Dry January - anyone doing this?

Done so for many years (apart from last year whilst on cruise). Don’t find it especially hard as my body is begging for a respite from the wine. We don’t drink Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday (sometimes Thursday) generally but drink way too much the other days. February normally goes quite well then it all goes downhill for the rest of the year.

Oh and the days at start of week are not alcohol free if it’s hot - then I can’t resist ice cold rose

You all put me to shame ladies! Couldn’t even contemplate it I’m afraid especially not in January! As a breast cancer survivor I treat every day as a bonus and a glass or two of an evening is my reward for surviving another day! ???

No, I haven't gone "dry January", but rather, "go easy January" - not that we go mad , anyway, but Christmas is a time when I probably drink more than usual, so after Christmas, it's a case of not quite so much! Actually, this Christmas, we haven't had as much as in previous Christmases because either I or DH have been a bit under the weather on various days of the hols, so haven't felt like indulging. Moderation, though, that's the thing for us rather than abstinence. ?

Cutdownuary here as well - after drinking for ten days in a row over Christmas we have managed to have several days off, but its not going to last the whole month

No way! Too many birthdays this month and every month, plus my wine club. I have a sherry and a glass of wine every evening and I'm not going to be stopped or made to feel guilty for enjoying that.

Birthdays this month: DH, DD, DSiL, DS, niece and even the cat. No hope whatsoever of dry January. Like glammagran we dont drink Monday to Thursday but Friday, Saturday and Sunday are a whole different ball game. Our local is offering a free tasting for Seedlip, has anyone tried that? Its a new non-alcoholic spirit served like a G&T. Havent taken them up on it yet, but might try dry February.

I bought a bottle of seedlip the first year I done dry January, tipped it down the sink, absolutely awful!!!

I was doing really well with my dry January until this evening. I have been getting my books ready to hand into our accountant tomorrow. This is an annual task that I dread. This year I have had the dreaded hacking cough etc that is going around and I have been really tired so it has been much more of a trial than usual. I am almost done and will finish it by tomorrow but was so exhausted that it was really only a G+T that was going to relax me with our evening meal. Just the one though!

That’s good to know GrannyGravy13, I was thinking of trying that ?
