Come in here to talk about using alcohol mindfully, less, or not at all.

How was January for everyone? Any goals for February?

I had one cocktail in January and honestly could have skipped it and been fine. I am loving the better sleep and the craving for alcohol isn't there at all.

I'm back to being dry since the beginning of January and loving the good sleep. I'm overdoing it on the treats but I'm ok with that 🤣

I drank once in February, had 2, smaller than normal cocktails on Friday. It’s was nice to have a “normal” date but felt like crap the next day. Definitely rethinking if and how I drink moving forward again

Definitely rethinking if and how I drink moving forward again Liked for support, sorry you felt like crap. Just keep experimenting and listening to how you feel and you’ll land where it feels good for you. |

I’m here, trying very hard not to drink often. I had a big work event at the end of Jan that I knew I’d drink at, but am back to not drinking. Last weekend was 100% sober and I’m proud of that, but now I just need to find things to do on the weekend that are still fun and doesn’t include alcohol… right now I’m looking at tickets for sport events, but those are a bit expensive.

I finally got the zero alcohol White Claws. They are good! I drink sweetened sparkling HEB brand water frequently and they definitely don't taste just like that. They taste like White Claws without the alcohol lol.
I think for people who usually only drink hard seltzers for their alcohol intake, these will be awesome. Fitting in with everyone else with that White Claw can and such. I'll probably buy another 12 pack to bring to the beach in June. It will be nice to have those to drink instead of water earlier in the day or even later after I've had some alcohol and want something but not more alcohol.

And yes my first thought was damn these would be even better with a shot of vodka in them 🤣

I’m plugging along drinking less. I’m more removed from alcohol and it’s in my mind less. When I drink, it’s sometimes spur of the moment but it’s light or moderate. I am no longer tracking it as I once was. I think my life has picked up speed and I’m busy in my work and life and no longer feeling pulled to escape or turn off my brain. I want to continue like this as long as it keeps working. I am a big fan of hot sleepytime tea at bedtime as a nightcap. I usually put a sparkling water in my bag before parties even if I’m drinking. I’ll have one cocktail and then drink my seltzer for a long while. That’s what I did Superbowl Sunday. I wake up refreshed after going out now. It’s pretty damn nice.
