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 again this year! I do dry January every year and it always sets me on a good path.

Mid month Checkin, how’s it going?

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. :)
