I’ve been sober for a year

I quit drinking sometime last January so I’ve actually been sober for a little over a year now. I didn’t want to quit drinking but Invega Sustenna was making me vomit sometimes when I would drink so I decided to quit drinking because of that and to spend my money on other things. I feel better now and I was able to lose a lot of weight from quitting drinking beer.

Thats cool

When you’ve been high or drunk every days for years you have to relearn how to live without substances.

Alcohol was never my vice. I can drink without it being a problem. I only drink a couple times a year.

When I quit doing drugs I felt completely lost in life. Getting high consumed my every waking moment from the time I woke up until the time I went to sleep.

When I quit I had to find a way to fill my time. I use video games as an escape and I also do a lot of fishing and hunting.

When i had a car and job i never drunk. These days i got nothing else to do. Today i haven’t drunk any alcohol. It seems my life is down the toilet. Sz ruined my life. I can’t get up anymore. Knock out. The last psychiatrists i ve seen tend to play a powergame i am not into, instead of helping.:sweat:

Congrats! Keep it up! I was never a daily drinker, but I did binge at parties when I was younger. I haven’t had a drink in about 17 years because I can’t mix alcohol with my meds. I do have the occasional non-alcoholic beer.

Just curious:

Do you have plans to never drink again for the rest of your life? Or is it a temporary thing cuz if the meds?

My problem is tabbaco and not alcohol. Someone told me the chances to become an alcoholic is 50%. Well, i won that gamble. I don’t get detoxsymptoms not drinking.

I’d like to drink again someday but I most likely won’t because I think I’ll be on Invega Sustenna for the rest of my life and I can’t drink on it.
