Well, here I am, a whole 21 days now without a single Alcoholic drink passing my lips and still no visible side effects.
With each passing day, I’m finding that I have more energy and a more positive attitude to life in general. Yesterday – Thursday – was a bad day, as I had to take one of our cats to be put to sleep, but she’d had a good long life and it was for the best. ☹ But I didn’t drink and I didn’t comfort eat, so that’s a plus. 😊
Another 7 days and I’ll be looking to start on my weight reduction plan. I’ll try to find somewhere I can weigh myself before I start and then will try to lose 1-2 lbs per week for the next 52 weeks – watch this space! LOL
Best of luck to all those trying to make life-changes. As they say ‘Nothing worth doing is easy, but if you REALLY want to do it, you will!’

Well done DFB! That's great news! I felt the same when I ditched the cigs! We don't realise the impact our vices have on our bodies, until we get rid of them and then we reap the benefits
Keep up the great work and give that liver of yours an extended holiday
I thought that if anything might trigger a relapse, it would be the death of my Mother. But I was (pleasantly) surprised that when she died, I never even gave smoking a thought!
I'm trying to do the same & am really noticing the lack of a headache the next morning. I was even feeling a bit rough after a single glass of wine so I know that it wasn't due to excessive drinking 😩 I will still have a glass of wine occasionally but will budget for in with my calories 😀
Lol , I've always been a lightweight anyway but I'm getting even more susceptible to drink now. Unfortunately I can't drive so can't be a designated driver 😩
Me too, this is now my ninth day, after a very busy June with social events every weekend 2 weekends both days!! I have decided that all July is going to be alcohol free. I've lost 2 lbs so far, sleeping great to be honest and getting up a lot better and brighter in the mornings.
Sunny Sunday afternoons are so hard, especially when you see the world and his wife sat outside drinking. Sun will be going down soon so no more temptations, well done to you again!! Enjoy next week's treat you deserve it.
Well done, and this is from somebody for whom the not-so-occasional tipple is the worst offender in her diet. At the moment I am cutting down rather than out, but it's a slippery slope, especially on a long evening in front of TV.
Well, here I am on day 14. This evening, I'll have been alcohol-free for 2 full weeks!
Before I start on a weight-loss programme, I plan to stay off the 'Pop' for another 14 days. That way, I should be craving - free and used to drinking mainly water.
All the best to everyone who is trying to change things for the better.
