I've Given Up Drinking....Yeah!!! (18)
Leana76Prescott Valley, Arizona USA39 Threads 918 PostsI'm so proud of myself. Last week I went out and didn't drink at all! I'm so happy. I can go out and not have to drink to have fun. That's awesome. Now my dates will probably get better, who knows.

go girl!! 
I havn't had a drink for 17 months and enjoy my life to the full! if a person feels the need to take a mind-altering substance each time they wish to have fun then maybe they have an issue that needs to be looked at!
it's awesome news hun!

Thanks everyone. I just didn't know how to quit or know how to say "no" when I only have one.
I know now, that I do have a problem. I had always wound up being too inebriated or just can't remember how the date ended and such. So, I said, "No more, Leana!!! THAT'S IT!!!". Now I know that it just isn't my date that went back or they weren't my type...it was me after all.
So, last week I tested myself and went out. I didn't order no alcoholic beverage whatsoever!! I'm so proud of that. I actually ordered at Ginger Ale and was just fine. I still had fun, remembered the entire evening, and the bartender was actually proud of me too. She knew me and I've been to her bar before. She saw a complete person in me, she said. Wow!! How amazing!!

Leana, 
You deserve it!
Now if you get tempted to take a drink, just think of how you will disappoint 100's of people from all over the world on this site who are soooo proud of you right now.
My ex was a drinker and because she refused to quit, she lost a decent hard working loyal husband and the respect of her children. So you see, there is a lot at stake.

Seriously now...
if you've quit it means you HAD a problem, so now you don't have one any more...good!
I've got one: chocoate. I know I've got a mild problem there.

Well, I went out again, last week and it was great. I remembered the entire evening, didn't get sick, and actually danced better too. I didn't drink again.
All I have to think about is the feeling of being sick, people talking about me at the bar, and the bartender getting ready to cut me off is all it takes for me to not drink. I just have to think about those things and I won't drink. I think that's good therapy, huh? Using a "focal points method" or something like that. Stay focused.
It's getting so much better for me to have fun.

Hell, even the bartenders like talking to me now!!
I went to a bar in downtown Prescott and this female bartender was talking to me like she wanted to be my best friend! That has never happened when I dranked. She even told me that she doesn't either and likes being a bartender, because she can still have fun while serving drinks.
I noticed that a lot. There's a lot of them (bartenders) who don't drink and I like that too. It makes me feel real good inside.
