I've decided i'm going to try a 1 year challenge. Currently at about 2 months, and then I saw this thread so thought I'd chime in.
I’m not quitting due to concern about my alcohol use — quite the contrary — I am quitting due to a lack of enjoyment that is now bordering on contempt. I have grown to hate drinking so much that I've decided to I might as well learn the social challenges of not-drinking in social situations like weddings or dates.
I don't even like drinking while I'm drinking. So I'm just done with it. I think if I can go a year I will decide if I'm ready to just give it up for good.
