I haven’t read the whole thread, are there any sober-curious or non-alcoholics that have stopped drinking? I’m not an alcoholic, but I decided to severely cut back on drinking earlier this year when I decided to get back into working out and counting macros again. I just couldn’t justify drinking since it’s so bad for you with empty calories. It’s totally catabolic and what why point of working out hard and counting macros and then destroying it with alcohol.
Anyway, last time I drank was for my husbands bday in early July, and before that it was during Memorial Day. So I’ve only really drank a couple times in the past 8 months. I’m loving it so far. I feel healthier, my husband and I have lost 30 lbs so far.
I’m considering that this may be a totally sober football season for me. I’m not scared, per se, but I am a little jealous of those I see living it up and desire a drink. But I’m holding strong so far.
Sorry this was a long post. Like I said, I don’t consider myself an alcoholic, but obviously there are relationships with alcohol that need to be confronted. Especially during football season
