Thank you. I will keep that in mind if I get in the "Dang I need a drink" mood.

I don't plan on talking to them about it because I agree they wouldn't understand. I'm just motivated by being surrounded by them and the healthy environment.

looks like you choose the wrong month to quit drinking..

so now that you are sober you still want me?

Good luck. You will lose so much weight and have a healthier body as a result. Booze is empty calories and makes you eat when you are tipsy. That and you'll save money, have more energy and sleep better. It's the right thing to do.

Hurray is a real word. Hopefully OP will have more hurrays and less "Oh crap I did what now?" going forward.

I eat less when I drink, not more, but maybe I am the exception.

interjectionsI don't know what grammar rock is, and youtube is blocked on this connection I'm using at the moment. I'll look at it later.

Kandykornhead said:Hurray is a real word.I realize that hurray is a real word. I just informed the OP of the more common phrase I believe she intended to use.

i went back and read the title and i agree with you.

Kandykornhead said:Yes Captain Condescension I see it clearly now. I also think "punch your buttocks" has more flair.Hah! No condescension intended. I'd rather some idiot (like me) point out an error I'm making on the internet, than go through life using a phrase incorrectly.

A coworker of mine constantly says 'I can't phantom..." He means to say 'fathom;. He's a good work friend of mine, so I once mentioned it to him when no one was around, but he continues to use it. It's a shame because when he does, the circle of people he's talking to give each other an odd look (at his expense).

Are you an alcoholic? Or do you just mean you're going to stop drinking socially etc. because you happen to be joining this yoga program for unrelated reasons?

Either way - good luck.

ETA: oops - didn't notice OP saying she can't drink in moderation.

Thank you. Not an alcoholic, but I've realized that it will lead to that if I continue on that path.
