I joined OTI when I was still 29 and I live in a little village just south of Glasgow in Scotland and I fix cameras for a living... I started on the 1st of January 2023, so we're now a year which is quite crazy. For me, going alcohol-free always felt weird. I had many day ones, but it always felt very weird doing it... I thought, 'God, how cool would it be to go alcohol-free this year or to certainly just get Dry January?'
