (so starts today) and it's also a shorter month! I *am* going to try and stop completely though and see how much weight I can lose before the summer.

Indeed.

Actually January was veritably alcoholic for me, I had a couple of cognacs whilst skiing which is more booze than I've had in the last two years combined.

I didn't do a dry Jan but tbh I could have. It was pretty quiet socially so no big challenge in doing it in Jan.

Pissed it! Plenty of dry Martinis and dry wine!
