I want to pull my hair out!!! My boyfriend just brought alcohol into our home. I'm trying to live as clean as possible. I stopped smoking 7 months ago and now that I've changed my diet I no longer drink alcohol either. It's so tempting though. I have no problems turning down the animal products. I still fight with myself over bread, that's always been an issue and that's another big one with him but alcohol is huge especially if it's been a hard week or something and I could use a nice glass of wine. The other day he seriously tried to get me to trade one of my organic apples for a cheese burger. I've about had enough of him not taking me seriously. I just wish that I wasn't stuck here. Ugh, sorry, just had to vent I guess :(

rotten fruit is by far my favorite alcohol by the way.
Well part of me would like to enjoy a glass every now and then but part of me would like to never ever have it again. I don't want any chemicals again, ya know? I know that it's best that I don't have any. I remember times when I would drink and it would affect my stomach so terribly and I would be so sick the next day. I used to be a really heavy drinker. So, I'm glad that I don't drink anymore and I'm happy without it. Thanks for all of the support.
If he's not being supportive, I'd leave him. I have a vegan boyfriend, he eats cooked foods (I'm ok with that) and he is supportive of my food choices too. (the relationship is a good fit). I used be a heavy drinker and I quit drinking, my boyfriend likes to have a glass of wine sometimes. He doesn't push booze on me. I don't drink when he has a glass of wine, I sit and drink my water :)
Hi sweetheart- I used to be a heavy drinker and I'm not totally released from it. I'm completely neutral to alcohol now; it's been a decade. I put it behind me like I put playing with Barbie dolls behind me, you know.
So, what are your thoughts on it now after reading some of our responses?
Don't get me wrong, I know that if I drink enough of it I'll feel like crap later on or when I wake up. Even if I drink a little bit of it, it's still doing damage to my body, I get this. It's just still easy to think about winding down with a glass, at least for me it is. I don't want to put that stuff in my body again but I'm just not as strong with it yet as I am with everything else.
I can certainly understand that. And yes I was thinking the same thing I was longing to just sit and enjoy a glas of wine it seemed so lovely and appealing but it passed the appeal and the awe wouldn't it be lovely and relaxing feeling it gone and that aspect doesn't appeal to me. I relax now either with a good book or some beautiful fruit. Makes me feel amazing.
Eat more to kick those cravings. I am serious. If it looks appealing eat. Eat until you don't want it anymore. Dont give in. I was never a consistent drinker but when I did drink I took it way to far and got ridiculously drunk to the point of getting dangerous. I didn't do it often so I thought it was no big deal. Problem is I started drinking way to young sadly. And I am not kidding when I say way to young. I drank to the point where I was so durnk I would not remember the night of drinking. I have had falls and hit my head etc. Once I turned 21 I had the worst experience to day and I quit drinking after that. Then I had it again a few years later and it again once I started drinking I couldn't stop and I got ridiculously dangerously drunk. So I drank occassionally again for just a little (can't remember how ling) then stopped again and then a little bit before I started this lifestyle I started drinking very lightly (1 =3 drinks max) very rarely. I hadn't had one touch of alcohol for awhile before starting this lifestyle but strangely it started to appeal to me again and I almost craved it. Now I think it is disgusting and I would never put that in my body ever. And now one of my biggest regrets form my past is that I ever put that in body in the first place. So please don't give in. Just eat and live clean and the cravings will stop.
surprised you haven't dropped him yet, but it's w/e.
how do people even enjoy alcohol? even as weak as wine. it taste like sh*t, dehydrates you, and clouds our judgement, thinking and reaction time. afterwards when effects fade away you feel like sh*t. plus it ruins your liver.
I used to drink wine, never am I putting that garbage in my body again. (it's funny, cause my 21 birthday is coming up, oh...will I have a fun time refusing the invitations of going out to bars and getting sh*tfaced for the occasion lol)
