sweetowen: I never wanna feel that way again!!


On June 13, 2000, I was just finishing my last binge drinking. I drank 3 cases of beer in 3 days. I had 2 beers left and put them on the counter and started to talk to them. I said," why am I doing this?"

I knew the next day (really, I had 3 day hangovers then) I would feel like death. So I took those 2 beers and poured them down the drain.

I have never looked back, never felt the need to drink. I have been to parties, bars, sporting events, everything where alcohol pours freely. I just sit back with my diet drink of choice and have as much fun as I did during my drinking days.

Please...noone congratulate me...I feel like it was something I had to do. Not drinking to me is like breathing.

I am not preaching, just sharing...hug

Nothing better than a fall ride in Michigan. It's nice here too, but you can ride all year round - less special.

Thanks but I believe I had to quit.

Maybe it's just me, but I feel like when people say "way to go" for stopping something that was destructive, and could have harmed others, it's like saying thank you for not robbing the bank today...laugh

I appreciate your sentiments CJ...hug
