I think you'll find that most of us don't drink.
So I guess you can't do both? I've managed to eat Healthy and juice everyday but I love to drink when I go out with friends.
a few people have a glass of organic wine occasionally without ill effect but alcohol is really rather toxic and it makes little sense to drink even moderately when you are eating cleanly and for good health.
Green juice or smoothie heals addiction.
They did an experiment where people had to continue their same life style except to add green smoothie. Strangely, the one doing coffee, couldn't handle it anymore, the same with the one doing meat or alcohol.
I find my smoothie is my coffee.
If i was you, i would ditch the alcohol and listen to my body.
You're right. My body is telling me that alcohol is no longer welcome inside of me. I'm going to slowly cut down until i'm alcohol free. Thank you very much.

If you truly want to stop, stop in one fell swoop. Don't prolong it....that is of no help to your body. Determine what you want to do, make the decision to do it, and then do it. Search within to find your triggers and avoid them. There is an addiction factor to alcoholism that is not so much related to the alcohol but moreso to an allergy or sensitivity to the grain or food from which it is made. It may help you for example, to avoid rice, wheat, potatoes, or grapes, based on the alcohol you consumed and feel the need to feed your body with.
And as Revvell so wisely questions.....Why? Knowing the answer to that, as with all addictions, will take you far in being able to leave it or moderate it sensibly.
Yeah, cutting out alcohol can be tough when it's a part of your social life, even though it's making you feel terrible.
Here's what I do, when I need to be out for work events or drinks with friends - show up early (before your friends, if you're uncomfortable telling them that you're cutting back on drinking). Tell the bartender that you are not a drinker, but that you are here to socialize. Ask him to pour you a tonic/soda water and make it look like a cocktail - include the garnish, napkin, everything. Tell the bartender to keep making you this drink when you ask for it.
Make sure you tip him well at the end of the night, and next time, he'll know what to do before you even ask. Your friends think you're having some kind of clear alcohol, no one is uncomfortable, and you still feel good the next day!
Ooh, make sure you get your bill separately! That way no one wonders why your drinks are so cheap ;)
:woohoo:
WOW, This a great idea. I will try this thanks!
I am thankful that red wine is a raw food:) It depends on what I have before consuming it as to the effect. I don't drink in huge great quantities (everything in moderation) but before a social event I make sure to put something a little more substantial in my body (raw crackers and guacamole, mock salmon made from walnuts in a veggie roll, etc), this seems to help. Also there are certain types of Sake that are raw and can be used in place of alcohol in mixed drinks. I am not a real big fan of sake so when I order one of these it give me something to hold in a social setting.
Great suggestion LexieW!
I'm glad I don't really like alcohol much. It can be quite handy to see your social group from a sober perspective too.
You also might try taking a break from the alcohol (cold turkey) for a period to let your body detox and re-balance, and then trying adding a little back and see how it goes. Not advocating for alcohol use:) I've just learned that my body reacts differently at different times.
I prefer eating grape fresh and not fermented, so much better for my belly. I cannot stand alcohol.
It isn't because wine can be find raw this it means it is ok, because it isn't if your goal is to heal. Alcohol is alcohol but if someone isn't ready to stop drinking, it could be an alternative and drank in moderation. Anyway. If my body says, enough, i listen.
All the best!
Infused medication: Injecting medication into the patient's bloodstream is another alcohol treatment method for those who are having problems with alcohol. Such meds may include the injectable counterpart of Naltrexone which is Vivitrol.
