I went from being drunk every night to giving it up for the most part.

Almost lost the family and was in a pretty dark place and things turned around once I stopped drinking and started being available to my family. I'm a lot better off without it.

I'm not anti and I didn't really consider myself an alcoholic. I just had a job that encouraged drunkenness with very cheep often times free drinks, while on the clock. It was just a generally unhealthy thing to do, physically and mentally.

I had a few celebratory beers a few weeks ago and since my tolerance has gone out the door, I paid the price the following day. So after that, my alcohol consumption is pretty much nil. I feel a lot better without it and considering the amount of responsibility I know have in my professional life. Being a drunk isn't really conducive to that.

I'm going about two months pretty soon. I could never go indefinite I don't think, but once a year I give up something I shouldn't be doing or try something new for some variances. I'm glad you woke up before something really awful happened.

I have a close friend who just had to go to jail for a dui. I thought that would help him with his problems but since he's been out it's worse than before.

Lucks got nothing to do with it though.

Hope you find what you're looking for dude.

I got your back, too. :thumb:

I've posted a few threads on here about trying to quit, as well. I haven't completely kicked it, but I still want to. Hopefully after my upcoming move, it'll be easier. Fingers crossed.

Last year, I quit drinking just so I could afford a wretch machine. Of course I immediately started again after obtaining the wretch. With the exception of meeting up with an online buddy for a few beers, I have not had a drink in 2 months. I used to hit the booze pretty hard, drunk every fucking day. On the weekends, I would start drinking as soon as I woke up. Now i just smoke.

Quit drinking and after a while, use the money you saved to buy something expensive.
