That's a long time.

I'm one day down if I want to do it, though, I guess.

I’m doing it also.

I’ve done it before. It does suck but it’ll help me achieve some goals quicker.

I kind of did it on my own since the first week in January. I did it to help get ready for a strongman show coming up in a few weeks. I don’t think I’m going to stay dry completely, but I do plan to severely reduce how much I drink in relation to past year. I’m trying to break that ability to always have some “special occasion” to drink.

Jose I was talking to someone Tuesday that brought your name up. I had been drinking. He may be your neighbor or something like that lol!

But I would definitely cheat for a baby shower party!

I’m still on vacation at the beach so that’s a no from me. I might need to head back into calorie deficit in March though, and alcohol is by far the easiest thing to cut out.

Not necessarily dry, but damp. Just cutting back. I don't necessarily drink so much that it would make a difference if I stopped. Maybe a rough night here and there. I had enough for Mardi Gras and the weeks leading up, so just going to take it easy for a while.

Same here. I've cut back to only one day per week since Jan. Zero beer, vodka only. Huge difference already.

Right there with you. Might make a hard rule to say no more than 2-3.

I’m only doing edibles. No booze. Does that count?

I've been dry since NYE. Posted in another thread too, but I had a couple with my dad watching bowl games that night, and prior to that was one at a restaurant on vacation in October. Prior to that was at a cookout on July 4th. I had cut way back last spring, and just decided to give it a go not having anything. Feels great.
