Over 2 calendar months without a drink today. Coming from 2-3 beers a day, previously. Did February, but told myself that didn't count since it's a short month, so now I've done March. I thought I would start drinking a bit now to "celebrate" but it's funny now that I'm here the urge is gone...

I'm going to Muslim wedding next month, so now I'm thinking I'll at least keep it up until then, just to make going to a dry wedding easier on myself.

I'll see after that. I definitely don't want to go back to daily drinking again.

Same boat (started with dry January and didn’t stop)!

I still feel good. Not sure long term if I’ll become more lax for special events but not for now.
