Haven't touched the shit for almost a year...

Over two years for me.
Sure sounds good right now. But I won't - I know how it ends. |
|
Major problem quitting before, I assume?
If so just remember you won’t be as able to take care of shit, if shit goes south. |

Booze costs supplies that are a negative on actual food storage levels, FTI.

I'm not going to, just wondering if anyone is having the same thoughts.
|
|
I've not had a drink in 26 years... I've had some cravings lately but nothing virus related... work related shit...

I've thought about it. Not going to do it though.
Those times while financially prosperous for me, were hell on earth. I'll never go back to it. |

no hasn’t crossed my mind but then again it’s been 20 years since I quit.
don’t cave since you’ll be back on the road to ruin |

Don't be tempted. Try replacing it with prayer, instead.
Stay strong and hang in there, OP. We're all in this together. |
|
I'll be honest, I have. It was 2 years in October for me. Mostly just stress causing it right now.

Its not the booze you're wanting. Its the disconnection between reality and your thoughts you want. Lots of ways to flip that switch without the alcohol. Exercise, meditation, maybe just calling a bud.
Three years and counting here. Stay the course. I've never regretted waking up clear-headed |

Don’t do it. Temptation is always there but get busy with something else

I have had a rough run lately....my thinking leads to me wanting a drink.

If you 'quit' and you're making posts about thinking about having a drink, it indicates something is there..
Don't do it. Stay sober. |
|
These are really stressful times. Worried about the virus,finances the future is uncertain. I don’t drink but I can see why some would. I lean on my faith and remind myself of the good things I still have. Stay strong gentlemen.

The only reason I would drink again is if added a few inches to my dick. Even if it worked, at my age it would be wasted anyway. So fuck it, I plan to stay sober. db

It will be 2 years in August for me without drinking. One is too many 100 is not enough! It all starts with that first drink! Hang tough and don’t be afraid to reach out to some of your friends.

Got 99 problems. Thank God Alcohol ain't one anymore. Stay strong fella's

Quoted: Haven't touched the shit for almost a year... View Quote Nope. I did sit on the deck and have a cigar though. |

July will be 2 yrs. Dealing with My moms estate ( she passed Christmas day) and Kung Flu, yes. I was thinking, damn, I would normally be drinking mass quantities by now.
Not gonna doeet! Wouldn't be prudent |
|
been dry since November , I think at times about going to grab a six pack on a Saturday but always talk myself out of ending the good streak
|
|
Quoted: Same here. Financial stress, and my wife is a nurse. Quite the load right now. View Quote Exercise is a much better stress therapy. If anything, have a drink to celebrate the good things when they happen, and know your limits. If you're a recovering alcoholic, of course, stay the hell away from it. |
|
I quit drinking at 9pm last night. Enjoying a beer right now.
|
|
Yeah don’t do it.
I think we are going to see a lot of drinking related issues during and after this. I have one friend (he was already having problems) who Imdon’t think has been sober in over a week. |
|
I haven’t been thinking about it; I have been doing about it. I am going to stop drinking because when I drink I seriously think about getting a job.

|
Alcohol will weaken you immune system, mate. Say no and stay healthy!
|
|
Nope. 15 months quit- ain't starting again because of the beer bug.
|
|
That shit will kill ya, OP. Just grab some home brew meth or maybe some cocaine.
|
|
Three months sober today actually. Enjoying a coffee Edited to remove the accidental quote |
|
|
I stopped drinking wine a few weeks back. All because I sleep like absolute shite after just one glass. I do miss sipping on a nice red .
