[@frankrammeloo7959]

Good job. I could never do that to myself. I tell myself everytime I feel the alcohol that this is the best feeling everyday again !

[@observingsystem]

For me the next day would be such a waste. I'd always feel less energetic and often horrible headaches, puking. Often I'd feel less than my best self for days in a row. I think there are better ways to have fun and feel alive than destroy myself with alcohol. I like achieving goals, I like feeling accomplished, alcohol never made me feel like anything but failing at self control and regretting my choices the next day. So in that way it became easy to me: it's a matter of goals. And also: a drunken night that people don't remember the next day anyway is a waste of time to me, no fun at all, just time you never get back that you could have used for something else.@@frankrammeloo7959

[@wesleycardinal8869]

Im 66 and sober for five years coming up 6 in March. I wasn't a wreck or anything, held down a professional job, raised a family, and carer for my wife who is now disabled. But I couldn't stop drinking. Every month it seems, I made a promise to myself to cut down. Only drink on weekends, only drink in company, only drink with food, never drink after 7 pm etc. etc. I realised finally I was never going to do any of these things. My addiction was lying to me using my own voice. So I quit. One day I just said that's it. I've had 30 or 40 years of drinking and what do I have to show for it. So for me the battle was in the mind, to accept that there was no moderation with me. It was quit or continue on getting worse. The first day put up a fight. It was like there was a whiny child inside demanding it's dummy, but it got easier after that first evening. It's like part of me accepted I was serious. I didn't experience any real physical withdrawal symptoms, just mental and emotional. Other people may be different, but that was what happened for me. I put the money I saved aside and decided to spend it on myself as a reward for quitting. It's come to over $30k so far. I lost about 25kg in weight, I feel great. There are no downsides to quitting. 👍

[@jakevan1969]

Wow, that is inspirational. I have had the same challenge with alcohol and food. With food it is the constant thought and then reward of the treat, the piece of pizza, the mocha coffee, the Chinese lunch, the snack on the way home from work, (I am cutting out sugar, refined carbs, oily/deep fried food, saturated fats, and of course alcohol). This is also psychological and emotional. We are surrounded by temptations and ultimately there is great reward in being in control of what goes in your mouth. I quit both bad food and alcohol Jan 1, so it has been 2 weeks. I was drinking an average of 3 days and 17 standard drinks/week for the past 2 months. I starting drinking at the age 13 with only a few breaks over the years, the last time being 3 months summer 2021, and I have already lost weight, I am feeling better emotionally, I am having more restorative sleeps, etc. I am looking forward to how I will feel and look at 2 months! I listened to a podcast out of Australia about a bet to quit for a year, so that is what I am doing this time, but deep down, I am worried that after a year I will slip back into the familiar pattern of binge drinking, poor eating habits and poor health outcomes. I really need to take care of my heart, lose some weight and lower the LDLs, this is a huge motivation at this point in my life. I am 53 and feel that it is now or never, that to give myself a chance to live another 20-30 years I have to regain control over what goes in my mouth, come hell or high water, and your story and those who so eloquently talk about quitting in the video are my inspiration. Thanks for sharing. pca.st/podcast/2e6dfec0-a093-0138-e661-0acc26574db2

[@Kajpaje]

Brother, friend, 5 years for me too. The dummy is a good analogy. For me it was like pulling up a runaway horse that just wouldn't stop. It was a fierce beast that controlled my life, leaving me a wreck. Now, that I finally pulled him up, I see him, or myself, or my father, or both grandfathers, uncles etc, as a weak and dopey big animal. He's still there like a false friend with jovial blokes names like Jack, Johnny and Jim. But without them I can function in real relationships and offer strength, not just take it from others. Thanks for sharing your story, and all strength to you for the battles ahead.

Try not to quit....there is one technique that i tried.... just one drink and go home...that shit is even harder than to quit..... and I learned that I can do it.... one beer with my friends on Friday and And I go home. Rule is just one drink. When you want other drink. It the part where you learn how to discipline your self. It the part where you find yourself as a disciplined person. And you are what you do. And you don't take second drink becouse you said so. You are disciplined person. And it goes in every aspect of your life. And you will lear how to enjoy life without abusing it. Answer is in dose.....they say ....too much of a good thing is bad.... so dose right of life's gifts Try with everything that you abuse. Open bag of cheetos take one. And leave the bag where you can see it. But don't eat more than one per day. Same with cigarettes. Etc. This is dopamine circuit. That rules your mind. You have to knowledge that, wait out until that circuit is change. That To have something one is enough. And you will be in control. If on free time you wanna get hameed with booze. Before that. Leave your phone wallet everything at home. Have some change for bus ticket. Go with bus 12-15km from your home and walk back to your home. If you will still have the urge to drink. Buy other one bus ticket. Until urge is no more. And you go to sleep.

[@wordsoffire2416]

Update may 25th. 2 weeks sober. @Triggered by everything What good is drinking only 1 beer? It's better to not drink at all. I get what your saying but staying completely sober is the way to go.

[@YakAngling]

I've battled drinking from the age of 25 to 45 because I found myself living for the weekends and not happy with my choice of work carrier. I would drink through the week to cope with life and binge drink with friends on weekends when possible. At 45 I emotionally knew I was failing in life by my choices and actions from alcohol. At 47 I found my passion for the outdoors to be more true to myself and started a tube channel for fishing and camping. I am happy to say I found myself before loosing everything I had embracing me like my wife and kids to true friends that were not abusers. I can stay sober for weeks now and choose when and how much I want to drink if I choose to with friends. Life really begins when you understand!

