let's stop drinking!

[Nick+]

On day 5 I had a little 'slip up'. 1 beer and 2 glasses of wine.

Hey sorry to come late to the discussion but I wanted to point out the carb value of alcahol is really high. Its no mystery why you would burn fat if you didn't drink. I see alcahol as part of my diet not a past time. If I go meet some people and need to be dieting, I have to turn down those free ones as hard as it really is. There is always another time, and if I am that worried about it, I dont go out, ever try not seeing certain people for a while and noticing they would be wherever they are if you show up or not>?
The bike ride or roller blade idea sounds good. I try to have people to be around or since I live by the ocean go surfing if i need alternative to socialization in bars.
I see alcahol as any other part of a diet. Do oyu eat alot of cookies? probably not. Drinking some beers is the same.

I eat hardly any cake or biscuits/cookies/chocolate whatever. Eat quite a lot of raw vegetables...... I've got to crack this 'alcohol problem'.............That's one of the 'missing links', in my diet.

Weekend!?!?

Oh well managed all of Sunday, without alcohol, 24 days left, and there had better be no more slip-ups............

 

[animalmachine]

Still good! One week down - 3 to go.

 

[The Monkey Man]

It can only get easier...

Don't drive by the club district -

 

[Nick+]

It often doesn't get easier.......

 

[Nick+]

Nothing to drink today(Monday) .............that would make it day 7 had I not had a drop on Saturday night.

 

[PTYP]

You have to start back from 1 Nick

 

[Nick+]

No! I won't!

 

[PTYP]

Sure, be stubborn about it, thats cool w/ me

 

[Nick+]

 

[PTYP]

Glad we got that settled.

 

[Nick+]

I'm hard pressed not to get a bottle of beer this very second

 

[PTYP]

Oh well managed all of Sunday, without alcohol, 24 days left, and there had better be no more slip-ups............

You can do this!!

 

[Nick+]

rrrrrrrrrrrr!

 

[Lewandow99]

Come Sept.

Better do it in August, cause Sept. is the start of football season...which tends to turn into drinking season for me!

 

[TexasGirl]

I agree - best to get it out of the way before college and NFL start.

You just ruined for me I was set for september sobriety, wife's idea, not mine. Guess I'll have to stick with the dry weekdays.

It can only get easier...

Don't drive by the club district -

Hard not to do because I live in the middle of it - got almost 30 bars within crawling distance

Nick! How are you holding up?

No way I could do this during football season - hopefully have it all under control and back to "just a couple" by then.

9 days down - 22 to go!

 

[Nick+]

Ok I fucked up again last night. 3 glasses of wine and a pint of beer. Nick is not holding up. Nick has the will power of a newt. Nick is a prat.

You've got 30 bars within crawling distance. I've got around 100 bottles of wine within almost arms reach dating back to 1994............

I won't drink tonight, and maybe not for the rest of the month. But I've basically blown my side of the bargain by these 2 'relapses'.

Animalmachine you have got willpower and guts.

 

[PTYP]

Damn Nick, you just cost me $20. I so thought you would do it.

 

[Nick+]

$20?

 

[PTYP]

American currency, I made a bet for $20 that you could last.

 

[Nick+]

You made a bet? Risky business betting on me, I could have warned you if you'd asked...........

 

[Nick+]

Oh well, drank nothing today. Despite two screw ups, this is far better than I've ever managed before...........(Since 1986 to be exact)

 

[animalmachine]

18 days exactly 2 weeks left

 

[Nick+]

Give me my last chance...........
