Anyone giving Dry January a go this year?
After catching the flu just before Christmas, I didn't feel like drinking over the festive period and decided to extend my abstinence into January. The last time I did Dry January was six years ago (as part of three-and-a-half months of no drinking before a half marathon) and felt much the better for it.
Day 8 and so far, so good. I've had the urge for a beer several times in the past week, especially after busy days at work, but have held firm thus far. Non-alcoholic beer can provide a decent placebo effect and doing sport helps to deal with everyday stress.
