White month prop bet (1 Viewer)

[The_dude]

I’m feeling inspired by @CraigT78 and @sheikh617 and a good friend off mine (off forum) so I’m planning a white month/dry January aka no booze for 31 days (which technically starts when you go to bed tonight ). I figured if anyone was interested we could turn it into a group prop bet. The idea would be that anybody who wants to participate sends money to escrow, and the money gets redistributed on Feb 1st to whoever has successfully made it through the month without a drink.

I’d like to make it something significant so it‘s motivating, but that’s going to differ between people. Up for suggestions here.

Hit up the thread if you’re interested! We can always figure out the details tomorrow

I'm in.

 

[CraigT78]

If anyone is looking for motivation to give up the drink, for reasons other than that you break out in handcuffs - I recommend the book "This Naked Mind" by Annie Grace.

i (try to) do dry january every year anyway, so i'm in!

 

[sheikh617]

Would be too easy for me so I’ll watch from the sidelines haha. I drink like once or twice a month. Wishing y’all the best!

I'd say I'm in. But I would have one hell of an advantage. Since. I'm. Not allowed. To drink.... For 8 more weeks. And I started.... 5 weeks ago.

Bump for anyone who wants to join us!

Hey good luck with the dry month!

It has to be said though, the pro drinkers should always take the month of February off. It’s the shortest month of the year

 

[Klobberer]

I'm going dry until St. Paddy's Day. Trying to drop 35-45 pounds. Who's in?!

 

[Geremie]

I’d have to unfollow the beer thread if I’m going to have a chance at this

I'm going dry until St. Paddy's Day.

I texted this to @JeepologyOffroad earlier today. Hahahaha

But I don’t want a bet.

 

[Klobberer]

Last time I did a dry month/weight loss bet I scheduled a colonoscopy for the day before weigh in...I don't gamble!

 

[trigs]

I'm doing a dry month for January too, but I'll pass on the action. I think it'll be easy for me even though I drink regularly.

Good luck to everyone giving it try!

 

[Geremie]

28 days and counting! Anyone else keeping it up?

 

[joeyshin]

Aww man. I wish I had seen this thread when it started. I would have participated

 

[trigs]

I'm going to complete it. Wasn't a problem for me. Weekends were a little more difficult mostly because I felt bored but just tried to keep myself busy. Lost a few pounds also which is nice. I am looking forward to a drink or two though

 

[Klobberer]

Still going. Down 15 pounds.

Me and my friends from office used to get together and substitute alcohol with tea...
After initial awkwardness it worked great...

 

[warma]

Just seeing this. Too late to join dry January?

I still wouldn't make it.

On the other hand, Dinner without wine is like life without love. Sometimes you have to do it, but why would you want to?

 

[Geremie]

Anyone still going? Still haven’t had a drink this year

 

[trigs]

Sounds horrible

Good for you, that's impressive!


It's been about 6 hours since my last drink

 

[inapinch]

If this happens this January, I’d like to hop in

 

[trigs]

I'm planning on doing it again. Although, my holiday time runs until January 8th, so I'll be going 9th to February 9th for the month.

Where do I pick up my price if I didn't drink for 15 years? Lol
