Hi everyone....just starting out and making an effort to reduce my intake...not going AF yet, I dont see it being realistic for me .....I've been a daily drinker pretty much the past 4 yrs, (vodka and beer....occassionally whiskey, not often)...and have finally decided that I really need to cut back for health reasons, and also I've recently been going back to the gym and getting back into bodybuilding, and want to regain the type of physique I had 5 yrs ago (when I was a powerlifter/bodybuilder) before I became a heavy drinker....I'm 29 and dont wanna keep going like this,..
...so starting today I am taking Calms forte(3 pills a day)....ZMA (a zinc-magnesium supp...since drinking depletes your zinc and mag stores which leads to anxiety)........5 grams Glutamine per day, 1 B-complex pill per day...and 500 mgs Milk-Thistle per day.....also using the hypno cd's twice per day....cant afford the topa right now though....
..My short term goal is to cut my daily intake by half....i have averaged about 10 drinks per day these last 4 yrs, so I'm hoping to cut that in half over the next 4-6 weeks...i'm motivating myself by telling myself that I will cut my calories by 500 calories per day simply by reducing my alcohol intake by half,...which will result in losing an extra pound of fat each week, thus helping me get closer to my old physical condition....
...Basically I'd love some encouragement and advice from fellow members (preferably who were heavy drinkers on a daily basis similar to me).....I love this board and thank God i came upon it, so much helpful info to be found here!

Giving up the massive number of daily alcholol calories has certainly helped get that mission underway. Best wishes to you both in achieving your moderation goals! You've come to a great place.
