Didn't tell anyone I was going to stop drinking because I wasn't sure I could. Been two weekends. I'm not an everyday drinker but I am certainly a weekend beer Binger. I didn't think there was a problem. I was informed that it was. I looked at my weekend angry post from here and confirmed. It wasn't hard to stop, I just feel like I'm missing something. Kinda like when I quit smoking. Anyway, thought I'd share.

I filled my time I would've spent smoking with reading and exercising, replacing my old habit with a new productive one. I never had a drinking problem per se, but knowing I can't play guitar or do anything worth a shit once I drink is a good incentive not to.

Congratulations and keep up the good work.

I didnt read your other post but, just because you wouldn't have said something while sober doesn't make it any less true. Alcohol doesn't make you say stuff, it just makes you think it's OK to say it.

I got over that a long time ago. Being sober doesn't stop me from saying anything I feel like saying. Being loaded doesn't matter.

Jews are a bunch of satanic baby eating monsters and Hitler was right about them.

See?

It's much easier to quit now than it would be later. Good job getting that bullshit out of your life.

Fill that drunk time with some sort of physical activity or learning activity and you will start to crave those.

At least now you're not giving your money to coprorate overlords who hate you.

Congrats

You'll likely be tested 4-6 weeks after quitting. I remember quitting smoking and everything was fine until 4 weeks in and I just had an unexpected urge to buy a pack of smokes and light one up. If you can past that, then you should be fine.

Wait, I've never smoked as a habit and I have the urge to grab a pack every couple of months. (It's usually just a passing thing, and my wife has a much harder time putting them down, so I don't. If I buy a pack, she'll smoke 3/4 of it, and then it will be a few weeks of her quitting again. Thankfully I don't binge the booze much anymore, which often brought a pack along with it, especially if there was a machine at the bar.)

Good job. I’m a little over 4 years. I was a daily drinker, and heavy at that. Start going for walks. Do some kind of activity. But, get moving always helps. Drink more water. Eat some sweets when you’re really struggling. Alcohol converts to sugar in your body, so it’s a sugar craving not so much an alcohol craving.

That’s awesome! Keep it going.
