This is the 3rd time in the last 10 years taking a year break. Don’t plan on ever starting back up this time around.

Congrats. There are only two occasions when I might drink, .....................when I'm alone and when I'm with somebody else!!:mad::BangHead:
 
Good for you! A friend of mine who quit years ago uses this analogy. "If people will think of alcohol, drugs, and nicotine the same way as they would an awful ex wife/girlfriend or ex husband/boyfriend.....it makes it simple to never want to go back!" Congrats again.....and stay on the wagon!

:thumbsup::thumbsup:
 
I quit everything, not all at once, and I never looked back, but Ya just want to want it enough.

AWESOME. The further along you get, the better it feels. 01/17/2021 will be 29 years. For 30 years I’m going to break open a bottle of nonalcoholic wine given to me by a friend who is now dead.
 
Well done! Bet you feel healthier now..

If you find yourself restless, irritable and discontent and missing the sense of ease and comfort that comes with those first few drinks you are not alone. While injurious, many people follow it to the bitter end of jails, institutions, insanity and death. There is a solution. Anyone struggling with it, please PM me.

My cousin was an ER Critical Care Nurse at a major hospital in Reno, Nevada. She said the two worse ways she has seen people die are from alcohol and cigarettes.

Feel great. Haven’t found a hobby to takes its place yet. Definitely a better dad. Have a 69 dart GT that I’ve been working on but I’m having trouble finding motivation. body work stage, I hate body work.
 
Awesome work! How much were you drinking?
2-infinity beers a day or however many vodka squirts I could drink from after work until 10:00. The final straw was Vikings/saints playoff game. Rudolph for the win in overtime led to 4 finger whiskeys. Had to take my lunch break at 9:30 the next morning.

haven't watched football since. Also sold my pool table. Sober pool wasn’t much fun.

I’ve got a lifelong friend who is now living with his niece and husband because they had room for him and could take care of him while he dies.

They have hospice coming by 4 times a day. He spent his life drinking and doing dope. He quit six years ago when he watched his brother die a wretched, miserable, painful death but it was too little too late.

Of course no one can go see him because the ‘rona but I talked to him Monday and he’s made peace with his death.


Freaking sad. He turned 56 a few months back.
