Anyone doing Dry January?
 

I am going to do it this year and might extend till my birthday in March. I only drink at weekends but going to knock that on the head for a bit. I don't sleep well and rarely sleep past 6am so hoping if I have an alcohol detox it may help.

Anyone else doing it or maybe Veganuary?

Might do a couple of weeks, half dry January? [emoji23] just a Christmas detox

Can I do dry second half of Jan, I am away going away on Monday until the 11th, I am back on plan on Slimming world as dont want to come back to having put lbs back on so any alcohol will be very on plan so I suppose its more or less dry Jan tbf :laugh:

oh snap with me and Neem on second half dry Jan we could start a new trend :laugh:

I rarely drink anyway, only at special occasions like Christmas etc.

Dry day

Yeah i am. Been drinking way too much recently. Alright at the time, but such a massive downer otherwise.

Im doing 6 months sober (gonna try my hardest). Last year, i got my 6 pack back, good eating (1 cheat day a week), lots of walking and working out.

Im gonna start a "lets go" thread in the new year. Eat well, drink non, walk, lift weights, move etc. A thread where we can encourage, give tips, will each other on.

I’m always dry

Yeah I'm doing slimming world as well [emoji23]

:laugh: I have never been to a Club before but its not too bad and it works!

I don’t drink much anyway

Yes I am 🫨

Had to be the designated driver today in Edinburgh for my brother's big doo. 3 adult kids and I'm fecking driving :rolleyes:

:clap2:

I know you like a shant too. Proud brother!

I even drank very little Christmas day so I could really appreciate Gavin and Stacey at 9pm..and it was worth it

:love: not seen it yet

That sounds like a great idea.

I don't often drink, but when I do there is normally some sort of calamity.

I went out for a Christmas brunch in Birmingham and somehow ended in Manchester with no idea how I got there. No other trains back and hotels full so it cost me £370 in a taxi to get home which was 113 miles away

It doesn't bother me to not drink, it makes me feel quite down afterwards anyway.

Looking forward to getting back into a healthy routine where I'm eating better and exercising

I went there 7 years ago, I didn't sit down for the meetings but I went to get weighed every week, kept me motivated

The meetings can be handy with tips on what to eat to stay on plan if going out for dinner

I didn't stick to it that rigidly, if I went out to dinner I ate what I wanted, it still worked really well though (obviously I wasn't eating out loads)

I haven’t had a drink since April.. giving up coffee would be more of a challenge for me and i’m not up for that :joker:

i never drink so


well i do drink but not anything with alcohol :joker: i myself got fruit flavoured crystal clear spa water nowadays, or apple juice

Slimming World?

Paying money for someone to tell you to stop shoveling food in your mouth.

I'll tell you for free.

My birthday’s in January, so no.

Giving up coffee would be hard!

About 10 years ago I went cold turkey .. 6 coffees a day to ZERO

Stopped on Friday evening

Felt great all throughout Saturday

Woke up Sunday morning with a dreadful headache/migraine and felt ill for 2 days which included random/intermittent vomiting !!

Gosh. Remind me not to give up coffee :laugh:

I will NEVER give up coffee

Nice picture btw 😊

Its a serious addiction for sure

I barely even do that. I like alcohol during social times, but it has to be paired with good food. Food quality has gone so much overall, I don't see the point of going out to get anything to pair at home.

Sadly yes, I'm considering this when everything calms down.

The actual thought

:omgno:

I'd never poo again

I'm thinking about it. I've been quite overindulgent recently and I'm running a marathon in April so I really need to focus on my training for that. I also have hardly any social occasions in January but that can make me more tempted to drink because I love a solo couple of pints on a quiet weekend

I think I'll just have a mini detox in the New Year then see how I'm going. Might end up being more of a damp Jan than a dry one

I'm doing dry - water only January, February, March - 2025 onward. :p

I was talking to a guy in hospital who told me his friend beat the booze by being hypnotised into thinking water was gin!

That's how he got over his booze crave.

Excellent !!

I love water … thankfully we have probably the nicest tasting water around in the NW of England

Cool. :hee:

I drink very rarely and I don't binge drink so I feel like it would be pointless. I think it's a great idea for people who do drink though and I commend anyone who lasts the whole month!

I was amazed other day watching 2 different Asian people buy copious amounts of bottled water in Aldi. Do they not have taps?

Scottish tap water is the best water in the world

I don't drink

Then you are one of life's winners for sure.
