I quit drinking roughly 40 days ago and I want to go about 6 months without any drinking. I'm still really tired and/or bored of alcohol so I don't crave it at all. It's almost depressing to think about because it doesn't bring me any enjoyment to drink really (I was kind of lucky due to this alone myself).

I want to quit until about May 10th even though I really don't want to think about it right now or drinking that is because I'm still bored of drinking if not just tired. If I do that I prepped for about 45 (roughly) days or roughly a month and a half before even starting. May 10th time frame would put me around 6 months and would be a long break. I wouldn't just start drinking again I'd just wait and see what happens so it might not be until 8-12 months down the road that I start drinking again due to something happening.

Has anyone prepped for a new years resolution? I don't get into new years resolutions that much myself, but I figured this works for now and I already quit drinking a while back.

I make them throughout the year, I don't do them on January 1st. The only thing I'll do on the first is set a bicycling distance goal for the year, and then go out and start chasing it. For other stuff, I start on the first day of each month. They are small and manageable changes that add up over time.

There's too much pressure from outside forces around New Year's resolutions that people end up dropping them.
