Still here. Maybe a nice summer ale or something in a few months but i'm not missing drinking. Most likely because I was never a big drinker in the first place.

I've got a title fight March 9th so I've been dry since NYE, and will be until after that.

My GF and some other family are doing the 'Dryathlon' thing for Cancer Research UK though too, which helps!

One week to go to finish my first completely dry January since high school (I'm 36). Honestly this has been a lot easier than I expected. I rarely went out to drink so my problem was just getting over things like watching football and fights without drinking. I thought I would go nuts on the diet soda but I'm only drinking about 2-3 a day.

My month isn't over until Saturday but still going strong. Not really sure if/when I decide to drink again. Planning on making it a dry Super Bowl party this year. My gawd these chicken wings.

Who all made it?

Who all made it?

I made it. anyone want to do a febuary dry athlon?

I feel so much better than I did before I started this. I have a lot more energy, not as moody, more productive, I recover faster from the gym, increased sex drive and I sleep better, I could go on but you get the point. my wife said I barley snore now.

If we were in AA, we would have gotten a 30 day chip lol...

Thank you cauliflower for starting this thread. I am sure I could have made it through the month with out this thread but competition always motivates me to see things through. There was a couple of times were i was just going to say F it and have a few beers but the thought of admitting that I failed motivated to stick to the plan.

Who is in for February? I know the super bowl is coming up and that is a huge drinking day for most, how about doing February but with one cheat day? The cheat day can be any day of the month, it is up to you.

I am going for it.

Count me in. I would also like to thank Cauliflower for starting the thread. For some reason it made me feel more accountable to reach my proclaimed goal. Thanks OG!

Okay, my fellow DRY-ATHOLONERS....BIG EP made it all through January. Obviously, it was not tough considering I had mentally checked out from drinking early on.

Tonight, I did however enjoy a nice Padrón 1926 Serie No. 2 cigar and a cafe mocha at a downtown coffee house. Buddy told me since I wasn't drinking liquor/beer to enjoy some coffee with my night smoke and it was pretty amazing.

Count me in for February!
