Alcohol- don't worry, good

[JaxMama]

So I am amazed how much I am put off by alcohol. I think it's great. I tried a sip of vodka and diet sprite (my fav) did not miss it.

I still crave wine some, but I think that will pass. I may have a glass next Sunday for my anniversary.

I wonder if this diet would help those who depend on alcohol (not alcoholics, they need professional help)??? Seriously!

This diet/wol/new attitude, although I have not been perfect, has it's own natural high.

My opinion!

It's an opinion I share! I drink FAR less now than I used to - little to no inclination, really...it's strange. But good!

Interesting.

This is the longest I've gone without drinking in a long, long time. Maybe boot camp 27 years ago. I've never been a big drinker, but a cocktail here or a beer there or a glass (O.K., a bottle) of wine with dinner. Going a week without was never a problem. Two weeks though was unheard of.

When I started Atkins again this time around I said I was going to go 3 months. So far so good. There have been a few hurdles, such as Superbowl and Mardi Gras come to mind. Valentines Day is the next hurdle, but I doubt it'll be much of a challenge.

I know I am looking forward to having a few, but it'll be interesting to see how I feel once I get there. I know that when I was on Atkins before, alcohol made me stall.
