    Good for you!!

    I am going to be doing the same. It's very hard to stay on track with alcohol - not because of all the extra calories but also because, for me, alcohol gives me crazy munchies. It's just not serving a positive purpose.

    I stopped for 10 years (not for AA but just for me) then started again for a year.. I went out once a week but when I decided to lose weight, I gave it up again. I have to say I don't miss it that much..maybe only when my kids drive me nuts :drinker:

    My husband and I have given it up for the last month. (When we started MFP) I have to say, I feel great, I sleep better and we are saving about a $100 a week! Now the holidays are coming up and I am planning to go through them without alcohol. My next glass of wine will be in March when we go away for our 29th anniversary.
