Doc said I have to cut alcohol

[fast306stang]

So I've cut way back but hopefully I can just sip on a little sumpin every now and again.

This jar is more than a pint but less than a quart.

I took 3.4 ounce pack of banana cream pudding mix and split it between 2 jars. I added some water and some milk, a splash of vanilla extract until the jar was half full. Filled the rest with whipped cream vodka. Pretty damn good.

The real recipe calls for white lightning and vanilla creamer but I don't have either, sooooo...

I have a box of lemon pudding to try next, same thing.

Sounds good. Why’d doc tell you to knock off the booze? You’re relatively young right? If you don’t mind me asking of course.

No worries! I'm 51 so not too young anymore.

Triglycerides are 3700 and supposed to be under 175. Alcohol is a contributing factor. So I try not to have any beer or alcohol in the house. I've had a tall draft at the Mexican restaurant once every 2 weeks for the past 2 months but I wanted something different.

I had cut it out entirely for about 8 months...it took me over a year to be able to do that, the urge for a beer is really strong after a ****ty day at work or when I fire up the grill. I wish I could leave it alone entirely but some days I want to drink or jump off a bridge lol. I'm diabetic on top of that soooo...

A little something to take the edge off, I'm definitely using it for a coping mechanism. I was drinking 20-30 beers a week so I'm definitely drinking less than I was. But I know people who drink 15 every night and 30 on the weekends with no issues, just doesn't seem fair lol

They are killing themselves. Death by beer. Die with yellow skin and a body full of poison.

You're right. But damn it looks and sounds like they're having fun doing it lol

Alright.

This will be the 3rd or 4th time of me trying to quit. I'm gonna finish these up and try again.

It’s hard. But it will be worth it.

Gotcha. Not sure where I picked up the idea you were younger than that. Keep it up brother. I have slowed way down but still need to do better myself.

Well maybe just putting it out there can help us hold ourselves accountable. That wasn't the point of this thread but the twist isn't a bad thing...
