Need a new resolution? For those sober curious, come try Dry January!
“….cutting out alcohol for even a month can make a noticeable difference in your health. Regular drinkers who abstained from alcohol for 30 days slept better, had more energy, and lost weight, according to a study in BMJ Open. They also lowered their blood pressure and cholesterol levels and reduced cancer-related proteins in their blood.”

I’m in! I always enjoy the clarity that sobriety allows me to have when reevaluating my life’s journey in the New Year. I’ll acknowledge that you still get the uncomfortable bits of facing life’s problems head on, but I’ve found it gets easier every year and that the spice of life is found in the journey. IWNDWYT and for Dry January!
Mid month Checkin, how’s it going?
Things are good! Passed 500 days of sobriety earlier this week and wouldn’t have even noticed it if a college buddy hadn’t reached out to reminisce about old times. Ready to get back into spring weather and back active outside. I haven’t started my NY goals of reading and journaling, but have completed a few projects, and started others.
How’s yours going?
We are close together! I’m at 556 today myself!
Already ahead of you. Managed to not fuck-up day 1 so we are going strong!
You got this shit!!
Mid month Checkin, how’s it going?
2 days into the second month… going strong!
I’m in again this year! I do dry January every year and it always sets me on a good path.

Found my partner cheating (again) so I’m on a bender. Even my therapist advised quitting Dry January this year because the alternative was being 302’d.
I’m so sorry to hear that. :(. Take care of yourself. When you are ready to try again we will be here. :)
Hi. New here. I used to do dry January and ultimately stopped… due to life I guess. Proud to say that I’ve finally started back up this year and got my partner in life to join in. We went out for our first Friday dinner for the year to one of our usual spots and had a nice glass of lemonade and sweet tea respectively. Very happy with our progress. I hope this inspires others that need it. Happy days, ppl.
Welcome! There’s a daily check in here for you if that helps. 😁

Hey, thanks for checking in! Doing great. My partner and I are doing our best to fill in the gap, mostly just more video games and hobby time. We have not had one drop so far. Hope all is well your way!
The snowpocalypse is upon my state now lol
