I started this item several times in 2020, but then, you know, 2020 was 2020. January, I had a holiday party, gala, and bachelorette party that were all inclusive, so I decided against Dry January and scheduled in 30 days just before my annual conference trip, which was inviting hangovers with the socials, but was the first 30 days in the year where I could avoid social events.
And then, 2020... 2020ed. I started my dry period several times, and then, well, things kept happening. It was mostly political events triggering my desire for a drink, and, well, those just never stopped.
Even though things got heated just 6 days into January 2021, I managed to stick it up. The new year is always an easier time going dry with the start of the year, I think because of the combo of overindulgence through the holidays and my birthday and the excitement I get in beginnings and new goals. I had an easy time with it, except in the last week when I had several virtual game nights with friends and would have loved a few glasses of wine as I played along. But I resisted! Jan 1-30.
