Ok, I have to share this with *someone* so I'm going to bore y'all with this.
The last time I went out and had drinks was on June 30. July 1 I was walking the dog and passed our neighborhood haunt. Friends were sitting out side and tried to coax me over for a beer. I declined the offer and said "no thanks, I'm not having any drinks in July."
I had not made this resolution, ever. I love beer and wine more than any foodthing ever. I was nothing less than shocked when this resolution came out of my mouth. I was the girl that hadn't been sober for more than 5 days at a time since 1997.
The first 2 weeks were tough. But after I realized that beers by the pool were easily supplemented by unsweetened sparkling water... I was still able to keep the spirit of summer alive.
After a month of sobriety, I feel so amazing. I lost over 10 pounds and feel closer to my family and friends now that we've had a month of doing new things on weekends and such that were not centered on drinking.
I'm happy to join y'all in Alcohol Free August. Fun times!0 -

I think I need to try this, I don't drink alot but I drink almost every evening and I am not sure how long I have been doing it...if I can't do this challenge, then it tells me that I could end up with a more serious issue than the scale not moving.0
