[@iamthelostsea9878]

[@bbbbbbb51]

​@@BassPlayer9000props for saying this. Many go sober and preach it like the gospel. Reality is realizing some people can handle it and have self control with it. I'd argue most people can & they just have occasional slips where they drink a bit too much when they're with the right people/environment. I may be projecting a bit, but it's also just what I observe. I drink semi-regularly, but despise getting wasted or blackout. In my dozen or so years doing it I've only blacked out a single time. I just cut myself off before I get there.

2 years sober. best choice I ever made in my life

[@ClocktowerDreamhouse]

I’m 30. When I quit alcohol I had a fear that I wouldn’t be able to have fun at social gatherings anymore or I’d be “missing out”. Now, after having been to many gatherings, parties and even a weekend-long bachelor party in Miami without touching a drop of alcohol, I realize I’m not missing out on anything. As a sober person watching everyone down shots and cocktails, you realize you don’t need to drink to have an awesome time. Plus, you get to wake up feeling great because your body isn’t trying to shut down due to dehydration and sleep deprivation. Alcohol is 100% not worth it and you’ll never regret not drinking. Nothing good happens at a bar past midnight.

[@gonzoteacher]

Nobody who quits drinking ever regrets it. Got 1.5 years here. Don't miss it at all. Yes it was fun in many ways but overall not worth the hangovers, empty calories, and anxiety. Goodbye booze!

It only took about 2 weeks before i quit reaching just from habit, then by week 5 or 6 i was no longer thinking about it, by month 3 alcohol starting sounding repulsive and that stands to today. I prayed about it and i have no other explanation as to why it was so easy for me. I hope it can be that easy for some others because i was on a fast track to the cemetery and so are many others.

[@Mark-pp7jy]

For anyone wanting to "quit drinking", STOP trying to "quit drinking"! Since alcohol is NOT the root problem, all of our focus must be on "living differently". I mean literally how we move our feet. The moment I conceded to my innermost self that "I" had to change, was the moment I began to recover! The more that we are focused on living in the solution, the less alcohol is a part of our consciousness. All the best, Mark 5/8/1994

Good for Billy. And all y’all that quit. My wife got pancreatitis in 2022 and damn near died She HAD to quit and it wasn’t that easy for her. We drank daily for decades. I stopped a time or two over the years. A month here, several months there. While my wife was in the Hospital I rid our home of ALL Alcohol. That way if she were tempted…too bad. We live in the wilderness and she stopped driving several years ago (DUI). Too expensive to drive for her. I still drink but only at the Bar upriver from us and maybe twice a month. Often far less. I do enjoy the fellowship. I never have more than three drinks. Sure save a ton of money and in this damned economy us seniors don’t have a lot of spare money. I’ve lost some very dear friends to John Barleycorn. My wife will be 75 next month and almost two years sober. She can sure smoke some herb though!
