Mostly yes.

Realizing I don't control my emotions when drinking.

Mostly I have. I may have one or two drinks every six months or so. My brother ^ can attest to that

Yup I can.

I haven't had more then I think 6 beers in 6 weeks now

Nope I enjoy my drinks, but all things in moderation

well i have'nt had a drink in about 7 weeks, but i have never had a drink problem anyway. i like to drink in moderation because too much alcohol is bad for you.

This can be read into however one sees fit, but getting my life back provided some pretty stout motivation.

I hardly drink at all really. I don't in the week... I have to be on the ball the next morning, sooooo many meetings!! Plus I have to drive. I have the odd glass of wine at the weekend......

If it becomes a problem, I am sure half the battle is acknowledging there is a problem... then take any help that's available?

a promise to myself that i will not drink when my child is born.
i have had 6 stubbies of beer in 8 years,and i don't miss it one iota.

What has made me quit drinking,
I never started so there for I don't have to quit.

My doctor told me to quit drinking, smoking, having sex, and eating greasy foods...

It was the worst 20 minutes of my life!

Been drinking for over 30 years, so I ask you this, I quit every day and then start again, I have not been sick for over ten years, although sometimes I get some bad ice and it makes my stomach twitchy. I play almost scratch golf with a few drinks in my belly. So if you all have a problem drinking, don't do it. I enjoy impeccable health and that's my story and I'm sticking to it. I'm fortunate to live in a gated community where if I drink I can drive my golf cart home. It's not about getting drunk it's about being relaxed drinking at your leisure in moderation. It has health benefits, trust me but I may be the exception. No flu shots no colds, flu and I work among school children and for a large school district. People worry about using a phone that the students use and I have to maintain this stuff. I just do not get sick, is it the alcohol or my healthy lifestyle? you tell me Doc.

I'm 59 and I live a healthy lifestyle with my diet, exercise and of course drinking in moderation. You would not know I had a drink, trust me when I knock in a twenty foot putt for a birdie. Want to tee it up? Bring your wallet. I realize there are those that can not function with alcohol and those are the one's that shouldn't drink.

for some it is an allergy-

theres alot of good info available

if i dont know whats gonna happen after i have one
or i know it will lead to another and another-
pretty much everytime
i dont like that feeling...

when my life was unmanageable i began the work to stay quit
thats the kicker-not stopping but staying stopped
for many its not easy
but it is simple


best.

I love the sauce............Simple as that!


Booze is good for U............

The last time I drank was in 1987....gave it up no, just havent had the opportunities or the right company to have one...i love chardonnay.....

Couldn't have said it better;even if Id tried. lol

well that brudda is truly a compliment

same school i think
but lets not graduate

Nope

I used to drink, Heavily. Did you ever see that shirt that says "Instant Asshole, Just Add Alcohol"?? That was me. It is extremely rare for me to imbibe nowadays. And I cut myself off at 1.

I have given it up completely as I am terribly allergic; makes me break out in stupidity!
I have replaced alcohol with ice cream. Not quite the same buzz but gives me pleasure.


Hmmm it seems I may have replaced sex with ice cream too.
Oh my!
