Sobering up from a few things I indulged in too much. Feels good to realize the negative effects and make the changes necessary to get your happiness and self back. Good job OP

That's nice not sure why you felt the need to brag about being a normal person, I mean you likely went 20+ years without so going 3 months is nothing to celebrate.

Depending on what you drink, a few BB'ers who step on stage will drink it as their liquids as it dries you the fuk out.

Beer on the other hand will bloat ya like an elephant.

I’ll addess the other comments ad I’m slightly tied up but sharing this stuff I find helps me and helps others...but I like that you called it bragging as if I haven’t considered suicide or other awful chit.

20+ years is because you can’t drink...I started at 22 with few breaks in 16 years so yeah it’s s big deal.

Congrats dude. Any tips? I can never seem to make it past a couple weeks. I get in a situation where drinking is involved and get weak. I do have friends who were able to quit drinking but always have other vices they fall back on.

Yes, the biggest thing is I am now eating my calories instead of drinking them so I feel the recovery is far better. I use my IG to kind of track it and there have been great improvements.

That's great man! What are some of the things you noticed after the first couple of weeks, 30 days and 2 months after not drinking? What is the most positive results you have seen this far?

Be happy while you're living, for you're a long time dead.

Congrats. I was an alchy for a couple years and I quit pretty easily by just smoking a chit ton of green, probably better for me. Now I don't even have a huge desire to drink a lot when I go out if at all I'd rather just get a little buzzed and talk to people

This is a pretty ******* post man. I'd expect this from a 2018 red.

I don't drink, and I find it very easy to not drink, but there are people who struggle mentally and resort to recreational drugs/drinking to cope, and can get to the point of killing themselves due to depression and alcoholism. When it gets this severe it isn't something that you can just "turn off".

I know people who suffered from these things and it's very hard to watch, he should be proud for having 3 clean months. People who are trying to stay clean also need strong support groups because it's very difficult doing it alone.
