    I had a pretty great January. I successfully transitioned away from eating meat and now i’m on to culling other animal products with a goal of being vegan completely this year.

    For February I want to drink less and get back on my weight loss grind. Definitely need less cannibus to make that happen.

    Overall i’m feeling really good though! Like being part of this comm thank you.

      Ooh, a less alcohol goal? I just completed dry January myself and carbonated, flavored water really helped me. It had the texture I was looking for in beer.

      Best of luck to veganism, between you and me dairy is easier to go without than eggs if you’re looking for a way to start, and after a while you’ll develop lactose intolerance which helps.

        congrats on the dry january and thank you for these very helpful suggestions!

        i don’t really get alcohol cravings so much as socially my ptsd only relaxes when i’m tipsy and trying to hang out socially while sober i usually stress myself or others out so that’s something i’m trying to address in therapy. especially hanging out with my girlfriend i’m very loving and cuddly when tipsy but i’m a little tetchy and don’t like to be touched and can be snippy when sober. Ugh just thinking about it is stressful.
