40 days as of today............Stupidest thing Ive ever done. I feel worse.

At least when I was drinking I was eating good food. I quit and started eating [censored] food. I guess I was missing the sugar.

Tomorrow its wine time.

A little cupa tea for me.

I would think that most people that have the desire to quit drinking would have a longer range goal and a more important goal than "feeling better" after just 40 days. None of my business, of course, but since you posted it, I assume you want some type of replies.

I quit drinking 6 years ago because I didn't like waking up the next day feeling bad because I wanted to feel good the night before and it messed with the drugs I take, Sooooooooo.

I know right, it reminds me of people that find a forum on the internet, then a sub off topic forum after they create a login, then after they find that section, they find the other section, and even crazier they go even further to comment on the fact the original person posting probably posted because he wanted replies. But the craziest part is g u e s s w h o r e p l i e d

your screen name reminds of married chicks at a wedding. free range, sounds like something i mumble when i walked in a bar at college

DJ Screams out "hey guys TAKE WHAT YOU CAN and then the lights FADE TO BLACK."

No matter what tho man, its never free. Ever

oh, almost forget, just for the record, I went almost 17 years without a drink, slipped up for a second

and sometimes you just gotta.................stealtherest

What was the reason you quit drinking? Just curious because we all have our reasons and most of the time it's a damn good one. The flip side is we can come up with a thousand very convincing reasons to go back to drinking and ignore the reason we quit. Been over 6 years for me and I'll never forget the reason I quit, I was going through a 1/2 gallon of whisky every 3 days. I was going to die! When a body has been running on alcohol for years don't expect it effects or attraction to just go away immediately. That's the reason most rehab facilities programs run 45 to 60 days, some longer depending on the individual, the body and the mind have to adjust. Most even have what is called a Sober Living program once rehab is completed and all have hot line when a person if having a problem. Were it me I'd adjust my diet, that's far easier than what you've accomplished so far, think about the reason you quit.

Nobody likes a quitter.................

No the truth is nobody likes the alcoholic/drunk who somehow manages to destroy themselves and most everything around them in the process, all the time thinking they don't have a problem. Ask a Peace officer how many domestic's they respond to that are alcohol related, ask a judge how many divorces are alcohol related. Close to 9 percent of the US population has an addiction to drugs or alcohol according to the National Institute on Drug abuse. You can easily double that number (possibly triple) because that's based on those who've sought treatment, the majority go to their grave before they're willing to seek help and many put somebody else in the grave before they get there. Some people can drink, some people can't, for you post a pic over a table of beer mocking those with an alcohol problem is telling. I've done the same thing.

He who laughs last.................

Hell I thought that was Hunter Biden at first, still not sure.

HWY no real reason......Probably 4 years ago I gave up dope.....then 2-3 years ago I quit the tobacco. Quitting was a process with me. I actually had to practice quitting a few times before it stuck

Now I'm doing the same with alcohol. I drank a few glasses of wine after those 40 days and then back on the wagon the next day. I may stay quit or not.

This time off the vino I have been flooding my system with water and green veggies and garlic and onion. Healthy food and few carbs so my carb brain fog has lifted.

All this may be for nothing and I'm dead in 2-6 months

PS...........quitting Copenhagen was the worst to quit......way harder than the Horse. way harder.

PS................I know how you live RedRanger and think the pics rock.

Hang in there!

Sounds like youre doing good.

I quit drinking and Copenhagen the same week. I was an even bigger SOB than usual for three weeks. It's been 13 years. I don't miss drinking, I DO miss Copenhagen. It's an uphill battle, but it can be overcome.

I said this once before...why are your nipples so low? It's freaky!

Don't come in here talking like that.

Congratulations TSU.

Little creepy a male is worried about my nipples

I can say one thing for you. You are not a quitter.

That nip will haunt my dreams. It has the same shoulder-to-nip ratio as my grandmother.

👍👍

Keep it up, it will get easier, one day at a time😉

Think like The Little Train That Could. Keep repeating I think I can, then I know I can.

if you are going to be dreaming about RR and his nip, that cannot be your only issue

Keep at it, you’ll feel better. I too quit 13 yrs ago because I was drinking way too much and taking too many chances. Waking up wondering how I got home wasn’t for me. To each his own, but for me the answer was simple but took some work.

x2

I will try to post a pic of my at the poll this year shirtless

Please spare up.

May 2nd will be 6 years for me

1996 was the last one for me . I was either 100mph or nothing so I had to chose nothing.

Same here, things were not gonna get any better if I kept it up.

Congrats, when I was drinking I was single, after I quit I managed to convince a girl to marry me and make a family. Since then for me it’s been easier knowing I don’t wanna let them down. Take it a day at a time or minute whatever works and keep at it. I’ve replaced drinking with hunting and ice cream need to cut back on the ice cream.

Well if it’s hunting or ice cream as my only two choices it’s going to be tough. I say love them both !

My thoughts also, believe I'll shy away from him.

Quitting cigarettes' was the hardest for me. I've always drank a little here and there, like 5 drinks spread out over a year or something, so no need to quit that. I know it's tough with the world the way it is today, not sure I could quite cigarettes' today if I had to. Stay strong man.
