Quoted from woody76:this place is pretty good as well

Alright you talked me into it! Going to try a couple of their flavors. I'm not a fruity or IPA kind of person so that limits my options somewhat.
New Bitmap Image (resized).jpgQuoted from swampfire:I need to give it 90 days, and start cycling or jogging after work instead of chugging. I’ll report back if I have any success with it.
My longest stint (as I probably posted above) was either 60 days or 90 days. I can't remember which. Probably can't remember because I've helped myself to beer, scotch and whiskey between now and then (and I probably posted in the respective threads here on pinside)
I usually alternate my months and a bit overdue for a dry month so I'm going to kick things off mid month and try some of that N/A beer.
One of my customers is trying to cut back so we're going to get each other motivated. Fortunately alcohol hasn't negatively impacted either of our lives but just going to make sure we aren't behind the 8 ball health wise down the road.
To give anyone a little motivation.
I’m on day 3 of my break and while it is a little more difficult to FALL asleep, I’m actually staying asleep better and getting better quality sleep. Melatonin helps.
Keep in mind I’m a relatively lightweight so I don’t drink much to begin with, two maybe 3 at most in a night.
I had a little bit a few weeks ago after dry a few months. Just can’t get into it anymore. Been sleeping so much better and hate the sluggish feeling. I like the taste of beer so will continue to sample the NA beers online.
Quoted from PinballAir:But that vodka is definately 8 years old. Probably like turpentine by now
If unopened should last longer than any of us
I’ve been dabbling around with NA/0.0 beer at total wine and in a way…pleased to see many are sold out. They are in demand. The last I’ve had is the Heineken which is darn close to the regular beer.
Quoted from mrm_4:If anyone that is on the wagon misses pumpkin ale, Wellbeing has one out right now. Not as sweet as the syrupy Southern Tier that I remember but it’s pretty good for an NA.

Just placed an order
Quoted from swampfire:Still trying to collect reasons to stop drinking, or cut back, and I hit on a big one: memory. Is my drinking eating away at a lifetime of memories? I’m finding it harder to remember things lately - some of that is being in my late 50’s, but maybe the beer doesn’t help.
My main reason is it started giving me panic attacks at night shortly after I fell asleep. Something I’ve never suffered from before. So much so I felt like my heart was going to explode and had myself checked out immediately.
I’m not talking about getting hammered I’m talking one drink.
So for me…I’m scared of alcohol. No medial history with heart problems. I even had myself hooked up to an event monitor, had an ultrasound and CT in that area and everyone says I’m perfectly healthy even my enzymes are on point.
One positive side effect from me quitting is better sleep quality too.
Falling asleep is the hard part shortly after you stop. It was for me anyway. Maybe take some time off work if you can during that point. You might have to have a few sleepless nights. But sleep quality does go up.
I can’t remember if I mentioned this before but for you beer people…Heineken 0.0 is such a similar replica if you need a helping hand….I recommend.
Quoted from Gorgar666:I don’t see the point in drinking nonalcoholic Beer… just my opinion…
Same reason I smoke cigars. For the taste. It’s definitely not for everyone.
Quoted from vidguy:I once read that caffeine doesn’t give you energy, it just borrows from your future energy. You boost now, crash later.
Man does that apply to booze. The high is never worth the low.
I’ve contemplated laying off the 1 cup of coffee every morning. I don’t really NEED it. I haven’t researched caffeine that much. Would be worth trying for a couple weeks. I usually do 1 coffee a day and a soda once a day most days.
Quoted from swampfire:69 days alcohol-free today. Apparently this number has significance to some people on the internet.
It’s one of my favorite numbers and for a lot of people but not for the reason you’d think.
