Can't imagine how you felt everyday doing that, OP. I'm a weekend drinker that probably consumes around 12-15 beers and 4-5 mixed drinks each of the 2 days and I feel like sht Sun/Mon

Congrats OP! Did you go to Rehab? I know a few who struggle with alcohol baaaaaaaaaad. I never had much sympathy for them until i actually spent time with them and listened to their story. Then i felt so god damned terrible for ever thinking the way i did. Met a real cool guy (funniest guy ive ever met) that had drank so much that he had destroyed his motor system and could barely pour the liquid into his vape without spilling it. You ever had any seizures trying to detox?

Nice Bob.

Seen a few too many m8s disappear down that hole so it’s good to hear of someone making it.

Quitting booze was the best decision I ever made. I wasn't remotely close to being an alcoholic, but it's amazing how much better I feel being 100% sober.

Good for you Bobby. Just make sure you don't fall off that wagon.

I've heard some bad stories ad I think booze is one of them that you can die from if you have that type of dependency for it. It was weird to stop since I'm the social, goofy fuk and wondered if that would change...it did. I didn't have anything I noticed like shaking or whatever...the issue popped in when I had something go wrong with a door at my house that I had to replace and I was stressing because the house was wide open. On the trip to Home Depot I stopped at the grocery store and had my hand on a 12-pack and decided against it. It's the ritual and routine of it.

Funny you mentioned puzzles...my girl and I do them like crazy now. I go to the gym twice a day so that soaks up time as well.

For sure. I know a guy with 6 OWI's, spent time in prison and he can have no license for 15 years. He is a strange guy now...it fuked his life.

Benzos and alcohol are the withdrawals that can kill you. Glad to hear that you've confronted your demons and are winning OP!

Really really great. Keep fighting and never give in to temptation.
I can tell you from experience that alcohol abuse will destoru not only yourself, but also your relationship to your wife (or future wife if you're not married) and your kids. Srs.

I hope you've quit for good.

Legend, I stopped drinking a couple of years ago and life through sober eyes is so biuriful. There's so much to do besides drinking. Go hiking, drive an hour to a small coffee shop to get a cup, enjoy the beach, go climbing, stroll around the city just for lulz, visit the animal parks or sightseeing places in your city that you've never been to before, enjoy a good meal at the local pub etc...

Congrats. Never would have guessed OP had an issue with alcohol. Keep it up, its bad stuff. I like my drinks too much as well but I don't think it affects my life too much.
