    Thank you everyone! I did "fall off the wagon" :( it's definitely hard! But I really want to live a sober life. I wake up feeling sad and guilty and I can't do it anymore. Everyone always says quitting drinking is the best decision they made and I want that. I'm quitting again today and this is going to be the last time no matter what it takes :)

    I'm in the same boat. I'm quitting today. One day at the time. Wishing you luck!

    For the first few weeks it’s best to try and make social events things that are contracting to alcohol or stituation that you won’t be tempted or pressured into it. It gets easy later down the road but for now it’ll be tough since your friends and possibly yourself don’t realize how committed you are. Ask friends to go to a movie, on a hike, or to get coffee. Be honest with them and let them know that you are serious about not drinking.

    I wasn't a drinker often- maybe once or twice a month. But when I did drink, I went hard!

    Sober since 2012. Gained 50 lbs that first year after I quit and so far I've lost 27 of it. It's taking forever and been a real struggle. I badly want to lose the rest of that weight but addiction is addiction is addiction. Food easily replaces alcohol.

    32 years here (yeah, you read that right!) for reasons that have nothing to do with weight loss :smile: So grateful!
