Alcohol, alcohol and more alcohol

You can do it!

Good luck! You can do it.

You can do it. I'm not a fan of beer. I would drink vodka. I haven't had a single drink in about a month. It makes a big difference. I'm now taking a multivitamin; I haven't missed a dose of my blood pressure meds; I exercise 6 days of out the week. I feel great. When I would have a drink, I felt like crap the next day. One day at a time; one weekend at a time; you can do it for sure.

Good luck to you. I find beer hangovers to be the absolute worst. I drink vodka these days and rarely if ever wake up feeling sluggish - but obviously, abstinence is probably best.

Good for you! It may be tough at first, simply because of the habit, but once you start feeling better physically it will be worth it and easier to maintain. And maybe you can add it back into your diet in the future, just in smaller quantities.

I would never delude myself, and this is regarding myself only, that I could ever stop drinking completely unless i was given a good medical reason why i can't. i know i need to greatly reduce what i consume in a given day, but i only drink beer and wine, so i can control the amounts.

I am in the wine business.

When I embarked on my journey, in May 2014, I decided that I would only taste and spit wine, not drink it. I did that for eight months. By the way, taste and spit, in the professional world of wine, is a normal thing. If I actually consumed every ounce of wine I have to try, I would be six feet under.

After eight months, I have added wine back in to my daily intake. The difference is that I now have it only with dinner, which means I consume less than coming home and having wine while relaxing and then having dinner.

It is counted in to my daily intake.

You can do this. You can make the change that you want to make. It will seem tough, at first, but then it will become your normal.

That's why I drink liquor most of the time. More buzz for your calories.

Dude imagine how the fat is going to melt off of you from that lack of calories alone. Even changing nothing else. My husband just had to do this because of health issues. He has just melted. I told him all along he got all his calories from alcohol because he eats like a bird. Now he is back in 34 jeans. He is loving it and said he doesnt need it. So cant wait to see your results!!!

Not to mention money saved from not buying alcohol. OP, you could always put what you would've spent on that weekly 12-pack towards something else you want; might help to motivate you if you start to find it tricky.

You can do it!! Hubby and I used to drink way too much on the weekends. And we always suffered from lethargy and stomach bloating, etc. Hubby decided 2 years ago to just stop, and he felt so much better! I kept drinking red wine (which to be honest was an improvement over rum mixed with pop), but stopped this year on Sept 1st and I don't miss it. You may want to find some tasty, low calorie, healthier beverage. We're drinking specialty teas, which are very, very tasty and little to no calories.

Good luck! You can do it! You'll find it won't be long before you don't even think about it anymore. CONGRATS on your first alcohol free Friday night!!

I switched from beer to straight liquor and noticed a big change, but even then I just drink a few drinks a week. It sounds like you might be struggling with moderation so this is probably the best course of action if you're not able to control your consumption when drinking.

Great job!
