have u given up alcohol? ( Archived) (37)

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

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-

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

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

Whats the big deal, Its so easy to give up drink and ciggys.

I give up both at least four times a week.

I became homocidal adn suicidal after a few years of drinking. Been sober almost 20 years (February). My kids have never seen me drink and probably never will.
Im a retired professional.....
