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 -

No problem. One glass of wine and I end up in the hospital with a crohn's flare-up anyway.0

I realized that 2 weekends ago! I gained 4 pounds back after 1 day of drinking on the river! I have decided no more for a while so I am in! The sad thing is I ate nothing that Saturday and because of that i was sick all day Sunday and still gained it! Yeah I am in!0

I'm all in. Argh. Can't believe I'm agreeing to this. :noway: Can we have meetings and stuff? Like, Hi, I'm cmriverside and I'm powerless - etc.

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
-
So do we keep a running tally of each day we dont drink?0
-
<----big beer drinker here! It'll be a challenge, but I am in! :drinker:0

If you don't drink anyway, why not instead of giving something you don't have, give up one of your own vices.
I have looked up my schedule,
August will be no shot august and in the last two weeks of Sept and 1st 2 weeks of October, I have no drinking obligations!
That will clear me of 5,000 6,000 calories. Holy mother of god. No wonder my friend who had to stop drinking lost so much weight!
Adding up 1 nights worth of calories seemed obnoxious, but over the course of a month? That's almost a 2 lb loss!0 -
R U CRAZY LOL0

I havent had anything with alcohol since I started my strict diet on 6/23/12. It's been super hard, especially when my hubby and friends are drinking on the weekend. But I just keep thinking that it will all be worth it in the end! All I drink is water, green tea, iced tea and maybe a zero calorie red bull every once in awhile!0
-
I'm in!!! Started 2 days ago! lol0
-
I've been sober for 2 1/2 years now!! Anyone who wants support feel free to friend me!0
