Figured it's a good time to take a break again! Join in, Christian or not, just a cut back or out for awhile :) http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/20127-giving-up-alcohol-for-40-days
For those of you on the 30 day challenge, get through today and you have it made! Great job for those who stuck through it :) I hope the challenge brought about awareness of our alcohol intake, and that we have found alternatives and ways to cut down or out the negative calories in our lives. Perhaps for some the negative…
Home stretch! Sadly the group dwindled, however I kinda expected it. Giving up alcohol is not easy, and many don't want to admit that they might need it more in their lives than just a casual treat. I've watched too many friends and family members struggle. ""We sell our dreams and our potential To escape through that…

Hi, As the one year anniversary of my brother's death from liver failure due to excessive drinking approaches -- October 19-- I was trying to find a fitting way to, I don't know, remember him, do something in his memory, not sure what my goal here is. He was 47. I just turned 47 a few weeks ago. I too sometimes gravitate…
Post what day you are on in the challenge here :)
