ETA: I also have a beerfest over Valentine's Day weekend, so yeah that one doesn't count either. Actually on second thought, I vote we limit this event to non-work related functions M-F.

You're struggling after one day? HmmmmOne day in, and I'm so damn sick of La Croix water. Still, yesterday was not as bad as I remember the first day being last year. Hang in there, everyone!
Where did I say I was struggling? I said I'm sick of water. Yesterday was fine, and it's not even noon here today, so it's fine. Maybe I can come up with something tastier than La Croix as a substitute, though.You're struggling after one day? HmmmmOne day in, and I'm so damn sick of La Croix water.

I did this last year and found it easier than expected. Social situations were the only time where it was more challenging. This year will be a breeze.

fancy waterI just use tap water; am not fancy like you.generic seltzer water, not club soda(too much salt) is your friend. i put concentrated black cherry juice in mine since shuke gave me The Gout. yummy.Doing the soda thing also, but had already cut down from 1/day to 2-3/week.I kept thinking of that Airplane line yesterday, too.day 1 free and clear but I swear to go I feel like my life is mimicing Airplane in that today has been a cluster #### at work and I've picked a horrible time to quit sniffing glue.
Day One in the books, though I was sorely tempted due to the news about TU. My first drink on March 2 will be a toast to Sean.
Like fred, I'm curious to see how my body responds. I'm also giving up soda, though I intend that one to be permanent. I average maybe 3/4 of a Diet Coke or Diet Dr. Pepper a day. I've given it up before, one time for several years, but in periods of stress have started up again including periods of drinking 2-3 per day. I've seen positive changes when I don't drink it--oddly enough, the most noticeable is that my fingernails don't chip or break. Nasty stuff, soda.
Something I realized after just one day without wine is that I just like to drink things. I must have had three gallons of water yesterday. I've been using the MiO flavor enhancers that make water almost tasty.
WDIK, if you try the MiO, I recommend the lemon (best one), orange, black cherry, and fruit punch. Some of the other flavors aren't so good, especially the one that is green--don't know what flavor it was supposed to be, but it just tasted very green. They also make some with vitamins and/or caffeine in them but I've just used the regular ones.
We do still have a lot of Mio around, too, as we use that to fancy up our water on hikes. I'll try your version as well.fancy waterI just use tap water; am not fancy like you.generic seltzer water, not club soda(too much salt) is your friend. i put concentrated black cherry juice in mine since shuke gave me The Gout. yummy.Doing the soda thing also, but had already cut down from 1/day to 2-3/week.I kept thinking of that Airplane line yesterday, too.day 1 free and clear but I swear to go I feel like my life is mimicing Airplane in that today has been a cluster #### at work and I've picked a horrible time to quit sniffing glue.

Iced tea is always my drink of choice during the day, but not at night.I can't decide if this is the absolute worst time to stop drinking or the absolute best time to stop drinking. Should probably have Rude merge this with the depression thread.
Still have a few days to until dry though.
BTW, iced green tea is the correct answer.
I was actually thinking about joining the club to see if it actually helped with my sleeping (well plus I probably shouldn't be drinking every night). It feels like having a few drinks at night should help with sleep, but many studies show that drinking does not help you sleep. I was convinced of this when my wife started using her sleep app (I think on some kind of FitBit) and it definitely showed her waking up a lot more during nights after she drank a few glasses of wine.Iced tea is always my drink of choice during the day, but not at night.I can't decide if this is the absolute worst time to stop drinking or the absolute best time to stop drinking.

As with last year, not drinking is ####### up my sleep to be even worse than usual, which didn't seem possible. :(

You're not a drunk. Look at you.Slept like a baby the last two nights. It's been great
They're really all pretty good. I like passion fruit and cran-raspberry.

Definitely true for most people, and I think you'd see a difference if you did this. A lot of folks last year saw improved sleep patterns. For people like my GBSLB and me, for some reason it just makes our chronic insomnia worse.I was actually thinking about joining the club to see if it actually helped with my sleeping (well plus I probably shouldn't be drinking every night).
