I don’t drink anymore. Once I developed Sz alcohol and me didn’t mix well. That and I will drive after drinking. Now I don’t drink at all for over two years now. It’s awkward that most people I’m around will drink socially and I don’t.
Anyone else had to stop drinking due to Sz?
I had to stop drinking because of alcoholism. It’s been five years since I’ve drank.
I quit drinking because I can’t drink on my meds
Yeah, I quit alcohol and all drugs in 1990.
I had to stop. Paranoia.
Haven’t drank in a few years. Don’t miss it despite occasional cravings that I can get over in short time.
I’m a sober person.
When I go out socially, I make sure I have a drink in my hands. It could be ginger ale.
When people want me to drink, I say, “Not now, maybe later.” Which is true, of course. When people pressure me to drink, I say, “When I drink, I puke on your shoes.” That puts them on the defensive. When I finally say, “When I drink, I hit trees on the wrong side of the road,” they know I mean business.
Alcohol affects me badly
I’m an alcoholic and haven’t had a drink since 7/24/2021.
Never took to alcohol, I don’t like feeling drunk.
After my first hospitalization I recovered without medicine and met a girl. One night I drank to much and blacked out and really embarrassed myself. Highlights include threatening to end it all by jumping on the lake, vomiting everywhere, needing to be given a bath by three girls, and shouting like a madman. All of this was recounted to me and I remember nothing. Well almost nothing. That event precipitated a long period of instability. I never drank too often but have on and off over the years. I havent drank in 7 years and likely never again
I never drank. Alcoholism runs on my Dad’s side of the family and I didn’t want to be like that. 
I’m definitely a happy drunk.
I’m 2.5 years sober (minus one time)
I like drinking, it’s the marijuana that I can’t stand — makes me feel stupid
I miss drinking after getting off from work to ‘un wind’ but I switched to tea, milk and Oreos
I drank heavily for years, I’m happy to sober up 
I quit drinking just before the SZ hit - I’m a pretty severe alcholic and can’t touch the stuff meds or no. Sober for over 30 years.
I drink I get an instant hangover. If I drink incredibly slow I get a good feeling. I’m dually diagnosed with sza and addiction. I liked pot best and haven’t had it in 27 years this coming December. If I had to vote I’d say yes to legalization but if I use it I won’t last long.
I never really liked alcohol
I mean I consumed alcohol occasionally in my 20s and 30s but I was never a big drinker.
Today I don’t touch a drop of alcohol.
I don’t like the out of control feeling I would get when drinking alcohol.
I’m an alcoholic, and alcohol got me into a lot of trouble, as well as being very bad for my health. It has been over five years since I last drank.
i didnt drink until my 21st birthday
it was right when i lost control with my first episode
I started drinking and Marijuana for a couple years
i dont remember much of that time
it got out of control and i saw how my parents were F##### and i didnt want to become like them
so i stopped and only occassion do i drink
but i do eat cbd gummies to calm me down
That’s the way it is with me and alcohol. I’m 63, and I feel like I have a few things worth hanging around for.
Please make sure to keep this about being sober. So far, so good.
