@nathaliejacoby1 I’d see Bowie again.

Everyone is annoying me today, too much demanded of me, I had to work late, and I’ve had a couple of drinks. And that’s no way to start February after dry January. But I ate carefully. I moved my body. Baby steps toward perfect, right?

@elonmusk I just wish they wouldn’t show up in my TL at all.

Made my account private until tomorrow morning to test whether you see my private tweets more than my public ones

@nathaliejacoby1 No. Because if they weren’t aware enough to see what he was 20 years ago, we’re not on the same page. Or in the same book.

While I haven’t lost weight, I HAVE lost 5.5 cm around my waist & 6 cm around my belly, my face looks younger, anxiety is gone, & I FEEL great! Cutting booze is one of the best choices I’ve ever made. Onward!! #DryJanuary

I’ve had 2 drinks 8 times this month, huge change from drinking 3-5 a day! Have reset my relationship with alcohol. The daily habit is broken, and now it’s a choice to have a social drink—or not. I’m looking forward to cutting back to once a week or none now. And…

Observation: I’m feeling very out of sorts and negative this morning, which is unusual for me, especially in the morning, but I believe it’s because I ate a lot of sugar (frosted cookies) yesterday. I’ve noticed this in the past—a sugar “hangover” causing low spirits or anxiety.

@sober_laddi Congrats! I had my first social thing last night too and didn’t even desire booze. First time ever I can recall not using booze to overcome my shyness!

Last night I had my first social thing in which I DID NOT DRINK, people! And it was fun! Close friends. They had a few drinks. We all had a lot of laughs. I was designated driver. I did it! I didn’t even desire to drink something. I’m so proud of myself and happy. #sober

Oh wow, did my measurements. I’ve lost 2 inches off my waist and an inch and a half off my belly. 🙀🤯🎉🎊 #soberlife #odaat #DryJanuary

Scratch that: the weight is finally moving! I have lost two pounds! (I’m a person whose weight is stable from day to day unless I’m losing or gaining.) 31 pounds to go. 😄

You guys… I just did a video call with my mom and she said, wow what have you been doing? your skin looks great and your face is less puffy. I’m so happy! I may not have lost weight yet, but the health effects of no booze are happening! #DryJanuary #odaat #soberposse

Day 20 of #DryJanuary & feeling great! (I did drink a little on 6 days, but nothing since 15th & don’t want it.) Why haven’t I lost any weight?! I walk 5 miles a day. I thought I would have shifted a little by now. 😕 #weightlossjourney #odaat

I wish I’d known a long time ago about “hangxiety”! I’d never heard of it until a few days ago… and I’ve clearly been experiencing it for years! Wow, what a revelation! My anxiety is amazingly decreased or not really there as I get deeper into #DryJanuary. 🤯

We are told so many narratives about drinking alcohol! Even if you drink moderately, there are benefits to taking a break even if it is only temporary. Here are some of the things you may notice if you decided to participate in a Dry (or even damp) January! #DryJanuary #ATX

This really resonates. Especially the bit about not giving alcohol the credit for my social abilities. Have definitely done that so much. SO much. #dryjanuary #odaat

I haven’t lost any weight yet. Actually I’ve put 1.3 pounds on. Walking a lot. But have had more sugar than usual… Hopefully I’ll see some improvement soon—would be a nice boost. #weightlossjouney #dryjanuary

It’s day 17 of #DryJanuary and I have drunk on 6 days, (social events & my bday). But not much. And I’ve also had none on 11 days—which is huge for me, as I was in the habit of having some every day. Why was I putting poison in my body every day?! Right now, I have no idea.

@Chizzy227 Oh, well done. I’m so envious! (I’ve put on weight. 😩 anyway, it’s ok, it will happen!)

@tastymutton Hot Chocolate is my go to.... Ive lost 7lb since NYE.

I’m starting #DryJanuary… Really don’t know how this will go but I need to change my relationship with alcohol. I’m turning 53 next week, I’m 33 lb overweight because of booze, and I want health. Starting weight: 158.5 Goal: 125 wish me luck!!!

@Chizzy227 Yes, definitely craving sugar! One vice at a time…

@tastymutton Oh and if wine was your tipple... You will crave sugar. So find something to plug that.
