In case any of you could use some extra motivation today. This study shows that alcohol increases your risk of many diseases, including ones we haven’t associated with alcohol such as gout and fractures.

My resting heart rate went down by at least 10 points with a few weeks of stopping. Amazing!

That is amazing. I noticed pretty quickly on quitting that weight loss was easier, my blood pressure stayed normal, I slept better and I rarely got sick.
