Friday Night No-Buzz Thread. Starting my weight loss program tomorrow.

[Aristus]

No alcohol for the next three months, starting tonight.

I can’t believe how much I miss my Friday night drink. I look forward to it all week. I guess I was more dependent on it than I thought.

It’s lovely here in the Evergreen State. Mount Rainier is almost pure white. The Puyallup River is at a low ebb. All the water is locked up in the glaciers on the mountain.

Looking forward to a great weekend.

I love you all…

1. Good job. Stick to your plan

[wendyb-NC]

2. Sounds like a great plan

Best wishes with your endeavor, Aristus. Love you, too, glad you are a on DU.

5. Aw, shucks!...

3. It'll be tough

Any time we stop a familiar habit, it is hard to change to a different behavior that is as satisfying.

We got 3-4" of new snow last night and had snow showers this afternoon. I wish it were a pretty snow, but it is the fine grained stuff that falls relentlessly until the storm passes over. And this one is taking its sweet time :/

Enjoy your beautiful view and a leisurely weekend

[Aristus]

6. Thank you!

4. Congratulations on the decision to lose weight and committing to start tomorrow!

I’ve decided to do the same, but have done nothing about it. Def in your corner.

7. And see...

You've already made it to the weekend! Next thing you know, in a couple days, it won't matter.

8. I'm not drinking tonight, either.

I have to take my dog to the vet early tomorrow.

9. Is it still OK to ask you anything?

[Aristus]

12. Go for it!

10. And we love you back. Sending all best wishes for a most successful

three months.

Your description sounds lovely. Couldn't really see our snow-capped Peak today, much too cloudy. 50 degrees early yesterday afternoon, then a front moved in, snowed ladt night, high of 20 today.

Have a wonderful weekend.

[Aristus]

13. Thank you, niyad!

You too!

11. Guess that means somebody will have to drink double for you.

If it's the ritual and unwinding that appealed the most in your weekly buzz, that could be attained without alcohol. Or you could try subs like sparkling cider.

14. I saw a whole magazine of "mocktail" recipes.

[Aristus]

15. Nah. Sparkling water.

Need to stay away from liquid sugar for a while.
