    I'm in...had 4 glasses of wine/champagne (as my alcohol) all year and probably won't be doing any drinking this month anyway...

    I haven't had a drink since Apr. I don't miss it to be honest! Best of luck to all of you who are going to do the challenge. :)

    Lana, you absolutely can do this. You can do anything for one day. Just worry about today. Just like watching your calories. Think of it as life maintenance.... discipline....growth....I realized how many calories and how much money I was wasting. Who knows, maybe the husband will decide to do it with you. Maybe :wink:

    Thank you!!! No hubby will not do it!! LOL!! Although he will limit it to 2 drinks when he sees that I am not drinking! But I always get mad when he orders a drink!


    It's exactly like you said to take it ONE day. Dont look ahead to Sat and Sun!!

    I'll do SEPTEMBER If anyone wants to start with me then. Send me a PM if you want to do September with me.

    (too many events, and the end of summer, for me to start now).

    I am in!!
    I have been trying to do this but I will occasionally cheat with a half pint or a car bomb... so, i will say no.
    I am pretty sure we will all feel a lot better.

    Since it's time for me to shower and go to bed, I'm thinking I made it through Friday alcohol-free.

    Can we give up angry thoughts next month, please?

    CMR = 3
    Alcohol = 0 zero nada, nuttin. :smile:

    I haven't drank for months. That being said ... you just need to go out dancing when you're drinking and dance it off!!!

    Well this will be easy for me! I'm 23, but I'm on medication that interacts with alcohol. I haven't drank since 6 months after my 21st birthday! :grumble:

    But I do pass out a lot of virtual beers! :drinker: Will those count? :wink:

    I'm going to try and join this challenge as well! I really want to limit my alcohol intake. It just gets in the way of my diet because it's so many calories and adds up fast, plus when I'm drunk I just want to eat a bunch of food! But I'm not sure if I'll end up completely abstaining from it since I want to have some fun and party and stuff before school starts at the end of the month, but I'll try!