[@GregoryPLoomis]

2 yrs sober. Last drink was Christmas 2020. I am a musician. I loved having my wine and cigarettes while composing late nights at my baby grand. But the next day would be horrendous. The “Hangxiety” I noticed in my late 20s early 30s, my body couldn’t metabolize the alcohol as quickly as it could in my youth. So I would be foggy and dizzy with a massive sugar crash and heart palpitations for almost 2 days. Bed ridden. Eating shit food. Laying there doing nothing. No piano for 2 days. Wasting away. Listen to your body. It’s telling you to stop. Self awareness is the best drug you can have. It’s really not that hard. Just know that laying in bed and staring at your phone the days your hung over, is what you get for drinking. So make the choice today. Stay strong 🙏

I’m 65 now, and regret drinking from 16 to 46. Alcohol robbed me of a lot of my intelligence and my ability to be a good spokesman and debater. Also robbed me of my libido.

I’m 54 days sober and been a pretty hard drinker for 15 years. The hardest part for me right now is being around family, friends, others that drink and find it odd that I don’t. I found it to be that easy escape from my problems/stressors in life. It was an easy escape from reality… During my sobriety I have been going to the gym, sleeping better, eating healthier, have more money, and am having a better outlook in life! At this point I really don’t miss it because feeling the way I do now outweighs the negatives from drinking big time!

Crazy it may seem. I left my wife and then finalized divorce. There family was rich and all about bad habits and everything was around drinking and cigars.

Knowing that I was also going to be a Dad really gave me the motivation I needed along with my families support, to get sober once and for all! My life has changed in so many positive ways since. I think in life you get back what you put in to it (most of the time). And doing the right thing DEFINITELY pays off!

Three years sober this week. For me it was the harsh reality that alcohol is poison that only works because it makes our brains malfunction. I'm in my 50s and don't need any help in making my brain malfunction. The years since I quit drinking have been the best years of my life. I'm simply better at everything--better husband, better father, better brother, better friend, better follower of Christ, more energy, more focus, more ambition, clearer goals. Perhaps most of all, I stopped lying to myself and making excuses that everyone in my life could see through. I don't miss alcohol one tiny bit. I don't want it. I don't think about it. It's difficult to even remember why it was my top priority and dominated so many years of my life.

I love being sober. My kids and I are closer and work out together. Thankfully they’re 8 and 5 and I have even more time to make an incredible impression for sobriety with them. It took me going to jail once and having our family end. And the saddest part was. I was sober when I went to jail. My ex-wife had mental illness and lied to the police. Regardless. I’m sober. And grateful. If you need help to get sober. I am here.

I traded that drink for everything else that matters, no longer a slave to the shit that did it’s best to kill me, wish everyone the best who’s dealing with this shit, if I can get sober, you can to, believe me

I quit in 2019 for six months because I was focused on training my Muay Thai, and after realizing not a single soul at my damn gym drank, and my coach straight up telling me, "you mean to tell me you train for hours then go home and crack open a beer? What the fuck is wrong with you?" It was the push I needed. I immediately dropped 33 pounds, was lean as hell and training heavily six days a week plus running every morning. I was dedicated and focused on competing in my martial arts that year. Then, like a ton of bricks, I lost my job, the pandemic blindsided me and my coach got fired from my gym all in a matter of weeks. The rug quite literally got swept out from under my feet. I spiraled out of control. I went and bought a bottle of my favorite whiskey and I didn't put that bottle down. I still haven't put it down. A few days ago I drank myself into a stupor. I woke up the next morning feeling like shit and I realized fuck this... I don't need this. This substance is no longer serving me. I don't know if I'll ever have the strength to quit completely as I literally can't do anything socially without alcohol, but I am back in training after all these years and I vow to myself that I will substantially cut back on the drinking. Maybe just do it socially. I want this. I want to compete in my martial arts. I don't want to throw that dream away. I want to be lean and fit, focused, determined, head strong like I was in 2019. I want to become version 2.0 of myself. I want that like I want air in my lungs. I can do this. Alcohol will no longer have its vice grip on my life. I will find myself once again.

My prayers for you will be that you will win your battle with God's grace. Don't waste the wonderful life the Sober-You can have if you want it! Don't ruin a marriage and make a young woman into a bitter old housekeeper. You won't even know that you abuse and disparage her to the point of her wishing for her own death. Drinking is unnecessary, drinking ruins your brain, drinking hurts your wife more than your betraying her by keeping a mistress could. God is available like a guiding pillar of fire to strengthen you --- talk to Him. He will bless you when you ask.

Quit drinking in June and it’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I wasn’t an alcoholic, probably drank 6-10 drinks in a week. Have a good job, good relationships, all the signs of a thriving citizen but it had been to the point for a long time that everything centered around it so on my 39th I gave it up. I have so much more time in the day, sleep great every night, no more arguments about really stupid shit with people I care about, I’m more in control of my overall temperament, more patience, better workouts, etc. The only regret I have is that I didn’t do it sooner.

Remain humble and if you are hungry, angry, lonely, or tired, be vigilant in ways to not give in to the temptation. Don't focus on the time, focus on the day and one day at a time.

Sometimes he'd let me have a sip and then half a glass, then a bottle. All between to he ages of say 5 and 15. I'm 55 now. I'll have an occasional beer or shot of good whiskey.
