I gave up alcohol 6 year’s ago haven’t touched it since . For numerous reasons. Anyone done the same? Think it’s good for my SZ health.

Gave it up in 2003 with the help of AA too, as I couldn’t do it on my own. Had a slip about 2.5 years ago, so I’m just 2.5 years sober now.

I enjoy craft beers. Wheat especially, Blue Moon is the mass market beer that I like with an orange slice in it. There’s a local tangerine wheat beer that I’ll stop for.
My daughter turned 21 this month, we shared our first brew together, she likes Angry Orchard because it tastes like apple cider. Has my taste for fruity brews.

Don’t drink or drug (except caffeine and nicotine from an ecig).
Am sure alcohol is fine for some people, as can drugs be I suppose. But I lost a decade to drugs and now I prefer sobriety above all else.
Horses for courses I think.

I’ve been clean and sober since 1990. My problem was actually an addiction to crack but I also drank fairly often with it.

I like Lagunitas power brews, but I’m thinking about letting go and going back to my naltrexone.
Just faded away for me, don’t like it anymore, not had a drink in years

I was a heavy drinker early on. My father doesn’t like me drinking, because I talk back to him and question things. Thankfully I don’t have to live with the guy, but when I’m around him I get really anxious and want to drink about 4 gallons of beer and try to cope. Guy sorta scarred me as a kid my sister and I used to be afraid of him. Geez just thinking about it, I sort of ran away from home and joined the army just to have 911 happen. Then after spending seven months in afghanistan got back home and drank even more than before.
Maybe I should just quit, I’m at my desk…and there’s ten different empty beer bottles at my left hand.
I’m also worried about my constant attendance on the site seeking advice instead of practicing and doing my work that I mean to do. I think that I’m becoming sedentary by just watching the forums and talking about things. Is it wrong?
Something you have to do for yourself, moderation in anything is good, I have some time off right now and working on other stuff on line, so just happen to be around for a few days

The only time I have a few beers and I mean no more than 3 beers is when I go to my sister’s. She always has a cooler iced down with beer for everybody when they visit…I don’t drink now unless Angela drinks with me and she doesn’t want to.

I haven’t drank since June 12th. It was the worst poison I ever consumed. People underestimate the toxicity of alcohol because it’s legal but it’s the worst drug I’ve ever successfully done. And I’ve done almost everything besides illegal stimulants and opiates.

I gave it up for September. Felt so much more alert but strangely unreal on reflection when I had a drink again. I will give it another go I think
Gave it up four years ago, crave it daily somtimes.
Can enjoy life without it now which is like a miracle.

I drink but wish i didnt. The trouble is I enjoy the taste and the drunk feeling.
I dont have much money so its a pain that I spend it on alcohol.
