    Great topic!
    Alcohol is definitely my biggest downfall. For other girls it's chocolate but man, I see a nice cold, foamy beer and the temptation is insane. I have cut a major amount of alcohol out of my diet though, but sometimes I'll go out with friends and have one or two. The calorie content of alcohol never ceases to amaze me. Plus, I try really hard to limit my calorie intake after around 8pm - but that's drinking time! So even if I have a soda or whatever (local bar doesn't serve diet drinks. I know, wtf?) it still messes up my metabolism with all the sugar and such. Grrr.

    I totally blew it last night :( Sucks because I would have had such a perfect day minus the alcohol! I started and didn't know when to stop.. dinner with friends is dangerous! Go figure tonight my bf wants to go out, too. I think I will be DD!

    Hi, i am an alcohol dependent person and just waiting for my appointment to go into detox but at the moment i am under strict instructions to not cut out 1 bottle of wine a night just now as it may cause seizures if i stopped suddenly. (Not that i could really) Anyway i have more than halved my intake recently and i'm doing pretty well, i think. I'm trying not to drink before 6pm just now and i am trying to give up everything but wine just now (but sadly keep failing on the vodka/coke) Today i am hoping to just have the one bottle :) and i have poured the left over vodka down my sink! (first time i have ever done that)

    Oy! There you all are! *Ahem* That's what I get for not checking in sooner. Sorry about that.

    So my doctor is evil. In a good way but still, evil. I'm on anti-depressants again and guess what? They don't like beer one bit. The side effects are amusing, to say the least. Blah, what a way to get me to cut down on my drinking eh?

    So yeah, who's gonna pick up the slack for Bunny eh? :D

    last night was a win on the "no beer" and a fail on the drinking overall, I had two vodka soda for happy hour/dog walking then opened the bottle of red for a dinner of grilled steaks, and split that bottle, so yum.

    Yes, good job...as you are weaning off the alcohol take a supplement of B vitamins, B 12 specifically...they work on the nervous system as you are weaning...helps prevent seizures, withdrawls and memory loss from withdrawl

    TJL, congrats of taking control of your life and your drinking!!

    Bunny, I've missed you!! I'm totally picking up your slack, and then some.

    Monday=1
    Tuesday=2
    Wednesday=2 (fresca w/clementine and grapefruit vodka)
    Thursday=4 (red bull and vodkas)

    I've not been exercising with any sort of regularity...which sucks. I'm definitely more active during the summer, but it's not hard core exercise, which sucks.

    Good for you. I have a few family members that struggle with alcohol and I've seen first hand how hard it is so congrats to you for taking that step to take your life back =]

    As for me, a few glasses of red last night. Not sure what the boyfriend wants to do tonight, if he wants to go out to dinner or wait until tomorrow. Either way, I'm sure we'll have some drinks tonight. It's a gloomy day here today so the pups and I are just relaxing, watching some TV. Think we'll pick up the kitties on Sunday :smile:

    I'm gonna try to stay drink-free with ya Kim but I'm a little concerned about the annual golf tournament bbq that i'm going to. It's at a bar (my step-mom's bar mind you) and there is always someone there that wants to buy me a drink. I haven't had a drink in 12 days though which could work either way for me.... I've been so good, why not have one -or- I've come this far, why break the streak now!? Anywhoo... i'm gonna try and good luck to you:flowerforyou:
