I honestly have no idea what's going on. I'm in the field for 5 weeks trying not to freeze at the mountain warfare training center. I'll just let everything play out and hopefully it'll be better by the time I get back.

Caved tonight, closed $5 mil in work today and had just spent 3 hours walking the HS for orientation for my 8th grade daughter lol

If anything, this month taught me a few things:

  • abstaining has gotten easier as I've gotten older
  • the gains in sleep, stress and overall energy from not drinking is pretty outstanding
  • discovered new NA beer/cocktail options
  • I still like a beer in situations, but don't miss the bourbon like I thought I would

Will probably leave February open before taking another break during Lent per tradition.

Had a few caipirinhas in Brazil last week (it's summer down there so it doesn't count as January right ???) but aside from that, quest completed. Abstained during multiple poker nights and fundraiser dinners. Have a friends bday celebration tonight so I'll probably have one or two. I think this go around I've learned it's really not that bad and people seem to give less of a **** now and there's less peer pressure than in your 20s.

Made it. Planning to continue another week as a victory lap. This dry Jan was really helpful for me to reflect on my drinking habits and the impacts that was having on my health and relationships.

I have been training for a half marathon next Saturday and will likely partake in the finisher beer.

I've slowed down big time. I've got what I got and don't plan to get anymore anytime soon. A few will be gifts and a few nice ones drinkers. Def contemplated selling the pappy!

Besides getting sick the last few days of the month overall I feel much better. Down 8 lbs. Will drink minimally this next month as well. Goal weight should be reached by end of April and want to keep this up to get to that goal.

Haven't had a drink since Christmas Eve. Longest I've gone without booze …… since probably freshman year of college. Feel much better, more rested, sleep and workouts are better.
Really enjoyed the fellowship and support from this group - no homo.

I'll be hear long after January if anyone needs to talk or need anything therapy wise. Always happy to help a fellow Ag. If I can't help you then I'll point you in the right direction.

Made it through January. Looking forward to a glass of wine with steak tonight. I really enjoy the reset- especially after football/holidays, a time when my drinking really ramps up. Want to keep it to 3-4 drinks a week, vs 3-4 a day. Found out I really just enjoy pouring a bourbon while cooking and having a glass of wine with dinner even though I understand it is healthier to abstain.

So disappointing. Second dry January in a row and no weight loss from abstaining. Leads me to the obvious conclusion that I wasn't drinking enough if stopping had no positive effect on my weight. ;-)
