I'm not an alcoholic - but...

because they close all the good threads.

oh, you meant...

 

No, moderators tend to be . That I get.

 

Yeah, finding other things to do is key.
Hip Forums isn't a trigger for me to start drinking, though
I found a way to cut down on smoking - so...

When I say four hours I mean that's how long it takes me to drink X amount...usually about 3-4 cans.
I don't fit in as much as I can in that space of time.
I have taken tests like that before - It's based on about 3-4 units a day, which is about 1 can of beer - that doesn't sound an awful lot.
I guess I just want my energy and motivation back - booze robs you of that.
Plus, I'm not getting any younger - I can't keep bashing my body and expecting it to bounce back.

Yeah, that would be a very good idea.
Mine is, apparently, fine, too - I want to keep it that way.

Boredom, I guess.

Thanks.

 

I guess a lot of people don't find themselves in any type of trouble.
It's not impacting their lives in a major way.
If I were constantly unable to function: Go to work, get out of bed and keep myself clean and tidy - I'd have more motivation to cut back.
It's perhaps about falling through the cracks.
It's like when I was at school - I wasn't stupid, and didn't mess around, but neither was I of any note, and on the radar of teachers for special treatment etc - I was just average/normal.
I fell through the cracks.

 

lol... yeah.

 

I quit drinking completely when I became diabetic. I never drank much anyways. I drank as much as I smoke pot once in a blue moon.
