My grandma told me I needed to relax and have a drink. But I took a nap instead. Still no alcohol for me!0

That's what I do! When I feel like having a glass of wine at night I just go to bed early!0

4 weeks AF today; feeling good and sleeping well. Skin is clearer and the fog clears earlier in the morning0

Doing well. Day 9 AF. Feel great!0

36 days AF and 18 pounds later. No drinking has been a key component to my weight loss. No doubt.0

For those of you who don't know me, I've been drinking a bottle of wine a night for about 30 years. Yikes! My husband is my drinking buddy and he drinks the same amount. In August we decided to give it up thinking that maybe someday down the road we'd be able to have a glass or 2 and stop at that. Well, I had 2 slip ups in the last 70 days. Both times I did not stop after a glass or 2 but consumed the whole bottle. As we age, I'm sure the damage from our poisoned livers will catch up with one or both of us. It has to stop now. So, here we go again. . .
Hi , I'm new to MFP. I wanted to say I also can relate. My husband & I love to drink wine every night too. I gave it up 3 weeks ago. He has had a few beers and wiskey on Saturday nights. It is hard but there are so many good reasons to quit. Also I read an article that said after 5 months of healthy eating & no alcohol your liver can detox and repair itself. Also milk thistle is great for the liver. I am glad there are other people out there that are also trying to quit or cut back. Hang in there!0 -
I've been at it since July, and while I have an occasional slip on the weekend, I can now not even imagine drinking every night again,especially a weeknight! I think of all the money I have saved as well as the health benefits.0

Great job Tina. Thanks for posting! Most of us don't really want to be alcohol free, really, but are finding the alternative of attempts at moderation to be inadequate for maintaining a healthy lifestyle and weight.0

Made it!! Had dinner and didn't order wine. Don't know why this was such a tough night for me.0

Attended a wedding of a good friend last night, did have wine but only 1 glass. It was a Zinfindel and definitely not my favorite so it was easy to stick to only one. Didn't crave any more and I don't today either. I was happy I was able to do that

Derailed last night at our big family dinner and had 4 (?) glasses of white wine. Wow. Ok. My birthday is right before Halloween and I don't, don't, don't want to drink at the surprise party my son and his wife are throwing this coming weekend. That's my goal for this week!0
