GFChris Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Keep wine out of the house.Do something non-food related after dinner.Explore the many possible teas out there instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DylanAngel Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 I just keep telling myself that it's only 30 days, stare at the wine rack, get a little blue and move on. In other words, I take it craving by craving. Getting rid of all my wine was not an option and I am always somewhere where there is alcohol so I'm dealing with it head on. Good luck!

I bought some today but see things floating in it and not sure if I am supposed to strain it or what??? The floaty things are probably bits of yeast that form naturally in kombucha, or possibly even a new SCOBY (symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast -- the thing that makes kombucha ferment). They won't hurt you, you can drink them, or if the texture might be an issue for you, you can strain it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators ultrarunnergirl Posted February 18, 2015 Moderators Share Posted February 18, 2015 Put it in a wine glass and toast to your health! Sometimes I add a splash or more of sparkling water for extra fizz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuthintheDesert Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I am going to take some Calms Forte homeopathic stuff the first few nights to help me sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krista Billows Rodriguez Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Kombucha, bubbly water in a wine glass with squeezed lemon, herbal tea. Other than that, distracting myself with a book or checking the forum helps the cravings pass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonib2125 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I was wondering the same thing. I'm on day 3 and going out to a restaurant for the first time tonight. I'm going to drink seltzer w/lime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crissie1019 Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Okay, so I'm totally a nightly wine drinker. Here is my trick, and it's working great. Keeping wine out isn't the answer really - it may not be there, but them I'm cranky that I want something that's not there - having wine at night has become a habit. After reading a great book on the power of habits, I chose to substitute wine for something else - tea. So rather than pouring a glass of wine, I make a cup of tea. I still have something to hold and something to drink - it's just good for me now. After a week, I started playing with tea flavors so it's never dull. Good luck!

Rwilk44 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 La Croix sparkling water has been a nice change for me from my black tea and coffee. And bullet proof coffee is also amazing! But I am getting bored with the drinks. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herbal teas come in all kinds of flavors. There's infused waters. Check out this article for suggestions, or google Whole30 beverages for more.
