    I just saw this today. Good stuff!
    I quit in January and was fine until July. I was craving a drink for days before which hadn't happened until then. Since July it's been a slippery slope. Not drinking til September will be easy but I'm looking to make it more permanent. Anyone with me til New Year's?

    It's really not as hard as it seems, like someone else here posted. Plus the benefits DO outweigh the buzz.
    My skin got better and my yoga practice had a leap in improvement.

    Anyone?

    Well done alerica1. Are you finding it easy and do you plan on sticking it out for the month of September also.

    I'mm 22 days and cannot believe how easy I'm finding it, whether I do Septmber or not is another thing, will wait closer to the time and decide then.

    I wish I had found this thread earlier...like the beginning of August. Sounds like a wonderful idea.

    I should really get in on this. My love of wine isn't helping my weight loss much. lol

    Edited to add: plus I wouldn't have this lil hangover now :O
    Join me in September! I had too many pre-planned events happening in August. I'm going to go wine free in September. Not sure about alcohol free, but definitely wine free.

    Sabine, where are you? Are you ready??? I really need to do this! :smile:
