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

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

Still not drinking at home. I’ve only been drunk twice this year and I’m happy to go at that rate, I’m sure this will accelerate as the spring/summer months hurdle towards me (got a busy April and May in particular)

But gosh I feel so much healthier.

I had this in the little craft beerhouse near Brixton academy, really nice

That’s really cool man, glad it’s made you feel healthier and hope it hasn’t felt like too much of an effort. The not drinking at home thing is great and seems like a good adjustment to make if you can :grinning:
