Good Afternoon, joined the drink free community today- aim to minimise my alcohol intake radically to support my weight loss journey.

Stocked up on Nozeco and nice alcohol free beverages in the fridge.

Love Prosecco, but when a bottle appears I can’t seem to stick to only having one glass!!!

My husband has had some health problems recently so want to support his recovery.

And as it’s Lent im also giving up chocolate and coffee.

Wish me luck😀

Welcome to this forum. Are you looking to just cut down or give it up altogether?

Alcohol is close to 90% sugar. So weight management might entail limiting consumption. If you can only have one or two drinks that would be ideal. If you find that once you start, you can’t stop, that’s another issue entirely.

Keep posting your progress. And let us support your efforts.

I’m a failure at moderation, so I can’t help you there. But if you find you want to be a teetotaler, I’m your girl.

Good luck with your project.

I’m still keeping up the minimal alcohol intake. Had a blip last week ..poured a glass of Prosecco which turned into one more and another. Actually woke up with a headache which reminded me of the horrible morning after feeling. Back on track and feeling good swimming a few times a week. Fridge stocked up on nice fruit juices and Nozecco! 😇 Hubbys still unwell therefore more of a reason to stay sober.
