I drank water at the bar tonight and got made fun of..
So, drink water with a lime in it and tell everyone it's vodka/gin on the rocks or a martini. Little white lies never hurt anyone. The teasing won't stop because sadly, the people that are in your pub drinking are not going to want to see you succeed. Keep it up!!!0 -
My goal is to teach myself moderation, I know it's not going to be easy but it will be worth it!!
Hi Elisabeth! I know it can be done. At my best I was only drinking on weekends and only AFTER a workout. My mom, who is a drinker as well went so far as to allow herself drinking and eating, but only up until 8 PM. She lost a TON of weight when she added in walking as well. We can do THIS!0 -
Hello, my name is Elisabeth I'm 35 years old. I have been married for 10 years and have 2 children, 8 and 5 years old. I love to drink... wine, beer, liquor you name it I like it.
Earlier this summer I started JM 30 DS and limited my drinking. I did pretty good, but then went on vacation and it all went out the window. I am reaching out for a support group from people who are like me. I like to drink but one drink is never enough, so I end up drinking to much. My goal is to teach myself moderation, I know it's not going to be easy but it will be worth it!!
Your honesty is encouraging. Moderation IS REALLY HARD. And the question in the back of my mind (our minds?) is "Am I an Alky?" Is it possible for me to be moderate or am I wired to be "Can't have just one" ? I know I am not willing to give up my cocktail libations, but the reality is I may have to.
So BRAVO to you and all on this group for being willing to examine our lives and our habits. Our goal should be to find balance in our lives, and that means something different to each of us. I should quit, and Joe Sixpak should trade his Belgian lambique ales for Michelob Ultra, and Velveeta D. Beutant needs to limit herself from 5:30 PM to 8:00 PM, and not start imbibing when Al Roker does the weather.
I'm going over to the August Goals post and commit to a goal and see how that goes for me.0 -

Welcome to the group! Binge drinking is my problem also, I'm working on cutting back not quiting. It's challenge but I know it is worth it. Good luck!0 -
