Alcohol Free February

No way. Half a day. Just a squirt with some diet 7up. [emoji6]

Starting my 5th month- mental clarity and energy are through the roof. No more depression, no more anxiety- I’m making it permanent.

Late November I ended up with a bad blood clot in my right leg. The doctor put me on blood thinners and did all the lab work for a physical. He commented that I had gone downhill a bit, since I retired three years earlier. December 14th we had two X-Mas parties to go to at friends. I ate everything I wanted, lots of deserts, and drank a bunch. Just the typical routine I had let myself get into.

The next day, I gave up alcoholic drinks, sodas and tonic, sweet coffee creamer, and cut my carbs in half. I am now down 28#, feel and sleep much better, and have the energy to get back on the elliptical trainer. Surprisingly enough, I don't miss it at all.

Awesome Mikey! May 25th 2012 is the day God intervened and saved my life.
Happy to hear it. Always willing to chat if you ever need to.

Going to give up alcohol for the month of February. No more Woodford, Blantons, or Col. EH Taylor for 28 days. Hopefully I’ll see some benefits from my four weeks without an adult beverage....Reduce weight, sleep better and more energy....???

Anyone else taken a month off from alcohol?

Cheers

29 days this year!

Careful with that. If you have 3 drinks/beers everyday that's 21. If you have a 12 pack on Friday and Saturday that's 24. Do it again Sunday and it's 36.

Been free of Alcohol free since first weekend in January. Last trip to deer camp and only had a couple of beers. Don't drink much anymore anyways with diabetes and really trying to watch the A1C with ankle surgery coming up in a couple of weeks. Really don't miss it and could take it or leave it.

Thanks Brotha- God has completely removed the desire to drink and shown me the benefits. I cant imagine back-sliding. Thankfully, I was never out of control, just realized one day that 99% of my regrets in my life happened when I was drinking....why did I want to keep that up?

That's great OP. I gave up drinking alcohol in October of 2010 and it was a good thing. I gave up sodas and other sugary drinks about 3-4 years ago and noticed a huge difference in my health.

What about us fat boys that don't drink? What are we supposed to give up?....food???

That’s what He did for me! In an instant where I cried out to Him for help, he removed all taste for it from my mouth. An experience I’ll never forget, nor be able to adequately explain.
