My god are there ever a lot of alcohol-dependent people here...
(Not those who say they enjoy a drink here and there, and have no desire to give it up. the ones who say they can't possibly imagine giving it up for a month. That's a substance dependency, people...)0 -
I'm in and it won't be easy. I hope to hold out until vacation in Oct.0

My first thought was "great idea!" My second thought was "I have a wedding with a bunch of people I don't know on September 2!" So umm... yeah I will not be participating in this one, but good luck to you
That's why I backed out of no alcohol august. Turns out they weren't even serving alcohol at the wedding -.- shoulda pregamed that one.
That is just.... that is just not ok. They should have given prior warning or something. People really need to know about that kind of thing so that they can plan accordingly. :drinker:0 -
I'm in! Even though my so's bday is the 15th, I'll be DD
I was just telling my so this weekend that I wanted to quit drinking. Let's just say I had to spend $120 to wash and shampoo my brand new truck!
All bets are off in October, though. I'm getting married!0 -
I'm giving up alcohol for the rest of my life...
So, yes0 -
I'm in, but, then again, I don't drink anyway. For those who do drink, consider how many calories you will save. Why not set a goal not to drink until you lose X amount of weight? Say 20 pounds. Then have one drink and get back on for another 20 right up until you reach your goal.0

I've already decided to this about a week ago. Glad to see someone else thought of the idea too! I'll be right there with you!0

l'll join and try my best, because I know it's good for me. But I do love my whiskey...and I go back to teaching next week which always puts a stress on me. But hey....I did twice for 10 months while pregnant, so I think I can do a month!

Good timing for this post. I've been sober 67 days and don't intend to ever do so again.
September 1st is my best friend's wedding......we may have had a couple thousand drinks together. That will mark the 70th day sober if I make it through.
I'll take this as a sign/reminder to stay strong. Count me in!1 -
Great idea!
Oh wait. Going to Jimmy Buffett concert on the 1st. Nevermind! :drinker:0 -
I'm in. Ever since i wanted to lose weight, I gave it up, don't miss it one bit.0

Moderate alcohol consumption (no more than 1-2 drinks a day) is actually very healthy and good for weight loss. Barring an addiction, there's no good reason to give it up.0

JEALOUS!!!0 -
I tried to join no drinking August and failed because I drank 3 days in August.
I can say I've moved down to drinking 2ce a week only .. and thats the furthest I'll go.
So I will join September Sometimes... if there is a forum for that LOL
Good luck to you tho0 -
Sorry, can't join you on this one!! Especially since a new college semester is about to start, which basically makes it impossible to not have alcohol, lol.0

I'm in. I know not drinking wine helps my weight loss and decreases my got flushes, but I still drink it. Mainly Friday or weekend. Stopped for Lent all the staff at work gave up something and I felt better for it. Cheers - here's to us. Well it is n't Sept yet!!!!0

I'm in! I'm a student so I lot of the social activities I go to involve drinking... I don't drink excessively because I don't like it, but will have a few. But what a good way to cut out empty calories! let's keep this thread fresh!0

I just had a sober August, and I wasn't even trying. So, it could happen, but I'm not going to try one way or another.0
