    I think alcohol provides very necessary calories. I would ditch a lot of other things first.

    I am starting today, but just for today. And then tomorrow I will try just for tomorrow. :)

    Well, I haven't quit over the past few weeks, but only having 1-2 drinks in the evening. Not too bad, but will shoot for just one or less per day over the next week.

    Just popping in to say I had a dry January and raised £250 for Cancer Research in the process (that's how much I drank originally and how surprised my friends and family were haha) and I know it's tough but keep going!!

    I've been alcohol free since July, it's not by choice but due to medical reasons. It is difficult when surrounded by others who drink and drink too much. I always make sure there is cold water readily available, sometimes flavored. I also volunteer to find a new non-alcoholic punch recipe for every get together. My basic non-alcoholic cocktail is Sprite and a fruit juice. Good luck!!!!!

    It's been 2 weeks and 2 days since I bought alcohol. I drank some the night I bought it, and haven't drank any since. I keep forgetting it's there. There are times I go months before I think, Hey, wine, and then I never get around to it.

    This thread is hilarious; I've found my people! I've been so wanting to cut back on the alcohol consumption, but then a fine Pinot Noir or IPA calls my name! And he has at least 3 tasty buddies that need to be in my belly. The torture. But 2 weeks eh? I think I can do this. I need to do this. All my good intentions get drunk away. Sober September here I come.

    Well, I haven't overdone it, but haven't quit either! Hmmm, maybe another try starting today. Not in it for the high, just nice to relax with a glass after work. Am I salvageable?

    I made it 2 days! It felt great and easy. But, tonight is pub night with my father. He needs it. It's his social event of the week (mine too, but don't tell anyone). Nonetheless, I will be indulging but will get right back on that wagon afterwards.
