Interested in Trying Dry January? (www.health.harvard.edu)

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.”

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.

Mid month Checkin, how’s it going?

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!
