Because I didn’t know the rules when I started - why didn’t you weigh in sooner!!

I’ve been wondering about the gummy people during dry January. That answered my Q.

Martha is in on the game too. Make sure you watch all the way to the end.
I knew she’d have to loosen up eventually… Snoop has been good for her!

Congrats to all the folks who made it through dry January.
I am ashamed to admit that after a full day of snowboarding on Saturday the 28th, I walked down the small strip of stores by our hotel and there was a local brewery right there taunting me. So I was weak and had a 16oz Double IPA.

Shame? I learn from our dogs. So honest. Not an emotion they have. Nice job not letting the perfect be the enemy of the good.
Liquor is quicker.

Hope you enjoyed that IPA shame-free.

Neither dogs nor cats have any shame. Our cats lick their privates in front of us with impunity.

My cat seems embarrassed if we see him fall off the bed or something, so I guess that’s shame.

pets are the best.
I’m sure it had nothing to do with the fact that I’m making up the rules as I go.

FWIW, we made it! We broke the fast the night of the 31st (started the same time on Dec 31st.) I enjoyed the experiment, plan to continue cutting back, and will likely do Dry January every year for a reset if it seems helpful.

Anyone else doing Dry January again this year? My friend has a 50th birthday party at a fancy cocktail bar on the 10th, so I might dampen it for one night only!

I want to do dry Sun-Thurs. But, this Wednesday has already gotten a little wet…

I read elsewhere that telling people about the cancer risk is one of the only things to actually affect drinking.

I am definitely planing on cutting down. My body just doesn’t deal with it as well as it used to (YUGE surprise there, since errrrything else gets so much easier 
), and I am concerned about the links to colorectal cancer.
Ideally, I’ll only be partaking when socializing and/or on weekends. Got my first ladies night of the year tonight, and wish I’d scheduled it a week later — after all the holiday madness. I’m also hoping to host movie nights where drinking is a more optional activity than meeting at a bar.
Ve shall see how it shakes out this year. Good intentions n 'at…

We are! I’m hoping to push it to Super Bowl, but that might be slightly advantageous…
