RE: Hi, my name is Laura and I am an alcoholic.

I never drink juice. I almost exclusively drink water aside from my alcohol which I am trying to cut. hehe I actually have a painful bladder disease that makes it so I have to drink a TON of water and almost any other drink causes flares. Fruit juice is out of the question. So, that helped me to cut out every other liquid calorie but I am legit addicted to booze. :(

So far so good in cutting it out though. But it's only been like a few days. LOL

Sort:  

I drink more than the recommended amount of water because of my disease. Probably a gallon a day. But it doesnt help my addiction to booze, sadly.

I'm glad you've found a way to hold out so far. Wish you the strength to keep up the good fight.

Thank you! For me the solution has been to be more active and busy. I am dancing and keeping busy and moving around more! :)

ah yes, that's a big one for me too. I have no problem keeping busy. but staying active while working on computers, sometimes I get complacent. very important to routinely take breaks to stretch, get exercise, catch a few rays of sunshine, etc. to help keep the blood flowing smoothly

I actually just posted a blog about incorporating movement into your day and it focuses on how to do it while working at a desk too. Like I just got a standing desk for my home and I try to play music and dance or just get up and stretch. I can still use the pc fine while sitting so it allows me to alternate! :D
