Welcome back, good job dropping that literal goydissolvent.

Just wanted to say great work. Quitting ethanol is not easy, especially if you've been at it for a while.

It's dumb that a potent solvent that's enjoyable to drink is a cultural norm, but it's easy to make and we've been fucking ourselves up with this stuff for a very, very long time. Monkeys get wasted off of ethanol in rotten fruit, even.

It shouldn't ever enter your body. I use ethanol as a solvent, ethanol is in hand sanitizers... because it is is the active ingredient. Not good to drink it.

I'm glad you beat your addiction, but don't be fooled into thinking that you can have a drink after a period of sobriety. Some recovering alcoholics who developed it later can beat their addiction (I did) and have some without going hog wild; but most can't because they are lifetime alcoholics. In their case, it's a genetic thing.

Of course the first thing the jews did when they arrived in the new American colonies was to set up the liquor business along with the African slave trade.

Enjoyed reading that. Thanks!

Glad you succeeded, great job fren. I quit drinking a few years ago after drinking every night, sometimes midday as well, and it’s the best decision I’ve made for myself. The only downside is that I’ve learned that nearly every single mainstream belief is the literal opposite of objective truth.

That's when I started drinking .

Woo-hoo! Good work.

I quit drinking after, well.... too many years of boozing. I never let it get that out of hand, therefore I was always able to rationalize it. But no more.

Its been about a year now and I am so happy I did it. I did go cold turkey. I did not have serious withdrawal, but I did learn that what I thought was my “emotional dependence”, was in fact a physical one. After about six or eight weeks I just stopped missing it. I dont mean I never miss it. But its pretty minimal.

I am surprised at how easy it was. I should have done it 20 years ago but I didn’t have the proper attitude towards it: that it just robs joy from your sober life to give you that high.

Drinking is such a scam. I was tired of giving my money to some corporation for the privilege of fucking my life up. Plus Im an ass when I drink. I mean worse than my usual, which, those of you who know me....

Well anyway. Keep it up and congratulations.

I was that way too. Just add alcohol, bad to worse.

Every time I drink now I just get annoying and angry about all the things wrong in my life. I almost never get that good buzz feeling anymore. Now I only drink for the flavor.

[–] Helena73 ago 

The last few years I felt like I couldn’t even get drunk anymore. I mean I could get technically drunk. But I wasn’t able to really feel the pleasure of it. It was like I was out of joy. I was just doing it for that stress relief I got downing that first beer.

Thing is, the stress went away when I stopped drinking.

Ask yourself if that flavor isn’t the dopamine hit your brain gives you when you give it what it wants. I had a similar experience with quitting cigarettes. The shit doesn’t taste good unless you have an addiction to it.

Good job man. And welcome back to the gym. Weight lifting and general exercise is one of my great joys in life... It's a natural antidepressant.

Good to see you’re doing better

I started drinking and then though Joe Biden made a lot of sense and won me over with his platform of orange man bad, and nearly sealed the deal when he played 'Despacito' on his cell phone, really showed he connected with the Hispanic vote. I promptly vowed to never drink again.
