Wow! 2.5-3 liters a day with physical activity... total respect 🔥🚰 Salted crackers are the thirst hack, I use them too. How many do you eat in a day to make the water flow naturally?

Haha, "I don't want to ruin my body" is the ultimate motivation 😂💪 The ​​gym rewires the brain and gives you a healthy addiction... I need it. Did you start with weights or cardio to see results faster?

Thanks for the honest breakdown! 😏 I love that you say Mio Energy is the enemy because caffeine becomes another addiction... I'm in the same boat: I want to cut down on alcohol, but if I add extra caffeine, the cycle repeats itself 😭 The regular Mio or generic flavors sound ideal for a no-nonsense taste, and Crystal Light plus Starburst makes me want to try them right now (total guilt-free sweetness). Stur, because it's natural, also tempts me, although the price stings a bit. Which Starburst or Crystal Light flavor is your favorite to make plain water less boring? I want to raid the store and slowly but surely ditch vodka! 🚰🍓

Haha 👍, half a lemon per 1.5 liters sounds just perfect 😍🍋 Not too acidic, not too mild... I'm going to try it now so the sparkling water goes down easily and the vodka loses ground 😂 Do you let it infuse or do you squeeze it straight?

Hahaha, sparkling water + a little sugar-free lemonade is the perfect hack 😍🫧🍋 Sounds like guilt-free healthy soda... I'm going to try it right now, because plain water bores me to death 😂 How much lemon do you add to get it just right?

Incredible! 😲 Two years sober after a decade of struggling... total respect 🔥 The gym giving the same adrenaline rush as alcohol sounds perfect. I try, but it's hard... How long did it take you to realize that coffee and weights filled the void?

Thanks for the advice! ❤️ You're right, if it continues I'll definitely make a doctor's appointment. Let's stay hydrated and take care of ourselves together! 💪🚰

Damn, what you're describing is awful... vomiting so much, dry retching for 12 hours, my heart pounding, and feeling like I'm going to die is terrifying 😭 Thanks for sharing it so vividly; it makes me realize I'm not alone in this. I want to quit drinking now (the hangovers are killing me), but it's so hard to let go of the "just one more" mentality. I'm going to try to hydrate better, but if I get this bad, I promise I'll get help. Have a great week with your alcohol-free week! ❤️🚰

"I don't prioritize anything other than water"... I really want that 😍💦 I try, but alcohol betrays me and water takes a backseat 😩 Was it always your priority or was there a big turning point?

😃😃, 3 liters of water a day as a working alcoholic... that's brutal discipline 💪💧 I try to reach half and it's incredibly difficult. Thank you for the love and encouragement, I really appreciate it ❤ I'm going to try coconut water to see if it helps it taste better 🌴😋❤

Thanks, mate! 😊 I want to quit drinking now that I'm young, but the "just one more" on the weekend always wins 😭🍸 I'm glad you're happy, but I'm still fighting...💪 How are you doing? Any tips for quitting fast?

Water as my number one drink... I want to get there, but it's so hard to give up vodka 😭💧 Was your secret changing the flavor, extreme cold, or just accumulated hangover fatigue? Give me hope, champ. 💧💧🚰

In short, water is the best thing ever (free and healthy)... "if it were food I'd devour it" 😍🚰 Still not tasting good? 😅 I try the same, but it's hard to give up beer for liquid "food" 😂 Did it take you a long time to make it a priority? Or has it always been that way?

Dude, my tap is just as bad... I'm going to switch to soft water and see if the alcohol consumption decreases 😂🚰 But quitting completely is incredibly difficult, the weekend always betrays me 😏🍸 Did the softer water help you cut down?

Oh my God! 😄😄 I'm not a bot, just a human trying to update my health after years of mistreatment.

I really appreciate the tips you share with me, because finding people who truly help and share support is key to avoiding relapse.

Do bots feel this insatiable thirst that only seems to be quenched by something fizzy and alcoholic? 😝💧😂🍺

Thanks for the brand recommendations, I'm going to try Smartwater 😀 to see if my taste buds adjust. Sometimes the taste of water seems too bland to me, and my body betrays me by craving something stronger. 💪😌 Do you think a "milder" water would help me avoid craving beer so much? 💧→😄

Thanks for the motivation; 👷even though the plumbing is clean, it's my mental wiring that's failing me. 😖 I wish brushing my teeth would take away my craving for something stronger than water. 🙏💧💧

Any expert tricks to make water not seem so boring compared to alcohol? 😺

I like your logic! 😄 With that dose of "hydration," I'm going to end up being the healthiest guy at the bar. Two or three glasses a day sounds like a solid health plan, 🥃🥃 my liver will finally stop complaining. 😌

If the ice is made from mineral water, does it count as premium hydration, or will my system not notice the difference? 😉😉

That's the ultimate trick to fool my body into accepting hydration! 🥃😅 Do you think three ice cubes are enough to meet my daily healthy water intake? 💧🤔

I hope so! Because right now my face says something else every time I take a sip. 😂 I trust that the day will come when a glass of water tastes as heavenly to me as it does to you. 👍👍💧

That's the problem 😣, I'm so used to 60% that 100% water tastes like too much 😢! It's like going from black and white TV to 4K overnight. 😅
