The last time I took a full month of sobriety was 3 years ago.
I won't be changing much else in my diet - keen to see just how much of an impact it's been having on my weight, mood and energy levels.
I don't remember the last time I took an entire month off of drinking but it's probably been since I was pregnant/breastfeeding 6 years ago, lol.
Welcome!!1 -

Day 63....no alcohol for me....I've been in this all alone...Last night Family came by with beer and of course candy was all over with 5 Grandkids out trick or treating....I had a quick impulse to have just one....Then went to my room till the crave left...I promised myself to get well...And drinking alcohol is like pouring gasoline into your gut...That's how your stomach and other organs feel..So keeping that thought going helps me..I was a soda junkie....120+ oz every day...5 months off that...Water only..My body is slowly healing...Mental too..The anxiety and insomnia are a bit disturbing...Eating food instead of drinking soda for breakfast...Having dinner instead of 3_4 beers...My body thanks me...I'm a bit grumpy...That will pass over time...Add me...I'd love to feel loved and supported in this...Feeling alone don't feel good10

Welcome!! I did have several beers last night and way too much pizza. My tummy was not happy with me all night. But I'm ready now for this month, hopefully. I know it's going to be the hardest for me on the weekends. I'm home alone with my 7 year old every weekend while my husband works 14 hr shifts and I get very, very bored. I can only do so much cleaning. I've gotten in the habit of drinking a few beers or rum and cokes in the afternoons leading up to dinner, mainly just to pass the time. It's not bad accept that lately I've been doing that every weekend day. I also got in to the habit of having beer with dinner, enjoying the fizziness, but I've curbed that during the weekdays with sparkling water. Other than that I only ever drink water and coffee. Never soda by itself, I just don't like it. But yes, all this alcohol is just not good for me, mentally or physically and there is no time like the present to get it back under control!! I'm hoping we can all cheer each other on and by the end of the month have a greater perspective of the whole situation.2 -
Im in....... I've been wanting to do this, but there was always something going on... I have no pre-determinded plans for November, so this will work out well, I kinda quit smoking too about 2 month ago, I quit until " lets have some drinks" time rolls around, drinks and smoking seem to go hand and hand for me, so this is going to be a two fer for me............ No drinking, and no smoking...........2

That's great! I'm the same way with November. The only thing is my husband's bday in the middle and I'll just see at that time. Thankfully my husband's family are not drinkers at all, if we were going to be with my family for Thanksgiving it would be wine for e'rybody, lol.0 -
Ugh...I have a cruise this month! Sigh....okay, will hope for the best. This ought to be a good one LOL!2

I've been on a couple cruises and oddly I don't like to drink alcohol on them. I get a bit motion sick which isn't too bad but it makes me not want to have more than maybe one beer. The food on the other hand.....

I WANT to do this, but I'm hemming because Thanksgiving dinner without a special bottle of wine to go with our turkey, well not sure I can do that ....... and the day after we will cut our tree and visit our favorite winery afterwards. Can I say no alcohol for the month except those two days?
This is exactly the predicament I am in. I want to do it but I know Thanksgiving day and the day after will be tough.

No reason you can't commit to the rest of the month! Holidays are always the exception

I in as well. I have tried so many times and failed, but this time i am going to be intentional about it. I even told my family and friends not to call me to go out.0

I'm a newby to the comments section here on MFP but I'm up for this challenge. I'm also challenging myself to 30 days of logging food and not adding wine calories will be very motivating. I will probably have some wine on TG.0

Great to have you!! I've tried doing two weeks before and I make it a whole week or even 10 days then I'm like meh, at least I made it over a week, lol. I know I can do it though, I just need to set the expectation from the get go and do what I can to avoid temptation.1 -

Welcome! Yes, not logging alcohol calories is actually pretty awesome, lol.0 -
