Hey there,

You are really making some big break-throughs just by writing about what you are going through... and also trying to quit something you have done to your body for years. You deserve a beer! haha... kidding.

I think you mentioned at some point that you were from Chicago? My Fiance is from Chicago and LOVES his drinks. We actually have been together for more than a few years but have put off getting married partially because of the alcohol. We are definitely work hard/play hard kind of people. I am trying to set a good example and make efforts to be healthier before our wedding. Juice fasting for a few days this week. And more fasts more often.

Just a thought...... try to focus the energy that you put into drinking and buying alcohol into working out or running. You need something else to switch your thoughts/energy over to. Or else you will get bored and want to drink.

Anywho...... good luck with this new goal. I have heard that if you don't give into a habit for 30 days... it is out of your system and temptations.
