I'm still running a tally of ONE alcoholess day for this month. I told my girlfriend last night as I had a couple brews, good news is I didnt die or have dt's the other night. I have had alcohol free days like when I was sick with the flu or had to drive an all nighter back home when my Dad had a bad car wreak once. I feel…

Thanks for the congratulations. I didnt talk it over with Jason to find out his strategy. I decided to go for it. Enough talk I told myself. I had been making enough excuses(that is really all they are IS EXCUSES) Jason came over to hang out and do some lifting with me. The first thing I know he noticed was there was no…

AF last night first time. Needed to get at least one in before January ended. Thanks Aunties

WTH (lol) this place exploded💣💥 with comments. Almost lost my train of thought trying to read everything. So much good information to absorb. I especially like that some more dudes are in here to bounce fails and wins with. I might be getting close to a non alcoholic day. The more I re-connect with my buddy that showed up…

.

Another FREAKING night that I put 2 beers up in the cabinet. Only a four beers night after watching that liver video. If I watch it again it could be a three beers night. Man that was a eye opener to take in. Anyone else have nightmares from it?

I'm a guy secure with my feelings. I don't mind glitter. Thank you @missmay you deserve a crown. A GLITTER CROWN.

I have my own weights and bench. I watch a variety of workouts on the internet then go to my home gym and do them. A good variety.

I would never disrespect this group in the way you did @HerNameIsMischief with that first paragraph you wrote. I believe you owe this thread an apology and or remove the first half of your above post.

I have not had another repeat of the six pack getting split up into 4 beers cold in refrigerator/ 2 in cabinet . Here is how I am looking at that unusual event. I am doing better than I was last month and the month before that. I am making progress in my own way, at my own pace. I am moving FORWARD. @HerNameIsMischief ,…

DAMN, your post resonated with me. I would have thought you were speaking directly to my face. I needed a kick in the behind to remind me why I need to not become my parent. To prepare to be a Father some day, a responsible person to myself first and then a responsible person to my future family. I need to reverse how I…

I did it. I made a giant success last night, to me. With all of your help and reading the inspiring stories I set aside 2 beers out of my six pack. Only 4 went into the refrigerator. The other two into the cabinet. It could be from talking with my friend that was over the other night with his coffee cup. I think I have…

I am back. Did not go any place, been busy. Took on a new workout routine that is taking a lot of time. Logging in and preparing workout schedules to keep from getting bored. I been trying extremely hard to manage a non alcohol day, to sqeeze it in some place, it has not happened yet. I think about it all the time, but…

I like how some people are listing either past habits to break away from or new ways to make good on what they have said they want to do. Mine: Old habits from a year or more ago- Buy an entire 30 pack, see how fast I can drink it. The real plan was to save money buying in quantity, that back fired and I drank more because…

Personally diet for me.

Over all better health. Become stronger and maintain my pants size. Cut back on calories by drinking less alcohol.

Sorry I am late getting in here. I am in for January. I can not guarantee I will do a dry January., hope that is alright. I will how ever put my best effort into having less drinks. That is what this thread is all about, right? New years eve I let my friends and girlfriend in on my secret less drinking adventure. My pals…

Backed off to the 5 beers out of my six pk. Added one to the shelf. I need a new goal plan for the newyear. Not sure what it will be yet. I like the monthly thread idea @MissMay over the continued on going threads with thousands of hits. It shows that the monthly threads are current & fresh. Man's point of view.

Holidays hit and I lost count with drinks because my pals and family wanted holiday cheer every day. Have to start again..back in

My girlfriend did not verbalize her anger with me the other day. Instead she texted me the pictures she took of me after I got home. She asked if the pics reminded me of anyone? Hard pill to swallow. Yes I told her, my Mom. Back to my path of drinking less than my friends. Thank you for having this place to come. I get…

My friends and I decided to hit a couple bars on the way home from work yesterday. My plan was to drink out and not to pick any more up to take home. The second part of that worked fine, it was the bars that took a toll on my plan. Drank more than I have in a while for one night. About three times as much if you add in all…

Miscalculated how many beers I have up in my kitchen cabinet. I must have had a drinking dream because I swear I already had a 6 pack up in there. No such luck, only 3 damn beers so far. Seems like longer to save away a 6 pack than I thought it would. You ladies are like the Mom(s) I would like to have. One(s) that know…

@dawnbgethealthy & @mainelylisa yes my Sister and I have both confronted our Mom about not wanting her to be around grandchildren because of her drinking. Her response was, "Well look, you two didn't die from me drinking did you?" Not the response you would expect from a woman that is highly admired by her work colleagues…

My turn for a story . The main reason besides keeping in shape for having less alcohol is I dont want to become my Mom. As a kid I would avoid bringing home buddies because my Mom was and still is a parent that drinks way too much. Having a parent that loves alcohol more than her kids is rough. She does not get it. Always…

This photo seems apropos. I DO drink hot tea also. This is NOT me. LOL

Oh good another dude to bounce thoughts off of. Not that I dont like being surrounded by all the fine ladies on here. You ladies all have some remarkable guts. You macho guys out there should take notice. When next week rolls around I will open my kitchen cupboard door to find 6 beers ready in there so I don't have to by…

MAN it makes me want to drink when I erase a post I wrote.

I want to say thanks for your responses to my posts. Having other people that are in the same boat as me with booze really is a help. Every one seems to be making up different goals, I will to. On even days for right now I will have 5 beers out of my nightly 6 pack. On odd days I I will allow myself the 6 beers, if I dont…
