So, I'm finally quitting beer...

After about 3 years of drinking 8-10 beers per night, I’ve decided to give it a go…

Wish me luck, one night down and another one tonight!

Congrats and good luck!

I’ve decided to make 2012 a year without alcohol. It helps that I’m currently pregnant, but once the baby comes in July, I’m still going to stay off the stuff. :slight_smile:

Rewriting history? :smiley:

Thanks smaje1! Did you mean 2013 as a year without alcohol?

I wish you all the luck in the world, as I do for anyone who is trying to improve themselves and their lives. :slight_smile:

Godspeed!

It’s 2013 already? That was a hell of a bender!

Hahahahah! Obviously, I’ve already broken my resolution and have been boozing it up since early morning.

Yes, I meant 2013. :slight_smile:

I largely gave up drinking about a year ago. I still have a couple of beers every once in a while, say once a month. One thing that genuinely surprised me once I had given up was how expensive it was to have a drink at a club or pub. It hadn’t sudden;y got more expensive, I guess I just stopped blocking out the cost. When I started to think about it I certainly wasn’t getting several dollars worth of enjoyment out of every beer I drank. After a few, some only provided a few cents worth of pleasure. Interesting or should I say sobering?

Mazel tov!

good luck!

Thanks for the wishes everyone - 2 nights down now and it was easier last night than the night before!

Yeah, I’m looking at what I’m spending and I’m going to save at least $140 per month. The money as well as the weight aspects have me motivated!

I’m giving up alcohol to lose weight as well - or at least help with the process - so good luck to you!

you can do it. I drank more than that and I quit. I feel soooo much better. Thinner too!

Just don’t start up again by picking up the gin … serious mistake here!
