I quit alcohol buddies

Bananatropics26

I quit alcohol. I don't drink anymore. It's no good at all. My lowest point was drinking everyday for 3 weeks vodka guiding me through the day. What a waste of an existence. Alcohol literally made me stupid and emotionally weak. I would get drunk and whine about things. Idc for alcohol. Alcohol is baddddd. You really know alcohol is bad when you try drinking hard everyday for at least 2 weeks. Once you do that you'll be always turned off from it in the future. Every time I drink now it reminds me of when I drank non stop for 3 weeks and I quickly lose interest and do something else or pour it away so I've stopped buying it because I just pour it away anyways when I do buy it lol. I smoke instead that helps me think and concentrate also coffee is good instead of alcohol. But they 3 weeks were sooooo bleak and dark. Alcohol truly is an ugly drug when you really get to know it properly. Beware folks alcohol ain't all it seems.

  • Congratulations for having the clarity and courage to achieve this, it’s a solid move many do not take (but recognise). Alcohol kills more people each year than all illegal drugs combined. Yet, you can easily buy it. I always thought that a strange system. 

    I do drink but I collect whisky and every Friday I’ll pour myself a 2 unit measure of my dram and sit back and savour it. That’s it. No more. For me, I never had any unhealthy connection or habit with it despite my mother being an alcoholic. Some people can manage like this, and it serves as a relaxing ritual, in the same way your smoking does. Arguably, your cigarette will kill you and is the single worst thing you could do for your health. But it sounds like this comes down to tolerance and relationship with each in your experience - you probably already know this. Are you planning on cutting out smoking too over time?
