I have broken the habit of drinking. Haven't had a beer for 6 months and only 1 beer in 1 year and 2 months. I was around people today who were drinking and have being around people who drink quite a lot and they usually offer you a drink. I always say no.

Now I wanna tackle soft drinks/fruit juices. Just give them up cold turkey?

Basically I just made a decision I'm a non alcohol drinker and I don't drink. Now all I drink is water, green tea and decaf coffee.

Decaf coffee. WTF is the point? It's like drinking non-alcoholic beer.

I like the taste of decaf coffee and it also has other health benefits.
Non alcoholic beer I don't drink even though I like the taste of it.

My caffeine intake comes from a few cups of green tea and and a few bites of 95% dark chocolate.

I quit soft drinks and sweets cold turkey about 20 years ago when I started a low carb diet. After about a week or two of feeling and acting like a total *******, I was good to go.

Even though I still hit a reduced amount of carbs occasionally, I totally lost the taste and desire for soft drinks and sweets. Wish I had done it years earlier. Sweet drinks are actually repulsive to me now.

Good luck!

Ginger Ale on ice looks exactly like Scotch.

If you want to give up sugar, diet Ginger Ale is great, but not always available.

If all you drink is water, green tea and decaf coffee you probably don't need to worry about any other beverages because you don't drink them.

Sweet thread though bro

When it comes to breaking habits neuroplasticity is the tool to use.

I like that scene in The Graduate where the old guy tells young Dustin Hoffman "One word: neuroplastics."

I posted this very recently but i think that it is appropriate for this thread. “ Not breaking habits is a bad idea for anyone attracted to Julie Andrews “
