Well, 48 days and nights to be exact....since I've had any alcohol. If you're just tuning in, I posed a challenge to myself to give up drinking any alcohol for 10 weeks...that's 76 days. No it's not for Lent...it's double the time!!..I started Jan. 1. Yes, it's a New Year's resolution. Yes, it's an experiment. No, I'm not an alcoholic. Yes, it's hard, but it's totally manageable. My primary reason was to help with Weight Watchers, and that, it has. I've lost 9 lbs. I'm going for 20 before my 40th birthday...yikes...only 5 weeks left to lose 11 lbs. The other part was just to challenge myself, stay focused on my goals and dreams, and see if my attitude towards alcohol would change over the 76 days. I'll let you know at the end.
One life saver here is Clausthaler non-alcoholic beer. I swear it tastes just like real beer. It's German. I know someone is going to write back saying "there's alcohol in there"...but it's a teeny percentage.....like the amount of caffeine in a decaf coffee...so there (thanks Kate Tannian for letting me know that!). And, it's only one point on Weight Watchers! Forget O'Doul's...it's gross, and Beck's NA sucks. St. Pauli Girl is pretty good, but Claushaler is my fave, and it has an amber version! I've become a NA beer connoiseur!
