I'm gonna quit drinking

I quit drinking 20 years ago; I would just get wasted on the weekends and haven’t missed it a bit. Dipping is another story...I quit chewing the day before my son was born 2 1/2 years ago and I miss it every single day.
 
I've been meaning to pick up a bottle of tequila for a while now I keep postponing it. Think I'm going to go ahead and do it today since traffic has been light.
 
i think for most people, addictions are not about the substance, but about the person needing a substance coping mechanism. it's a vice. if it's not alcohol, it's going to be something else. i'd personally trade the booze for marijuana. i'd actually not do anything, until i sorted out why i'm seeking a substance in order to handle life.

Very very true. I don't drink almost at all, my dad is a huge drinker not alcoholic but always has liquor and takes a shot or two every night or has some wine every night. I just smoke weed 24/7.

There was a point when my job had my traveling 1.5 hours after work to get home and that was on a perfect day. Any traffic or anything like that it was 1.45-2 hours. I was drinking a lot then almost every day after work. I got moved 25 mins away and barely drink at all now.
 
I meant to follow that drinking contest you had but I got stoned and forgot :/
You should consider a heavy cannabis habit, nice stuff, vaped oils. I've seen people kick all kinds of nasty things with it.
even the munchies?
 
What are you changing your username to? Pepsi?
 
I quit drinking last year for 5 months. This year haven't had a drink since September. I didn't drink that much before, but not the weekends I would Bing. Like 10 beers on a fri nights. Rarely drank during the week. But the weight gain and just hanging the next day is rough for me.

I'm going to try and see how long I can go. I might be going to ufc 232 for free with a Buddy and I might have to rip beers. Wish me luck on my journey.
 
I wish you the best @BEER

You are a cool ass dude keep frosty
 
You can do it, I quit a long time ago and haven't looked back.
 
Here we go again... I wish you the best but it does seem like you do a great deal more complaining than anything else.
 
"All the bar-flies sipping whiskey. Fighting ever present pity. Wondering what they keep sucking back for. Is it the drink or trepidation? Watching all trains leave the station. Left standing alone without a ticket."

“Frankly, I was horrified by life, at what a man had to do simply in order to eat, sleep, and keep himself clothed. So I stayed in bed and drank. When you drank the world was still out there, but for the moment it didn’t have you by the throat.”
 
I haven't drank in 2 years, but I still dont think I quit. I'm just going through a Cain Velasquez-type recovery.
 
Though i do admire someone that quits something like this, i wonder what i would do socially if i quit. I mean, a bar, per say, is a watering hole. Brand new people almost everytime. A new start to new friends and new girlfriends, if youre good at it.

But to do that without drinking? No chance.

Exactly this. For me it was booze but addict or alcoholoc it's all the same really. We are just trying to fill a hole in our life. Personally had to find God but I know that's not for everyone
 
Like Frank Sinatra once said I actually feel sorry for people who don’t drink, because when they wake up in the morning that’s the best they’re gonna feel all day.
