[quote=Anonymous]OP, I was right there with you.  And my DH still drinks.

I stopped back in September.  I was exercising daily but also hydrating DAILY with wine.  I would easily put back an entire bottle of moscato every night.  On the weekends, a bottle and a half a day.  I was sleeping like shit and hungover.  And the worst part was that my tolerance was so high that I didn't even get a buzz.  I was just drinking because it was my thing to do.

I quit cold turkey when I started keto and intermittent fasting.  For the first time in 18 months I started to lose weight (despite constant half-assed futile efforts before then).  I have given myself permission to drink a couple of times for special occasions/social events but then decided against it.  I feel 1000% times better, and never bloated or swollen from all the sugar in the wine, no hangovers, and have more energy in the mornings.

I've lost 30 lbs since September.  I've replaced the wine with flavored 0 calorie water and hot green tea.  It's completely fine because, as I said above, I wasn't even getting buzzed anyway.

The possibility of having abs on this 40+ body is all the incentive I need to keep going!  Do this for you -- let your DH continue to drink if he wants to.  But if you really want to quit, pour yourself some sparkling water in a wine glass and chug chug chug.[/quote]
