I'm not gonna stop drinking, I cant for now. I just finished carbonating 5 gallons of homebrew.
Very nice, Bob. See you 2/1 with a beer in my hand.
Funny, I actually considered doing this in January, too. Basically for three reasons:
1. Money. Tough month for me and I need to be very careful with expenses.
2. Weight loss. I've been doing great, but plateaued over the holidays (no gain, though). Thought this might help kick-start things. I really have a long way to go to get to where I'd like to be.
3. Motivation. Been very lazy lately and there are things I should be doing around the condo. Perhaps a booze break will help with time and motivation.
I seriously considered this idea for almost a minute before rejecting it as preposterous at face value. But hey, I considered it. I guess that is something.
This year I've decided to take the whole month off from alcohol. I think it will be a good thing mentally and physically. Anyone else doing something similar?
I have been doing this for several years now, from New Years Day until my birthday on February 21st, in order to rationalize my overindulgence during the rest of the year. Never made it yet, though last year was the best: Feb 2nd. I friggin' hate January.
They know I'm abstaining for January, but it hold be interesting.
3 weeks in the books and all is well. I have a party Friday night with some friends that I usually drink heavily with. They know I'm abstaining for January, but it hold be interesting.
You my friend, have a drinking problemI haven't had any alcohol in January either ... only splashed it on my face
