Hello my friends!

OK yesterday was a total fiasco. My new body does NOT deserve what I did to it!!! Also, being all cute and sexy AND so drunk is NOT cool!

Is anyone with me on this: one month without alcohol!

I know for some people this is normal, but for me it will be a total challenge. I am sure I can do it, but I would like some support!

    This would be one hell of a day for me to start. We're having my nephew's 15th B-day party @ Hooters. I haven't had any booze in about a month. I would love to support anyone on here, but I'll start tomorrow.:flowerforyou: :laugh: :drinker:

    For those who may read my "sig" and think, "What a hypocite", I'm not a lush. I only enjoy a few drinks every now and then and I don't drink until I get sloppy.

    Good Luck. :happy: I hope you can do it. You should give yourself a treat at the end of your accomplishments like a drink.

    None should be judging you anyway. I love your signature and also love wine every now again. So what! Go for it and enjoy.

    I did it for 2 weeks and it was good! Except that when I broke it and had a drink I was pretty dizzy on 1 pint of weak cider. I'd love to say I'll join you but it's the holidays so realistically...no :P

    Giving up alcohol is tough! I've gone 8 weeks without a drop as part of my 12 week challenge, the first 2 weeks were tough!!! I found it really was just a habit, I love wine but with that comes all the bad nibbles along the way and the depression the next dayI doubt I will ever go back to it now, maybe just on a special occassion

    I used to drink 2 or 3 Captain and cokes about 5 nights a week. For the past 8 months I think I have only drank 2 or 3. You can do it!!:smile:

    That would be hard but I think I could do it. finish my last bit of wine in the fridge 2 nite. I drink when I am stressed. I can drink bout 2 bottles of wine a nite well I use to but I noticed my stomach was looking rather bloated :)

    Good luck! I have just had my first alcohol free week since I don't know when, and last night I slept for 8 hours, which is a record for me! I'll try and do the whole month with you.

    I'd really like to join you on this challenge since I know that alcohol is holding me back from losing the weight. It's just so hard this time of year when the weather is so warm and sunny, I live in wine country and there's always parties everywhere during this season! But I will make an effort... promise :smile:

    Count me in! Went to a friends bbq last night and consumed way more alcohol than I really should. Now that i'm on MFP, i'm more aware about my health - and alcohol is not healthy!!

    Still going strong! That was my 10th day in a row. I can't say that I missed it over the weekend , but I'm sure the weekend had more hours in it! :laugh:
