Made it to Day 2! LOL
Day 3! #soberoctober
4 days! Getting through the week is a breeze. The weekend is going to be another matter entirely.5 -
My lunch plans for the Italian restaurant this weekend were cancelled so I don't have to worry about the temptation of wine! More days to stay on track
I'm allowing myself some grace for my birthday at the end of the month if i need it, but my desire is to do another month of abstaining. I'm liking staying on track...sleeping better...getting more accomplished.....more money in my account to spend on other things....and the scale cooperates better4 -
I've not had a drink today8

Doing fine so far. Although tomorrow is Thursday and I often feel like a nightcap on a Thursday because, it's nearly the weekend. BUT, this week I'm going to run with my club, and although we go to the pub after, I'll be driving so it should be easy to say no.
I'm out for dinner Friday night and in two minds about whether to have just the one, or abstain completely.2 -
Everyone is doing really good! My biggest trigger for drinking is a bad mood so I'm trying to exercise,do self hypnosis for anxiety on YouTube,breathe deep,etc,make sure I stay well hydrated and fed,still going strong just want it to stat that way6
-
I've been walking 40-50 minutes each day which mentally prepares me and I'm also more tired. Which probably explains why I'm sleeping better also8

So far so good, but this is only day 3 for me! I did *have* to finish that open bottle of wine on Sunday after all4

I agree everyone is doing great!!3 -
Day 6, and I'm not craving the wine.
Normally cooking dinner is a trigger and tonight I made dinner with out even thinking of wine. Hopefully I'll sleep tonight too.6 -
Tonight will be a test. Going out with an old friend - we usually have a few beers. I mentioned that I was trying to go AF during the week. I think I need to be stronger in my convictions and stop using the word "trying". I'm trying to eat less, trying to go to the gym, trying to stop drinking during the week. I WILL eat less, I WILL go to the gym, I WILL be AF during the week. The word trying seems to give me an out.
please don't quote that star wars saying. do / try/ whatever.6 -

How about saying you are making a choice to not drink during the week? Saying you are making the choice or saying I don’t do this gives you the power! You are powerful and strong!

Random benefit of not drinking #17) You can wake up early and train.7

11th day. Yah. Feeling wonderful and sleeping like a baby. Just finished breakfast. Anyone try blue menu protein bread? Got it on sale which is why I tried it. Delish. Keep it up guys. So thankful for this group!6

Oh since sept. 25 I've lost 2.1 lbs. which is good for me as I believe my liver is still healing therefore my weight loss is slower than one time. I'm pleased7

Does a healing liver slow down weight loss?
I'm currently covered in hives, but anytime in the past I have done things or taken supplements that cleanse the liver I get covered in hives.But I also tend to be hive prone.

5 days. Traveling for work today and eating dinner out/staying in a hotel. This is one of my usual drinking times. No hubby, no kid, a couple drinks to relax and then a whole bed to myself. I won't cave!1 -
Cryingblue. I'm no expert. But what I've read from others from liver abuse it takes time. Anyone else there share their thoughts? I kno in last couple years when I've tried losing it's been really slow and I'm thinking due to overabundance of eating and drinking wrong things which slowed it. This time however I'm more concentrating on alcohol abstinence along with exercise and eating better so hoping that after couple of weeks I will notice a difference. Love to hear other people's opinions and expert advice2
