As of May 9, 2010, my boyfriend and I have stopped drinking alcohol!  It really hasn’t been that difficult for me.  I was already cutting back before that.  Then I had 1 last hurrah before I said no, no to the Alcoh.  There have been a couple times where I was challenged.  At my co-worker’s going away party a round of patron shots were bought in his honor.  I also love me some wine, and was slightly tempted by a glass of wine when mellowing out at The Jazz Kitchen.  But other than that, I haven’t really had the desire.  When I go clubbing with the girls, I just order me a glass of straight cranberry juice and throw a little lime wedge in it for some flair.  It passes really nice and beats just drinking water if I want some flavor.  A couple of times I’ve actually indirectly rubbed off my girls and we had an alcohol-free night just by avoiding the bar.

A few have asked when I’m going to start back.  I don’t really plan to start back, but certain vacations I may get a glass or two of wine.  This probably will include my cruise that I’m taking later this year.  Other than that, I haven’t really wanted to drink and remember how gross it made me feel when I would get sick.  This has just been a personal choice.  I don’t look down upon those that drink, and I actually like being the designated driver so I can be more certain that I will get home safely.  All in all, it’s been going pretty well and keeping those extra calories off the tummy, isn’t so bad either.
