well done to anyone who successfully managed it! :slight_smile:

Drank 3 times going to the football and one other time, so it wasn’t a dry January by any means.

Really limited the amount of alcohol compared to what I usually do at the match though, so reasonably happy.

STATS: Average units per outing 7.25 (lowest: 5.1, highest: 10.6); total spend: £52.30 (which seems like a lot and might motivate me to drink even less).

I drank 12 drinks the whole month. Every night that I drank I managed moderation successfully and didn’t drink at home once. Mission accomplished.

In December I wouldve drank that pints quota in a single night

I definitely had a bit of a relapse towards the end of the month but I also had more nights where I didn’t drink, so as long as I keep that up

Also I’ve lost a lot of weight so intend to continue

Wasn’t doing Dry January but was trying to cut back in a big way. Mostly not getting smashed when I drink and knowing when to moderate myself. Have been largely successful and have really reduced Sunday and weekday drinking too. Definitely eating a lot more snacks.

I think it would be nice to keep this thread going, it’s not just a January issue.

I drank on the last 2 Saturdays in January making it my least successful dry January ever. I’m not too upset though. I’m planning on keeping my intake down to 1 session a week unless there’s a run of social occasions and I’ll be having a couple of dry weekends in Feb. Gonna try and keep that going rather than thinking, ‘it’s the weekend therefore I will drink.’

Yeah my intention was never to be dry but learn some self control. The sessions I’d do at home would be cheeky then routine. That needs to be stopped completely!

Yeah that’s what I’m hoping to achieve. I remember back in the day I quit smoking weed erryday because I realised I’d transitioned from smoking when I was doing something (listening to music or watching a movie etc) to finding stuff to do while I was smoking. Somehow I never spotted when that happened with drinking. I need to stop doing it for it’s own sake.

This was also my intention and it’s working so far. It was getting silly.

Been wanting to try that Seedlip for a while, so got a bottle of it tonight.

Really disappointed, so they just have a great marketing team?

Its a trash drink imo. Had to deal with their marketing guys for work, they were the worst.

Was about to pick up a bottle for my pregnant fiancée. Cheers to you and @doubleespresso for changing my mind

I had the spice one (very clovey), apparently the other one tastes more like gin but I’ll probably never bother trying to find out after this experience!

Thank you for your sacrifice. £26 saved.

I like the one I bought Wor Lass. As I said upthread somewhere, it isn’t gin but it’s a nice alternative.

Very little to reccomend with this. Barely any flavour.

This is goood
