Had a lovely time there last year and want to join again if there is. If not, I'm happy to start one.

@milliefiori
I don't think there is one running at the moment, so go for it.
I have was on last year's and several over this year.
Are you planing it go completely dry for the month ? I am not sure I will be , over the past few months I have settled into staying dry during the week and having one or two drinks on a Saturday.

Hi @SamBeckett - thanks for replying. I am planning on being dry all month except for one glass of champagne at a celebration in two days time. I'll start one!

Hello, hello. I've been in a couple of huddles and dry Jans too but probably under various names. Been drinking too much over the summer/busy period at the beginning of term and wondering if this would be a good idea. Otoh I have a big handover on Weds and I am imagining the celebratory wine already ;-) Will have a think about what I can replace with now so I'm prepared!

@AndwhenyougetthereFoffsomemore - I'm happy to run a huddle which issues a free pass for major events.

I am in! Joined the huddle a while back and did a dry january. Drinking getting out of control over the summer so need a reset at the very least. Will be nice to have some company.

Hi
I've started a huddle in 90 Days as that's where it was last year. Nice and cosy and tucked away, and vanishes just in time for Dry January Grin!

Here it is

I will join too if that’s okay, I have a night out with an old friend on Friday but aside from that would love to be sober for the whole month.
I’d like to get to the point where I don’t drink in the house at all and only have something when I’m out.
