@JimBob1952, your initial post left a lot open to interpretation.
People typically implement lifestyle changes because they perceive a problem.
Diet changes are prompted by medical advice, family pressure, or when weight, health, blood chemistry numbers, nutrition habits, and/or junk food intake are out of whack.
Exercise changes - same reasons plus noticing our bodies getting squishy and our stamina/strength eroding.
Alcohol intake - same, same.
Sure, lots of us
without alcohol problems have occasionally thought:
"Gee, I've been drinking a lot lately - so many parties and dinners with friends. It's probably not good for me. Time to be more mindful on this front." And then we pass on alcohol in favor of water or a soft drink.
What we don't do is say, "Let's stop drinking for a month."
Not saying you have an alcohol problem - I don't know you. But your original post suggests it.
Either way, I wish you the best with your dry January.
