(and indeed, eat feck all with a view to losing significant weight January) is when we are getting towards the last week, and you have done something tough for which it feels like you deserve a reward.
I mean- 22 days is pretty good. And beer is full of grains, which are good for you. And a couple really isnt going to hurt when you have done some hard physical work on your day off. Is it? |  |

I find the tricky thing about abstaining from anything for a period of time is the mental bit. If I'm not allowed something it becomes much more of a 'thing', and I think about it far more. I did dry Jan previously and it felt like I was annoyed every day that I couldn't have a beer, even though in reality I wouldn't have had any ordinarily on 80% of the days anyway. This year I'm not doing it, but I've probably only had about 8 alcoholic drinks this month in total without even being conscious of it. |  | | |

i do demi-sec january. it's much more civilised. |  |
| And so as the loose-bowelled pigeon of time swoops low over the unsuspecting tourist of destiny, and the flatulent skunk of fate wanders into the air-conditioning system of eternity, I notice it's the end of the show |

I don't get why people pick JANUARY to stop doing things they enjoy. It's the worst and longest month for that sort of thing. |  |

Because its a very obvious and clear starting point, which is very difficult to put off by saying "oh next month" and because it follows a period of intense excess for many, by the end of which one feels ready for a break from it all anyway.
Works for me. | |

Would you rather sit outside with a beer in the rain in January or in the sun in June? |  |

I quite like sitting by a nice warm fire with a beer in January and sitting outside with a nice cold sprite in June, if that helps. | |

Keep it up buh. I'm doing it again this year and the time's flying by. I've had no cravings and don't miss it at all. There's a couple of times I've thought about opening a can and had to catch myself, which shows for me it's just about habits. Last year I struggled and lapsed a couple of times, but this year has been a breeze. I'm thinking of pushing it out further to see if it helps me get fitter (I'm tying it in with getting back to a regular fitness/training routine). | |

I also find abstaining from alcohol easier in the summer months compared to the winter. There's so much more to do to keep you happy / busy in summer. |  | | |

It's tough. I always do January to April but this year have changed to allowing myself a drink on special occasions and watching the Six Nations (but not at home). I've hated being the miserable sad sack at a party sitting sober in the corner. Now I'm just the drunk sad sack sitting in the corner.

It can sometimes be a struggle, but I have been doing dry "January" for around 4,400 days now . . . |  | | |
