i gave up drinking at 23 because my life had become a total mess and completely un masnageable.I havnt had a drink now for 12 years a day at a time and i keep sober by doing a few simple things on a daily basis. all the best to anyone trying to stop and if at first you dont suceed keep trying.
Best Wishes

I might have a drink once in a blue moon but for the most part yes I have given it up.

The motivation to give up alcohol for me was simple.....hit by drunk driver not once but twice. Not to mention an ex that thought a golf club was a needed part of a drunken rant. he chose the club....I chose life without him.....and alcohol.

I didn't drink for ten years.. not because *I* had a problem.. (at all). but because of the people around me that did.


Nowadays they are both gone.. so I do whatever whenever I like.. its quite refreshing actually..

Sometimes I MIGHT have a glass hot mulled wine in the evening.. (in the winter)

In the summer my friends come around for lunch in the garden and we might drink some icey vodka and cranberry.

Sometimes my friends come here for dinner and we get ABSOLUTELY hammered playing my (glass) game of Tequila snakes and ladders (wearing tiaras) and playing truth or dare.

Sometimes I might fancy a honey and ginger Martini.. or an apple one.. or raspberry or a durrrty one (a la Sinatra) laugh

On a cold night by the fire SOMETIMES I put Baileys in my coffee.


and sometimes I don't have anything for MONTHS.

Just depends dunno
