Congrats brah!

I can't remember the last month of my life where I didn't have a drink. I don't think I have a problem but I'm overdue to give it a try.

Any tips? Or was it easy.

I replaced my addiction with phenibut. Then I weaned off of phenibut, which had waaaay worse withdrawal symptoms than alcohol. I beat it with working out so it was an easy transition. The social support from gf and her family also helped. You need friends.

That’s great! I’m sure you feel like a different person.
Be happy while you're living, for you're a long time dead.

I feel great. I'm a lot lighter, I don't have any acid reflux and the only worry on my mind is hunger.

Congrats dude. I just went 8 months, and recently cracked. Kinda pissed at myself but eh, weather was nice and just wanted to have one drink.

Over those 8 months I got in the best shape of my life, lost 40lbs, picked up some great hobbies and saved a **** ton of money. Definitely will only be drinking a couple times a year and trying my best to never get drunk or go back to the life I had.

**** alcohol

Great job. Do you think you will continue? I have had two drinks total since December, the last of which was in March. Biggest thing I noticed was the lack of brain fog, and just better mental clarity in general. Like I feel a bit sharper. Also less bloat, puffy cheeks, and clearer skin. I don't think I will completely abstain forever, but I have no motivation to get hammered ever again.

Sober month is ezpz. Not once did I even think about alcohol...I have become obsessed with losing weight.

I don't plan on being sober forever. See post 11.

I don't drink because of the calories. One beer will set me back an hour of walking.

Ain't no one got time for that.

No. The seizures last a day or two and that's it.

Just weather the storm bro.

Drink a fifth every day.

Don't think about alcohol 1 time in first month of quitting.




How many you think you can pick? Hint, not 2.

Thank you. I am here to let the world know that a comeback to fitness is not only possible but encouraged.

If you relapsed by drinking one or two beers don't be so hard on yourself. Binging is not allowed, ever, however.

If you check my blog queenmypawn.com you can see my progress.

I have proof in my bank records that I would buy a fifth every day. I am not making this stuff up mate.
