I can certainly relate to that. College made me a helluva binge drinker. I'll tie one on tonight but try to limit myself to a couple one day a week the rest of the year.

Interestingly, I haven't had a drop to drink since Thanksgiving but will probably have a few beers watching football today.
I'm in. I have some lifting goals I want to hit this year and want to get started off on the right foot.
In again this year. A reset after the holidays is much welcome.
In as well. November/December are always rough between birthday, wife's birthday, Thanksgiving, Christmas parties, Christmas Eve/Day, and NYE. Done a full reset now four years in a row through January and as long into February as possible and ready to do again.
I thought about trying this but realized I had already blown it for this year (by having a drink on Jan 1st).
Guess there's always 2027!

Push it into Feb one day. No need to wait.

Just give up alcohol for Lent. Much easier and you dont have to be Catholic, Orthodox, Anglican/Episcopalian, Lutheran, Methodist, or Presbyterian either since it's still a good idea anyway regardless of denomination
In, as always.

Doesn't have to be January. Ive done February instead and few times, and ive also done August several times before football season.
Went cold turkey on 12/13/25. So yesterday was 3 weeks. Feeling good and seeing noticeable improvements in quality of life already.

FYI for any younger posters who might have found themselves drinking more than they should aka daily, who are wanting to stop for the first time, DO NOT go cold turkey with booze.
Started today. Hoping to drop 10 lbs this month. Here we go.
Unless a person has been drinking 8+ units a day for a long stretch, going cold turkey is unlikely to result in delerium tremens.

Mmmm delerium tremens. Might have to have one for my birthday.
Day 1 for me
Started Saturday!
Not really doing no drinking, but I am doing a calorie cut and high calorie alcohol is out for the next 6 weeks. I will have a touch of rum or vodka in a Mio energy flavored water on the weekend if I feel the need though, until my cut is over.
