I quit drinking

dang, I have no clever come back, yet.

 

Best of luck its the drink that got me in a bad way .real Fuckted up just had to give it up . that was two years ago i had the same feelings as you . but life just got beter .
ok i love my smoke weed or hash .
i never tought i could live with out alcohol ,

 

good luck man. but watch out for withdrawl symptoms. if you're a bad enough alcoholic, the withdrawl can kill you (your body overheats and you literally burn up). same thing can happen with heroin. anyway, it's rare, but something to watch out for. keep that thermometer handy.

 

I went 3 days last week without alcohol and all that happened was my nose started to bleed. Not sure why it bled but i'm sure it's related.

 

you will feel so much better.

it takes a while for your system to adjust,the more ya drink the longer it takes.. took me about a year before i really realized how fucked up my system had become.

stick with it and you wont regret it. i know i dont..

 

Thanks HHB. I fully intend on making this last. I finally made a decision. I toyed with it for some time and now I'm just so fucking sick of drinking.

 

i don't understand quitters


how much did you drink in order to feel depressed and shit?
in that case i'm glad you're quitting

i suppose if i drink as much as i do now when i'm a 37 year old father i'll quit too and then make a thread about it

 

I'm not depressed now, I'm worried about becoming so while quitting. I've been plum fucking giddy. I just feal like shit for about half a day and am no longer operating at a high capacity as I was once did. I was drinking about 8 beers a night until i went to sleep.

 

crazy
my suggestion for happiness is follow these steps i did:

1. buy a shit ton of fireworks
2. buy a gym membership
3. buy a 40 of russian vodka <i suppose you can leave this one out>
4. get a personal trainer that flirts with you and busts your ass into shape
5. go tanning once
6. spend your friday nights out dancing like a weirdo with fellow weirdos
7. blow off fireworks all over your residential neighbourhood pissing off your neighbours even more than they already are
8. put a penis in your mouth and suck for about 4 or 5 mins <the time limit i got from an m&m song>
9. work on secret projects that cannot be discussed with anyone except for one other person
10. repeat process until you die

happiness thus can be achieved

 

hmmm, thats only a ten step program. Iwas thinking about a twelve step program but no where in there does it talk about sucking a penis to an M&M song.

 

ok 11. step is to go tanning again, i haven't reached that yet
and the 12. step is to eat steaks, i forgot about that one

 

Bam!! nice

 

Three things here:

Is it a big kegorator or a mini kegorator.

How much for the kegorator?

Good luck sir.

 

Stopping drinking is easy.

It's waking up naked in the park without anything to blame it on that's the hard part.

 

It's a large kegerator and I will be selling it for $200.00. Thanks for the luck

 

I may be in touch......

And you're welcome.

 

Hey, good for you. I've cut back, I was at the point where I was drinking daily (not like it was a whole lot, maybe 2-3 drinks a day) and I realized I was really feeling like total crap most of the time. Now I limit myself to a few drinks on the weekend to kick back and relax/celebrate. Even then, there are weekends now when I just think, hey, I don't really need/want this. It's a good feeling.

It's hard though. The minute I start feeling stressed or overwhelmed, I start craving a drink. Keeping myself busy through that craving is the key. I get past that hump, get my mind on something else and I no longer feel the urge to reach for a drink to chill out.

Good luck to you, hang in there. You can do it.

 

Thats where it started for me. It became daily. Only 1-2-or3 but was daily. It evolved from there into 8 beers a night and not weak beer either. My beer puts my neighbors on their asses but I had built quite the substantial tolerance. anyways, yeah, I feel like shit almost 24-7 the best I feel is when I'm drinking and thats very short lived.

 

Yeah, I was starting to notice that those few drinks weren't really doing much of anything anymore, my tolerance was going up, and I thought, wow, I really need to cut this out. And like I said, I realized on the days where I didn't touch a drop, I felt sooo much better. Alert, focused, energized. It was amazing to me. I guess you just get used to feeling a certain way and don't realize. You know?

 

Quitters unite! My old man quit in 2005 and SUPER glad he did. I quit before he did, but I didn't have a craving at all. In fact, I never liked the taste, and ended up discovering I really didn't like the buzz either. Nor did I like regularly hanging out with people who make themselves retarded on purpose. About the time it becomes a "voluntary handicap" is about the time to rethink "why?"
