90 Day Challenge – No Drinking!

I am ready to challenge myself! Do something that will be difficult. I am sure my friends and family will think I am crazy, but that is fine by me 🤗

My 90 Day Challenge:

I am committing to no drinking for 90 days!

Now the truth is I actually started this challenge on June 22nd (today is July 28th). I let my accountability partner know about this challenge and have stuck in strong up to this point. For some reason I decided the hardest time to take on this challenge. To this point I have had to pass up drinking at: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

1. An open bar event with Senior Vice President and Vice Presidents from my company⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2. My 27th birthday⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3. July 4th celebrations ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
4. An open bar at a best friends wedding⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
5. Every flight I have made for work that has had free alcohol⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
6. Celebrating a friends 40th birthday⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I am working harder to push myself to do things most wouldn’t. My family all thinks I am crazy for even attempting. I don’t mind others opinions and thoughts on the subject though. I will continue pushing myself to do things others think is crazy. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

Benefits I Have Already Seen⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Something that has been interesting has been the benefits I have seen from this.

1. Save so much money! Not sure why I didn’t think about this, but a large chunk of my Entertainment spend has been alcohol. Will see how my monthly spending reduces with cutting alcohol out.
2. Don’t have to worry about hangovers. It is tough to be hungover when you don’t drink anything! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3. Can be the designated driver for the party! Now my friends and family don’t have to worry about paying for an Uber if we go out. Benefit for them I guess haha⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
4. My body generally feeling better. The elimination of alcohol has made my body feel much better! I am also working to cut processed foods from my diet. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀

All in all, I am excited to see this 90 day challenge through! The 90th day will be September 20th. Time to get it and continue strong!

Key Takeaways:

• Challenge yourself every day to do something difficult. Challenge yourself to do something that will make others think you are crazy.
• Find yourself an accountability partner that you commit to. I reached out to someone to tell them what I planned to do. Having someone you commit a challenge to is important.
• Cutting out alcohol can save you a significant amount of money. I would say most people in their 20’s spend a significant amount of money each month on alcohol. Last month I spent roughly $200 on alcohol.
