Well, it looks like I made it to the end of January without a damn drink. Ha! I honestly never doubted I would, and it really wasn’t too terrible. I found that social situations where I would normally want a drink (dinner with a friend, brunch, etc) were more tempting than, say, the thought of drinking in general.
As of today, I’ve lost 11 pounds which is cool.
More importantly, my sleeping is better and I wake feeling more refreshed. I also think this experiment has given me more insight into my relationship with food, as it pertains to alcohol. I’m aware now that I overeat when I’m drinking, and that is something I need to keep an eye on.
My mom’s birthday is this weekend, and we’re having a celebratory lunch tomorrow. It is a pretty safe bet that I’ll be drinking 😉 It’s also a pretty safe bet that I won’t repeat this experiment next year… but we’ll see!

Yay you do it! Did you loose the weight just from not drinking or did you do other things as well.
It’s hard for me especially when I go out with friends, attend events etc. It’s nice to do a detox every now and then.
