Feel like I can't do it
I'm not physically dependent on alcohol but it is so hard for me not to incorporate it somewhere into my evening routine. It's easily accessible and a habit I am having so much trouble breaking. Probably had about 2 totally sober days in the past 3 weeks, month or so. I'm so discouraged and not believing I can do it.

I am still here :)
Hi everyone, I am still working it! I am now seeing a therapist, and OMG, it is so much easier to keep accountable to him than myself! He gave me a 6 month challenge, no more than 2 drinks a day, for six months, no excuses! And I have done it, and better. I feel so much better, so much more "here" for my family and myself.…

Happy Monday Check-In/Accountability & Goal Setting!
Hey All! Morning! Just looked over my diary and calculated my over-consumption. I also added together all my alcohol calories for the week. So, looking back over last week, I'm over 1,461 calories. Alcohol calorie consumption: 2,959 calories. 2 alcohol-free days. I think this is something I'd like to continue to work on.…

Social get together without drinking
I've been trying really hard to give up alcohol for health and control reasons. Nothing good can come of it right now. I've been mostly successful but today will be a big test. We are having a get together where there will be about 9 adults and 5 kids at my small house. We are going to have wraps, wings, and lots of beer…

Back on Track? Again.....
Anyone need a push to get back on track (again?!) I DO! I'm up a few pounds, finding myself grabbing a bottle of wine and then eating junk after a few glasses. Also, I've been slacking with my exercise, and feel I've lost focus. I'm going to really try to motivate myself to stay on track, any suggestions/ statuses and…

Aha moment
About a month ago my best friend/soul mate passed away, he was battling depression and alcoholism for a long time and accidently combined alcohol with something else that cost him his life. I am myself a high functioning alcoholic, I don’t drink to get drunk/tipsy but do it mostly out of boredom; because of my high…

Gonna make it work
Ok,, hooch has been keeping me from my goals,, NOt any more. No week day drinking. 2 drinks when we go out, and 4 floating drinks for the weekend (Friday, Sat and Sunday). I am going to plan to win, not fail. I hate not feeling 100%, I hate the wasted money and calories.

It happened one night...a moment of clarity
I would like to share an eye-opening moment that happened to me yesterday afternoon/evening. All day long all I could think about was going home with a bottle and drinking away my anger and sadness. Had it all planned out including my exact route to get a bottle and something to eat before going home. As difficult as it…

2014 Goal
Okay friends and neighbors, time to put up or shut up! My goal is to cut out drinking on weekdays, no drinking on weekends unless AFTER a workout (Friday is a weekend day after work), with Sunday being a free day unless I don't get a workout in another day of the week. Today I am on holiday, but it IS a weekday. If I…
