I didn't eat much drinking either but between working out and not drinking 1,000 calories-OMG I am the human food vacuum. No one put your hand in front of my plate when I am eating or you might lose a finger. LOL!

Prairie I'm the same way, packing on the pounds but I'll take the pounds along with my sobriety.

Hi Honeysoup!

I just wanted to say hi and offer my support. As the others have said, we know what you are going through...myself included! This is my fourth serious quit of AL and this time feels different. Each time, I was here on MWO and when I wasn't here, I did not do as well. Stick around with us, we will not steer you wrong! As the lovely FlyAway mentioned, get that book by Jason Vale, Kick the Drink Easily. I hesitated on buying it cause I had to order it from Amazon but boy am I glad I did! It was just what I needed to really think about sobriety in a whole new light and it really works! So, heed the advice here because we have all been there (sticking to your plan, stocking up on alternative drinks with no AL, reading through the toolbox, research the internet on how bad AL really is for you...that's enough to make me scared not to drink! AL is an addictive drug and the biggest lie that society tells you is that you have to drink to relax. It is not true. Life is so much better after you have been sober for a while (at least 30 days). What also helped me is to remember how happy I was as a child at a birthday party or holiday. I didn't need wine to be happy then...why do I need it now? Well, now I don't, but a few weeks ago I thought I did.

Blessings to you for a wonderful AF life ahead!
