Oh I can relate to this. Have you thought about pouring some sparkling water in your wine glass or another beverage instead? If you like tea, make your evening ritual, some tea. It will help relax you and get to sleep. Maybe you can multitask while watching TV and fold laundry or something to keep your mind off drinking or…

Awesome! Welcome!

I am out here!

I am using Isagenix and there are other people on MFP who are as well. There's some great Facebook support groups as well.

Sounds very wise Fred! I am with you taking it day by day and one month at a time.

Went to my friends house tonight. She offered me wine. I had water instead :)

I am glad you are here!

Agreed!!!

Give yourself some credit. You are aware of where you need to improve! Awareness is a HUGE step no matter where you end up on the spectrum. You are making so many positive choices on a daily basis! As for the party....just because you are serving others...doesn't mean you have to drink. Pour some cranberry juice or apple…

Which way are you leaning Fred? I think either option works. You just have to figure out what works for you. I'm leaning towards abstaining myself. I have been trying to moderate the past five years, but not happy with how that's been working for me.

This is a great idea. Sometimes, I have sparkling water in a wine glass at night just to have something "fancy." The more days/nights I go without, the easier it is. It also helps having these threads and seeing and knowing that other people are out there that want to make changes as well.

One day down. 29 to go!

You can do this :)

Definitely gets easier each day. I'm getting more done around the house and more exercise in. Odd thing is how it's putting off one of my friends. She's treated me like the plague since I have been alcohol free in August. Now she's invited me over this weekend, and made a point of mentioning that I could drink wine again.…

Today is the last day of August. How did you do? How do you feel? For those of you who are at 31 of 31 alcohol free days today, CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Definitely be patient with yourself. I cut out alcohol at the end of July and have lost 3-4 pounds in August, but it didn't happen overnight. I focused on the positive changes I was making though - kept tracking and logging into MFP and kept working out. The weight loss will come. But you do have to be patient as your body…

I am up for a sober September!

Day 26 of August. We are in the final stretch!
