    I've haven't noticed a difference minus alcohol unless it gets in the way of dragging my butt out of bed to get the the gym. The key to my 31 lb. drop has been cutting sugar out of my diet.

    Alcohol IS sugar. It is what alcoholics with the DTs are craving. It is the sugar in the alcohol. Many people do not realize that.

    Alcohol is not processed by your body the same as other sugars. And no, when someone is an alcoholic their cravings will not be appeased by an oreo.

    LOL, umm, the DTs will stop and yes, adding sugar will help with the physical part, not the mental part. How long have you been sober and working with other alcoholics?

    When I started a couple weeks ago, my trainer told me that alcohol was the one thing that would really hold me back. Very social person and really enjoyed a glass of wine with dinner. I gave it up...it has only been a couple weeks but haven't seen any acceleration in weight loss. I am going to keep up with it for now...

    Just an update that I have had no alcohol for over a week and was given the chance to on Saturday night but declined. Feel so much better for it!
