Well, maybe not completely, but I'm going to give it a damn good try, especially considering the drunken mood I got into last night. I enjoy drinking a lot, but often I don't drink very sensibly and the result is either that I make an arse of myself or occassionally get irritable and upset people, which isn't good. Can't be doing my insides very good either; and meditation can be so difficult after a couple of beers. I'm gonna start being a good Buddhist, and sticking to my precepts. Wish me luck everyone!
good luck to you, just make sure you are doing it for the right reasons and are not too ridgid on yourself! i stopped drinking when i was 17 and also around the time i started practicing properly. now i don't even notice a difference, i have a fantastic time when im out and about, everyone accepts it and most of the time im the last one standing-oh and did i mention that i always have a clear head the benefits greatly outweigh the negetives with giving up. all the luck in the world for you!

Good luck Bro, I know how hard it is. Peace. Glory to the 3x Gem. Trust in the sangha. Make some sangha friends and donate some time to charities. That's what I did.
