    I quit drinking for a month. I didn't intend to quit but it has now been almost 2 years. Miss it? Sometimes. It goes with my new healthier, more active, happier way of life. Give it a try. You may like it.

    I have not drank in almost 9 months...and I don't have the urge to really. I have my reasons for abstaining so long, and I am not saying I will never have a drink again, but it's liberating to be away from the bottle :-)

    I gave it up 19 months ago and my body is so happy :) You can do it for a month...you just have to keep your reasons for doing it clear in your head so if you are tempted you can think of why you stopped in the first place. Good luck!

    I'm 3 months into a minimum of 6 months without it, I thought I would miss it more than I have tbh!

    You can still have a great night out without drinking, best part is you feel fine in the morning too!! lol

    I've given up drinking alcohol all together till i have reached my goal weight.

    I did kinda the same thing. I started on MFP on August 18th. I had my last beer on August 27th, the day after my birthday. When I logged all the beers I had I was disgusted. I could have eaten a full meal instead (and I did!!). I decided a that moment I wouldn't have anymore alcohol until I hit about 30 lbs down. I'm now at 40.4 and still haven't had a drink. I figure if I can hold off until my birthday this year then I should have hit my goal and then some! A well-deserved celebratory drink!! We'll see if I change my mind at that time. lol

    I stopped drinking about 2 years ago :) Just had a glass of champagne on my wedding night and I think one cocktail with my mum in Greece. I don't miss it at all, and think of all the money I save :)
