Hi John & wife, keep some meat in bite size pieces for quick snacks when needed. I'm happy to hear about you decision to change. We're all doing the same thing here.

Welcome to Carnivore Talk John. Those that are the most desperate to change have the most motivation to succeed. It’s good that you are immersing yourselves into the community by watching videos

Welcome. I am sorry to hear about your situation, though a not surprising effect of alcohol consumption. I have a lot of respect for the fact you decided to share this with us. Not only have you
So last week, the wife and I just hit the wall, fed up with our life, health and nutrition. Me... I am a sugar addict and love carbs and protein. OH... I can also drink a half gallon of Whisky a week and have done so for several years. The wife.... well, she can do without sugar and most carbs, but LOVES chips.... She is also an alcoholic, easily drinking 10-15 bottles of wine a week.
Our health has just deteriorated and I have shown signs of Diabetes, not to mention high blood pressure and 3-4 other things with my body that are upsetting, like my joints hurting and probably being about 75lbs over-weight. The wife... well, she is in a stressful job and her blood pressure has been on the rise the past year and she has gained about 25lbs.
So... we are done. After reading for about a week and watching YouTubes about the Carnivore Diet, we dropped everything, cold Turkey and started Thursday morning. This is Saturday evening and we have successfully done zero carb, 100% meat for three days now. Thankfully, no headaches, but we are dealing with low energy, some muscle cramps on occasion and waking up at 3:30-4am every morning very hungry.
But WOW.... we feel so dang good already. Of course it helps to not wake up with a hangover. If I can find the right place on this forum, I might start an accountability thread where I tell our story over time. But we are 100% committed and it is nice to have a spouse doing the exact same thing, with the same goals.
Hello from Western Colorado.
