Sober

Everlastingxxx · Mar 18, 2015

Every fucked up event in my life has always revolved around booze. Gave it up forever. I like watching those intervention shows and if people that messed up can be sober i can also. I just over-do it, im not a good moderation drinker.

Congrats. Drinking is overrated.

Those intervention shows are fucked up.

I drink socially but I don't keep alcohol in the house. Never developed a taste for it. I quit diet and reg soda three years ago. that was my main vice.

Stopped wearing your hat backwards too, didn't you.

I'm well known to pop a Shiner Bock or two or three and make no bones about it. Never had any problems or issues. I drink light.

But really, I do know how serious this is because I've had several friends find success in AA. One day at a time Triple X.

I drink two, 2 liter bottles of Coke a day to go with my two packs of Vantage cigarettes. Life is good.

I'm drinking right now. Happy zombie Jesus day! If you don't sin, Jesus died for nothing.

When I was married we'd invariably see my in laws at some point during the day and they'd always during greetings say "He has risen!" To which I was supposed to reply "He has risen indeed!" But I never would because it's dumb. So there'd always be an awkward silence followed by me saying "uh huh" or something instead.

Good job xxx. Sounds like you are making a solid choice. I quit when I found myself living in a halfway house broke and broken at 23.

20 years later, I can honestly say it saved my life. Got tired of constant chaos followed by disappointment. It gets old.

I'm no saint and I still screw things up, but not in a way that is completely destructive to myself and those around me.

Wow, sounds like you hit rock bottom at a young age. Good to hear you were able to turn your life around!

I went 17 days sober, then i was feeling fucking miserable. Its like without booze you have to face your issues. I ended up having 4 beers. I was good for another week till this past weekend, the wife had wine in the house. I had a few small glasses, i didnt binge. Still, id rather just cut it off completely, i dont feel i need it. Its hard when there is booze in the house and the wife is putting guilt trips on me for making her abstain from it.

JBond · Apr 6, 2015

Does the wife have issues with your drinking or is this something you are trying for yourself?

Generally speaking if a person believes they may have an issue, they do.

When I drank my decision making ability sucked. Has it become a recent issue or a continuous one? Feel free to pm me.
