Quit Drinking

True confession, me and my hubby are quitting drinking.

Neither of us have a problem. We have a healthy relationship with alcohol. We LIKE to drink 3 or 4 times a week.
Two nights ago we were drinking a 4loco and all of a sudden it hit us, almost at the same time. We really should just quit drinking. Alcohol is of the devil :devil: .
And it doesn't do anything to enrich our lives.

That's not to say we will never drink again. We aren't alcoholics so it's not like we HAVE to stay away from the stuff. Drinking 4 times a week can get a bit extensive (and expensive). We will still drink on special occasions and stuff. But there is no since in us drinking by ourselves!

I want my body to be as pure as I can possibly get it. If I could quit smoking cigarettes, that would be amazing. One thing at a time though. The only thing I'm okay with putting in my body is THC and that's because cannabis is a natural plant.

 

Good luck with that... I did the same about 25 years ago. It's an easy habit to break if you don't have a problem.

 

I bet it will be a little harder than I think. Especially the first few times I have to tell my friends "no" when they offer a drink. A few people acted like I was crazy to want to quit drinking... don't know what that's about. I guess they just don't want to see me better myself when they are still involved in a bad habit like that.

 

So is tobacco.

 

But the stuff they put in it isn't natural. Carcinogens - Yuck!
I got a cigarette lit in my hand right now and I want to yell at myself every time I inhale. I've been smoking for 7+ years. I'm ready to quit this too but it will take more time and work.

 

I used to be a really big drinker, as in I practically lived at the pub. But I've not drank any alcohol in quite a few months now, and I feel much happier for it. Think it has been a real problem for me in the past. While I always enjoyed getting drunk, I didn't always like the person it turned me into. Also, my dad's an alcoholic and I don't really want to fall into that hole!

Still smoking for the moment, but I'm quitting as of tomorrow. Managed to quit a couple of times before, and actually didn't find it terribly hard.

Good luck with giving up the source, hope it goes okay!

 

Respect for doing this, hope it goes ok. I often quit for a few months, then think it'll be ok to just have a little drink...and end up drinking too much for awhile. And you're right, its never worth it. As drugs go, alcohol has to be one of the most pointless!

 

I quit in 1988

 

Alcohol is a solvent ,, never solved anything for me..

 

doesn't really sound like it

i don't drink enough to worry about quitting that (1-3 beers, 3 nights a week max, sometimes none all week)

but i do smoke a significant amount of weed and have been doing that for about the last 11 years (first toke was 13 years ago, but 11 years ago i became a pretty regular pot smoker)

i also take psychedelics about once a month for the last few years, which i may have accumulated some negative effects from...

 

Okay, so I quit smoking for a while and started again. But that was mainly due to being drunk and being a moron. I'll do better this time, I promise. Haha.

 

to tell as many people as possible that you are quitting and then also make bets with them which are all one sided make it a lot of money then the day before you quit have a carton of ciggs and smoke every second and you will be so sick of them for 5 days and since you will owe a fortune if you start..

 

yep, any plant is good for consumption, and anything derived from plants is bad for you.

i enjoy drinking, even if it's by myself. not constantly, but a few nights a week anyway. i'd rather smoke weed instead, but it's illegal for whatever reason and as far as i can tell it doesn't exist around here.

 

So, I fell off the wagon. LOL. I really did have a break down today so I had to drink to fix myself. (I didn't break down from not drinking, just being lonely all day.)
But, tomorrow will be day 1 !

Don't give me shit for messing up one day! That would be counter productive to my sobriety. Remember, I don't have a REAL problem!

 

It's illegal for some Bull Shit reason!!!!!!!

 

Guess what, you are getting carcinogens in a lot of things.
this includes many man made things and natural things some such as tobacco, charred or bbq food items and yes smoking pot.

 

I would LOVE to be as clean as possible. I realize there are some "unavoidable" things to worry about, but I don't worry about those things!
I'm 24, I'm learning!!! I'm still young and still trying to figure my way in life. There are things I'm going to miss step on but I will make it through.

At least I'm smarter than most people my age. They don't even have a clue!

 

To be honest you are way smarter than me, I am an alcoholic and a chain smoker with severe health issues do to them.

I am very so happy you are trying to better your life.

 

Thanks man!
Maybe you should consider doing the same???

 

your welcome.

Ive been kinda forced into that position because of my decline of health.
It will not be easy but has to happen, so I will.
