A 6 pack of IPA has survived in my fridge since Tuesday. I don’t think that’s ever happened 😂😬

Zero trouble staying on track this week. And really, my goal is to cut back and not drink during the week. I really wasn’t planning on drinking tonight, but I walked in to a vodka soda sitting on the island for me. Sweet husband. I’ll call it one and done.

How's everyone feeling? Husband and I are trucking along, just a little bored at nght, but that's okay. H and I are also a little bored. We have plans for next weekend, but idk what we’re going to do tonight. I can’t just lay around and watch tv or do puzzles all week, and it’s too cold here right now to do something outside. I need to figure this part out…

They're coming out with alcohol free white claws?? That sounds right up my alley.

They come out this month apparently. I'll definitely be picking some up. I over did it on beers so I don't really want a NA beer anytime soon. Haven't had a seltzer since our the beach trip last summer though.

+1 on being a little bored at night. I'm doing mostly the same things I would if I were drinking, so idk why I'd be bored. It definitely doesn't help that it's winter and we have been stuck inside for a few days due to snow storms and frigid cold that isn't letting up soon. Anyways. We are just about halfway there! I'm feeling great. Sleeping so much better and have much more energy and motivation to do shit like organizing and decluttering. I love this part of it.

Whelp, I did not have just one vodka soda Fri night. I had a few. And a margarita for lunch yesterday. BUT nothing last night and while I’d love a glass of wine right now I’m abstaining. I have a social engagement Wednesday where I’ll have one glass of wine, but other than that, I’m going to not have anything until Friday. Proud of everyone in this thread!

I've been pretty good sticking to no weekday drinking. I did overindulge on the phone with my out of town BFF last night but that was planned.
I also started WW so that has definitely helped in cutting back the alcohol lol. Drinks have so many points!!!

I am feeling good this year. Last year the first week was easy and it got harder as I went along, ultimately I stopped at like 15 days out of boredom. This year the first week was really hard- like so hard it was a reality check. I’m enjoying this phase of it now.
I’m headed to a bar tonight with a new mom friend that makes nonalcoholic versions of every one of their cocktails. I’m pretty jazzed!

I'm feeling really good too. I am loving having the weekend back to do things without feeling like crap. Going to the gym on Saturdays and Sundays has made me feel superhuman lol.

I am holding strong here, even with endless days home with my kids during this cold snap. I REALLY need them to go to school tomorrow.

On top of the stupid weather and kids home way too much, we got some bad news about our senior dog yesterday and we need to make some decisions in the coming days. I didn't sleep well last night but I would have felt way worse this morning if I drank away my emotions.

I didn't sleep well last night but I would have felt way worse this morning if I drank away my emotions. I’m so sorry. I know exactly how that goes. And yes, in the moment alcohol would probably help but it wouldn’t likely be helpful in the hours and days that follow. Being clear headed is the hard choice but usually the best choice.

Welp. I did not plan on Dry January but woke up this morning with awful gout for the first time. Red wine is my drink of choice so I’m going dry for a while.
My IG feed has been full of NA options lately. I guess I’ll be trying some out.

I am sorry you are making tough decisions about your pup microworm. I agree that it's so nice to not wake up feeling icky from booze.

They had a small section at target the other day which I thought was so cool.

Oh hi. I belong here. I envy those of you whose spouse is abstaining as well. I get really annoyed with mine when he drinks and I don't, which makes me want to drink, but not really for the alcohol, just so I'm less annoyed with him.
We don't need to unpack that, I just needed to vent.

There is definitely something wrong with my foot but I don’t think it’s gout after all. But I’m still going to stay dry through January. It’s been longer than it should since I’ve gone two weeks alcohol free.
