I decided to cut it out December 29th rather than January 1st. No BS I was drinking too much in general and far too much to race my bike effectively. I read another thread elsewhere and the author said something like “ask yourself why you drink”? That was enough. I didn’t have an answer so it jus…

Day 9 for me too sleeping worse feeling the same. But there is no way it’s performance enhancing so I’m sure it’s healthier. Recovery might be better. I’m in for the month then we’ll see. This thread has helped!!

@Joe Way to go Joe. My sleep hasn’t really improved much either. I’m going to give it 90 days.

You might have got off to sleep faster with a drink in you but studies show that alcohol stops you getting into the deep sleep you really need. Your brain chemistry has been thrown off over time, so depending on what you’ve been drinking and for how long it could take a bit of time to settle down, b…

As m…

[image] RONDAL: With a ton of good info exactly on CICO and some other varients, with some amazing linked articles within it. Worth a scan through. Agreed. I’ve been monitoring from time to time. As I say often “I’ve made every mistake in the book. Twice!” I’ve been successful with cico a…

I’m a light drinker (weekend shared bottle of nice red with my wife) but, inspired by this thread I’m now on a booze free January. Interesting that I’ve never really drunk much though, as I have a real obsessive, addictive personality especially towards processed sugar (and Trainerroad of course). …

[image] William_Fisher: I can tell you that while I was successful in my former life, since I quit drinking ( I am 58) my effectiveness and achievement in life has doubled at everything I do. I definitely am getting more out of my evenings. Instead of sitting around sipping away…I’m doing stu…
