And gained many more years of living a great lifestyle. Congrats!!
We tend to gravitate towards sugar after stopping its very common. It makes up for the loss of sugar we obtained during drinking..
Not the Meridian Winco, but I may be guilty of emptying the Eagle store!
It makes absolute sense. I do have to say that I have had an unhealthy love of anything gummy since I was a little kid.
Rooster, I was a HUGE craft beer, whiskey, and wine nerd. I have drank bottles of beer and whiskey worth hundreds, to thousands of dollars, and several hundred dollars bottles of wine. I could identify whiskey by blind tasting it, and I am talking down to the producer, proof, grains used, and barrels it was aged in. I met A LOT of my best friends because of craft beer. But I decided to give it all up 4 years ago. It seemed like the hardest decision ever at the time, especially being a sales rep for a craft beer distribution company. But I did it anyways. Originally said I was taking a year off, after a few months I knew Id never get drunk again
I don't really keep track because it was never that kind of problem for me, and I just quit cold turkey with the opposite of support. But Today marks 4 years! I had my "going away party" on may 4th 2019. Drank 2 or 3 thousand dollars worth of rare lambics and made a delicious dinner to go with it for 4 of my classiest drinking buddies. 2 or 3k may seem like a lot, but that is just what it was valued at. We got it all priced at retail from 6 to 15 years ago. I think it was around 6 bottles total, and took a few hours to get through it all. Didn't hardly even catch a buzz, woke up the next day and decided that was my last hoorah.
Doing well, thanks for checking. 103 days for me, which is the longest I've gone without a drink since I started in high school. Wasn't a big problem, but was a change that has been positive for me. Now if the beer gut would just disappear, that would be great.
1 Beer last weekend. Completely dry other than that, since February. I was catfishing, it was hot as hell and it sounded pretty darn good. It didn't taste nearly as good as it sounded. I was up 8 pounds but was still working out and eating pretty much the same. I changed my workout time shake around and have dumped that 8 pounds plus an additional 6. I re-listened to the Huberman podcast on Monday, just to reinforce myself.
8+ months now and going strong. Easily one of the best decisions of my life. Down about 30 pounds from peak fatness, half of which I'd say was from the beer. Back near high school sports playing weight and feeling great.
