I got drunk last Friday, red wine mixed with diet coke...yuk.

So anyway, I've been on the wagon for 7 days now and today is normally a drinking day...perhaps some temptation but not too bad.

I've found that a nice mug of tea (with milk and sugar) is fantastic, in fact I was actually buzzing afterwards!

I love my tea. Thankful that I do not crave anymore, and I spend so little time thinking about alcohol or "my recovery situation"

I know there is no need for me to be craving alcohol anymore....I'm not.

I mean I wasn't ever a "full blown" alcoholic just had an unhealthy obsession with getting a buzz.

So anyways I should stop thinking about myself and just live....

cheers.

That sounds gross! I like peppermint tea with honey.

I can tell anyone else here that is wondering...you will lose weight if you quit drinking....
I lost 8 pounds in 1 week just by not drinking and making sure I ate right.

Man, wish I had such dramatic weight loss! I did loose 5 pounds when I quit drinking in April. Never a good thing to drink all of your calories.

Why did you mix red wine with diet coke? ewwww...

hope this will be your final go round with alcohol...
It's a liquid toxin and damages your body and mind...
that is true for all drinkers...not only alcoholics.

I suggest you check with a doctor..that is too much weight
to lose in a short time. It could be something else.

Could just be because I am massively overweight and I think the fatter a person is, the quicker they can drop the weight...to begin with at least.
