Quitting Drinking Was The Best Thing To Happen To Him - Dakota Servold

[@ashleybrown4754]

Two years off that vile shit myself. Some people can moderate it. Some can't. Life's too short to make it shorter.

Coming up on 9 months sober. I fell too far down the hole, luckily I had help to get back out. Some people can handle moderation, some not so much. Happiest I've been since I was young. Cheers!

6 months sober from alcohol and all drugs after 20 years of alcoholism and addiction. I don’t just have my old life back; I have a greater life than ever before.

Coming in at 2.5 yrs clean over here - life has absolutely never been better! Feel better now at 36 than I felt at 16! (When the drinking started) All the best dude

[@guilhermecruz]

I know how it is. Since I stopped drinking, all my plans and projects that used to be always left behind, just get DONE. Wish I had quit earlier but better late than never.

I'm 426 days sober. Quitting drinking has been hard, but the pros outweigh the cons for sure.

[@bradfoster8146]

I quit drinking for from 2013-2018, because I genuinely had a problem. I drank just about every day. In the past 2 years I started drinking occasionally, never letting myself get drunk. I feel good to have control over myself, and if I don't want it. I don't drink it. Took a lot of work, and not everyone can so that. Anyone dealing with alcoholism or addiction, I hope you find your way.

[@victork8674]

Good to hear that! God bless

[@rickysaldana9853]

ive been sober for 4 years now and not that im tempted but i always have wondered how i would do if i started drinking in moderation. im too scared to try it so i havent but its cool to hear a story like yours where you got sober and learned moderation....

are you still using moderation or has your drinking increased again? just curious, everytime i go back to drinking it goes back to being a problem for me.

I quit for 2 years then had 2 beers the other night, tasted good but made me feel like shit, once ur off it u realise how different it makes u feel when it’s back in ur system, back to water for me

[@derekbrown6604]

I quit for 6 months then I had a drink and you're absolutely right. It tasted amazing with the warmth and everything but I couldn't remember the song I was listening to and I really felt awful the next day. Not hungover just like unmotivated. I couldn't get the smell off me too for a while. I realized I miss the taste and the early feelings of intoxication but after that short feeling it's just a downer.

Shit just inspired me to skate more and quit drinking, I got a full 9 to 5 always look forwards to the weekend to skate but end up drinking instead at 19, gotta switch it up

The thing i hate the most about drinking is how much time it sucks up

[@scottwilson8978]

Did you end up skating more?

[@realcapers]

Just drink for special occasions. No need to be 100 percent sober. If you have a problem and cant moderate. Quit and get help if you need it...If you can be responsible, there is nothing wrong with drinking to celebrate a special occasion.

[@patski7105]

ur only 19 man keep drinking and sober up at 23 like i did

"Things that are special take time" So damn true bro , dont give up on yours passions

[@NoxiousPond]

I used to skate when I was around 12-14 and stopped for over 20 years. I was drinking nearly every single day from around 20-34 until I had a health scare and had to quit. I recently started skating again and never want to stop. My body feels like im in my twenties again and im about to be 35. Alcohol sucks. Its insane how much better shape my body is in now. I skate every day I can. I suck for now but I'm slowly getting better.

[@basslandpdx]

I love having couple of good craft beers so much that I don't want to abuse it. I cherish it so much. When I open the beer I know is my time to realx and it puts me into chill mood right away. I stop being nervous,I stop worrying so much,I stop over-thinking shit. On other hand I hate going out and getting drunk. You run into trouble,your head hurts the next day ...is just not a good life choice. But buy yourself two nice beers,drink them slowly,turn something interesting to watch and you will have a lovely evening. Helps with sleep also.

I only drink on the weekends, am I an alcoholic?

The problem is when you have one drink and then have the urge to drink more and more until you black out. That's when you know you're an alcoholic. It really doesn't matter if you only do it on the weekends.

[@chrismiramontes3379]

Harry Manback nah I don’t always want to black out, BUT sometimes I do feel like blacking our

Yes you're an alcoholic. I'm not judging, I'm one too.

You’re an alcoholic if: 1) once you start drinking, you can’t control how much goes in you. 2) you have tried to quit or stop drinking and cannot stay stopped.

[@chosen037]

Next Best Thing RC I think some are just the addictive personality types.. that and no discipline

[@satchelyork]

Some are more genetically predisposed to addiction, it's been proven to have a genetic link and also the substances themselves are designed to be addictive (tho really anything that lights up the pleasure center in your brain can do it) also some use substances to numb themselves from pain tho most addicts will use whether sad or celebratory. We are chasing a buzz, really a spiritual buzz or improvement in spirit or body feeling

[@KrazyKeaz]

Alcoholism Genetics. Brain chemistry, Tolorance, allergy to alcohol. Some can drink nice craft beer and be fine, some need bottle & can't put it down once it's in.
