Today marks four months in to my ‘Dry January’ and it has now turned into ‘Sober Spring’. Hand on heart wish I could say I’m feeling the health benefits - but the underlying reasons for doing this is where I’m at: Middle age, high blood pressure, general fat boy syndrome and family history is in the genes. But onwards into May it goes. We continue! Ready to go again. #dryjanuary #soberspring #boozefree #boozefreeintwentythree #alcoholfree #noalcohol #sober #sobriety #health #wellbeing #wellness

Hello Monday. Another little reminder popped up on my phone. 16 weeks in with no alcohol. I’d say I’m well into the groove now. With everything else that’s going on health wise, things stay as they are for the foreseeable. That could be weeks, months or in fact forever. You can’t crave what you don’t miss. #noalcohol #alcoholfree #boozefreeintwentythree #dryjanuary #sixteenweeks #soberspring #notmissingit

So today is a milestone for me. DAY 100: I’d done Dry January a few times and even managed to get to the end of March before opening the floodgates of alcohol once more. I don’t expect any praise or plaudits from anyone but this time has been different. I am amazed by the stigma attached to those who wish to abstain from alcohol. Here’s to the next 100 days and who knows, maybe the fall from the wagon may be spectacular. Maybe it won’t. Cheers! 🍻 #dryjanuary #alcoholfree #boozefreeintwentythree

Here’s to another 12 weeks of frothy coffees and pomegranate juice. Next stop 100 days. #dryjanuary #NoAlcohol #alcoholfree #boozefree #BoozeFreeInTwentyThree

Another milestone. 80 days into Dry January. I am proud of this accomplishment. I just need to sort my physical activity out then maybe I’ll start to feel a bit better about myself. #DryJanuary #alcohol #noalcohol #alcoholfree #boozefree #boozefreeintwentythree

Currently on Day 52 of Dry January. Don’t want to boast or post regularly about this but I feel so much better in myself. The reset is just what I needed. I want to go long enough to say I don’t drink any more and that’s a big commitment. Therefore no posts about this on any other platforms. Just me saying I’m on with it and I am enjoying the challenge. Just another one of 2023’s life changing decisions. #alcohol #alcoholfree #dryjanuary #noalcohol #teetotal #BoozeFreeInTwentyThree

Happy with that this morning. For a genetically pre-hypertensive / hypertensive middle aged man. Dry January moves into February. It’s the right thing to do at this point in my life. #BoozeFreeInTwentyThree #boozefree #NoAlcohol

So I’m not doing Dry January. I’m thinking of going ‘Booze Free in ‘23’. The more I think about it, the more I want to. There’s a couple of health issues I want to deal with, which will give me encouragement and focus to see it through. I still have a couple more days to think about it. #DryJanuary #BoozeFreeInTwentyThree
