I've been working on not drinking in my home by myself. It's been a struggle sometimes, and there are days where I end up having a beer. But it's been stopping there at a beer. Not killing half a 1/5 of bourbon sitting alone in my office.
I won't be drinking today. Sticking to my flavored waters.
Good luck out there everyone, and take care.
Tapering off is a valid quiting strategy, have you tried any Nonalcoholic beers yet? They really helped me quit.
I drank those at first. Surprised how much like Heineken zero tasted like the real thing. Then realized how much I hated the taste without a buzz afterward. 🤣
Athletic NA has really helped me.
I’ve heard those are great!
Seconding! They taste pretty decent
Surprisingly I still quite like the taste of Corona, Heineken 0, etc!
Walking to the store in the snow for Sparkling Water instead of Beer! I will not drink with you today!
Sparkling water is so OP, I've been chugging lemon-lime PC bubble water like no one's business trying to cut out beer.
I kinda want to invest in a sodastream now.
Holy shit i forgot about sodastream, def gonna have to save up for one of those.
If you have a Costco membership or know someone who does, their package deal is a lot cheaper than Amazon or in other retail stores. They will sometimes go on sale for like $30 off too. We got a sodastream terra bundle with two tanks and two bottles for like $70 when other places they are like $120
Finally Friday! Not drinking today!
It's finally Friday!!!! IWNDWYT!
