discussion Are you doing "Dry January" in 2025?

[jakeisphat]

Dry January is the practice of abstaining from alcohol use for 31 days in the month of January. 

 

 

Are you doing Dry January in 2025? If not, have you done it in the past? Did you notice a difference? 

[Bussea]

girl i'm drinking rn and my birthday next week 😭

[Nico Robin]

Maybe,  I still feel like **** because of new years. However there are many birthdays in January (including mine) so that probably won't happen

I did dry January last year and never went back! Idk if y'all saw the American surgeon general warning today about alcohol and cancer, but I'm not sure I'll ever drink again. Canada recently changed their guidelines as well. 
 

It's very fun and I look back fondly on my drinking days, but it's a substance that is incredibly bad for our bodies that also causes many people to damage their relationships and do things they regret. 
 

If you're considering it, I found it difficult at first but now am shocked that my life is just as fulfilling as before. I'm also much healthier and more toned lol. You also notice how much people embarrass themselves while drunk and how messy it is when you're not doing it yourself.

I'll try, I shouldn't be drinking anyways while on my meds

[Alldeezy]

I barely drink anyways think I'll only drink on my friends birthday in March so dry January and dry February for me

 

[Draper.]

I always do a couple of 30 days sober periods throughout the year, but it's impossible for me to start on January 1st.

Nope, it's my birthday month and I plan on getting wasted.

 

 

[Attaboy]

I'll be dry on weekdays in January 

[Dante Silva]

I haven't drank alcohol since 2021 and I don't miss it at all.

[KFC]

I tried and failed 13 hours into the 1st  so I tried again and failed again on the 3rd and now it's the 5th and I just opened a bottle of Prosecco 

[sugarysunflower]

No 

If you have to abstain from alcohol by doing Dry January, you're only kidding yourself that you have an addiction or dependency issue with that substance for the other 11 months of the year. 

[Sergi91]

Yes! I'm not drinking until my best friends' bday in March! 

[endless_sorrow]

Nope

I think Ill puke in a couple of hours also

I rarely drink and do illicit substances this past year and I hate that I actually do feel WAY healthier mentally and physically as a result. 
(not to mention going out to parties/raves sober has led to more wholesome interactions and new friendships!). 
Cutting back/moderation is such a great step! 

[John Slayne]

[qegqeg]
