good luck with it. i didn't make a big decision to stop drinking altogether, it just kind of happened last year. i decided i needed a break about a year and a half ago. so i just started working out during the time i normally drank. at some point i realized it felt pretty good not drinking and although i do miss the flavor of a gorgeous guinness... i don't miss it. much.

for me the only hard part was when i realized what the alcohol that was always in my system did for me. i was a very happy fully functional drunk. i was never hammered, but usually buzzed. i found out that after being sober for some time that sobriety brought my temper to the surface. apparently the booze suppressed that. so i recognized that and deal with that through means that aren't turning my liver into a rock.
