    Alcohol is a poison, just like sugar, both cause addiction and are the culprit of many health problems.
    Wishing more people to get on with the programme. :smile:

    Hey hey now. I am all for people cutting out alcohol if they desire, and I will support them either way. But someone better not come over to me and tell me I have to cut it out to be healthy

    That definitely wasn't my motivation for posting this. I needed the change and it was what finally got me moving toward my goals in a sustainable way. I hope to be able to drink sometimes eventually, and I know plenty of people drink alcohol without it sabotaging their goals. It just took me a long time to admit it (combined with my habits and choices) was sabotaging mine.

    No worries OP I was referring to the member quoted.
    You ultimately have to do what is best for you. If that is abstinence from alcohol well I think that is great especially if you feel better and are reaching your goals.. keep up the great work!

    I fully agree that alcohol free periods have helped me with weight loss, but this has been short lived. Because I track everything, I mentally associate "I have extra calories left because I didn't drink" with "let me just fill in those extra calories with snacks yay treat yo self!" It's a very tricky thing to overcome, especially when my willpower and discipline to eat well starts waning.

    It could have been me writing this! Keep it up! I know how hard it is to give up alcohol, i am not quite there yet but working on it.
