yeah beer, soda. i love them both. i am 20 and have had lots of alcohol since i was 15..both of my parents are alcoholics, so this is just extra incentive for me. loose weight, and solidify my life as a healthy sober person!

i tell everyone. all my family and friends definately know, and my classmates/coworkers are super excited for me. i'm getting it out there, that way when i go out with friends, there are no weird excuses about restaurants/food/alcohol. they no it's not part of my life anymore and they are more supportive now that they know i'm serious about my decisions to change myself!
