This is a place to motivate each other to control or stop drinking. It is also a place for non drinkers to discuss and share.

We welcome anyone who wishes to join in by asking for advice, sharing our experiences and stories, or just encouraging someone who is trying to quit or cut down.

Please post only when sober; you’re welcome to read in the meanwhile.

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.”

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?
