Hi all. I'm doing the same thing that Second base did. As of today, I'm done drinking for 6 weeks. Wish me luck! :D

Good luck with that. I'll be sending you happy sober energy ;)
I've been contemplating the same (I can't ever hope to quit smoking, if I continue drinking; I gotta give 'em both up until the nicotine monster has been squelched).
Be brave, be loyal, be true.
I'm proud of you for recognising a situation and taking action.
You might set the "drinks money" aside for the 6 weeks and then buy yourself something gorgeous that you've been wanting...a new book or CD, or a lifetime VW membership or so.

I totally agree. I became vegan for health reasons, and here I am smoking and drinking (well not today that is). So that will be my next challenge ... kicking the smoking habbit.
Yes, prettyin_punk. I will be drinking a lot more tea (green tea).
Thanks everyone for your support.
So in an attempt of solidarity, Will and I are laying off the sauce, too (more-or-less). It's not a total abstention, but we're limiting our intake to twice a week. It doesn't matter which days, but we only get two...and no binging.
So karatekid, have you been ravenously thirsty for water? I've been drinking a TON of water, and I think I got plenty before. Makes me wonder how dehydrated my body really was.
oh - i wish all you abstainers the best of luck!! i'll be joining you for my long overdue detox in a short while! it's tough but our bodies will love us for it :)
Absolutely...good luck!!!!!!!!!
Keep us posted on your progress!
Di :-)
Good luck.
Good luck!
:'( I blew it last night. I got so freaking trashed, and went to work with the worse hangover >:( I'm so mad at myself. I don't know how I got through the day, except the fact that it was cooler today. My ratings (peice per hour) were very low and I am one of the fastest people in the machine shop :'( Secondbase, how'd you do it? Help.
Don't be too hard on yourself. A hungover mind is in no position to judge. Drink plenty of water and try not to think about it until you've had some sleep. Will and I play the "we suck" game when we are hungover. For some reason it seems like to best time to evaluate our lives and our worth ::) bad bad idea.
We're trying to decide how to "spend" our second day this week. Tonight is Friday after Five, a monthly street festival with drinking in the streets, bands, and a big ol' community happy hour. Sunday is a wine tasting at a local shop within walking distance followed by dinner with friends...what to do, what to do?
Tomorrow is your first week down. Making or breaking habits is a process. The important thing is to move forward.
