I had two glasses of wine last night, but I was able to stop for a long time between work a cup of strong hibiscus tea.1

11/1-2 oz rye whiskey
11/2-15 oz Pinot Noir
11/3- nothing
11/4- too much wine
11/5-nothing
11/6-nothing
11/7- nothing
I think this thread is really helping me to lay off the wine in the evening. I have a bottle of wine in the fridge with only about one glass left , so I thought about finishing it last night, but then I thought about this thread and knew thta I would have to come here and admit defeat, so I just decided to save it for a night when I would enjoy it with my meal. That will likely be tonight, but I am only going to have that one glass!4 -
Back in the saddle today. 3 day power outage, drank 3 glasses red wine past 2 nights and I feel like *kitten* for it. Don’t think I have the will power to limit myself to just 1 drink or only on weekends. I need to completely stop. I’ve put on 20 pounds in 3 years due to it and I feel gross. I like reading about others’ struggles to know I’m not alone in this. Thank you.3

@Sunnybrooke99- What do you do for work that has you drinking there? Is it part of your job or just part of the work environment?0

I’m an exotic dancer. We don’t have to drink, but it’s hard not to when customers are offering, and it helps me to relax. Plus, it’s a bar/club, so drinking there feels normal.1 -
7 Days in.
Big deal for me. I honestly don't think I've gone this long without drinking at least one glass of wine in years unless I was sick or hungover.
My regular pattern:
Hey, I'd like a glass while I cook.
Well, I have to have one with dinner.
Now, a glass of wine on the sofa to relax.
Well, heck, there's only one glass left, may as well have it while I watch this movie.
Boom. I just drank a bottle of wine on a Tuesday night.
Then the weekends were more of the same, plus.
My poor liver. And I packed on the pounds.
A week sober, and I haven't noticed any weight loss, but my tummy is much less bloated!10 -

Count me in!1

Samsies. I'm day 9 into an alcohol fast. Feel free to add me for support.2

I've been doing this too. I'll usually just drink wine on the weekends, but if I open a bottle, I'm apt to finish the whole bottle in one evening. This then lowers my inhibitions about evening snacking and the next thing I know I'm scarfing down candy corn or some chips in giant handfuls. So now, I just have a cup of peppermint tea in the evenings and pretend it's wine/dessert.5

I've been weekends only since October 23rd. And way down on the volume as well on the weekends. It seems that food can actually replace those calories as I've hovered at the same weight for a week. The weight loss isn't coming as easily as I thought it would but I will gladly join with you on this challenge.1

Ditto - only gin on a week day and bubbly on a Sunday.0 -
@bdbchick I’d love the recipe for that!!!
Sorry @cmrose23 I just saw this! I used just a package of unflavored gelatin, vodka and apple mio, and water as directed (you'll need to boil 1 cup of water then add 1/2 cup cold water and 1/2 vodka or more/less depending on how strong you want them). I'm going for an apple pie jello shot basically. I needed to add more apple mio. I plan to put a cinnamon stick in the vodka I use for the ones I'm making for thanksgiving overnight. I'm trying for as low carb/low cal as possible.
On another note I haven't drank in 3 days. I feel so much better today than I did monday (I was hungover).2 -
