Im going sober , who wanna join?

[Marco Zen]

Everyones tolerance is different don't get me wrong. But if I drink a pint or less. I would wake up feeling basically normal.

For normal people. Anything over 6 beers a night is excessive.

You're used to "hangovers". The feeling you have waking up after a pint is "normal" because you're used to that particular hangover feeling. Trust me I know that feeling. You probably don't even consider it a hangover.

Don't get me wrong im sober and I still wake up feeling like shyt some days but no where near as bad as I would feel if I drank a pint.

Been sober for the past 2 months.



Feel gooder than mothafukkin' ever.



The problem with alcohol (especially in high consumption sessions):



is that it not only weakens your immune system... but it also acts as a high stakes inflammatory operative.


I recall always having hemmeroids and muscle/joint paint in my forearm and hands/wrists...


After a health scare in mid october with my sphincter polyps swelling and stomach issues that i never got checked out... I decided to go vegetarian and eliminated alcohol from my diet (basically, anything rich and savory) for an entire week.



Not only did i shrink my polyps... but my stomach issues were eradicated.



Since then, i may have had a couple of casual/social drinks... but haven't binged consumed spirits since. And I can feel it in my body and see a difference in the waistline as well.



Alcohol is point. When you drink too much of it... it literally inflames your entire immune system and over time... mutates/reacts to your body and you start to develop health issues.







Prolly one of the better decisions i've made in my life in the past 10 years.






And you don't need a shovel... to dig that.

[WaveMolecules]

slept 5 hours last night after not sleeping the night before. My body was readjusting my circadian rhythm after my bender on saturday.

i was tempted by a homegirl to go out for some wine but i stayed in. wine is my vice. i was drinking 2 bottles a day, alone.

im going to be clocking in periodically with updates.

 

[raidersreceiver]

Didn't drink yesterday and don't feel like drinking today. Day 2. I'll probably just get home, smoke a bowl and pass out

 

[Weaver31]

11 years sober last month. Any questions or advice I can give I'm willing to answer.

Do u miss drinking? Do u ever get urges to turn up? How did u successfully stop drinking?

Tell us the stories.

Certain things were out of my leverage despite having the $$$ ( family losses)
I fell into a dark stage for a month and exercised a lot of bad judgement to numb the pain.

After contemplating committing that and completely losing it at my grandmothers funeral ...

I knew I had to re-calibrate and go in a more positive direction

I've been teetotal ever since and have cut off a lot of anchors in my life ...including western women

Just dropped this brazilian girl for a younger malaysian girl because she started to inconvenience me
and wanted me to drink with her

That's just the personal side, I dealt with an equal amount of tax/legal fukkery soon afterward. Pretty sure if I took one sip of that lovely dark nectar , I wouldn't even be in this thread.

Wassup with you ? Are you going sober breh ?

Breh your body doesnt even want the alcohol in it at all

I'm out in Panama for ten days to check some family. I was smoking near addict levels before I left and I can't find no loud so this should be what I needed.

I'm mainly concerned about replacing the lifestyle though. Smoking one (two) with my broski and just soaking up game from him can't be replaced

 

[Arithmetic]

Yep




yeah i get the pint when i get off....sometimes take a couple shots a hour before work. Vodka isn't like Cognac where it gives off a super strong smell


im a functiional alcoholic but it was getting to the point of me being non functional... calling off work, forgetting shyt i'd done, arguing with wife for no reason, etc...

You should really do everything in your power to quit. It's going to take resilience and real life changing decisions.

Not looking to go sober. I could cut back a bit though. I don't drink often, but when I do, the volume in a single sitting is much though. Other than that, not too much of a problem.

You just have some dope experiences from your post. Real recognize real.

Even though I'm not drinking as much as I used to back in Uni, I'm going to make a conscientious effort to NOT drink for as long as I can and see how that goes.

My drinks are normally two beers or so when I smoke weed on the weekends, but if I can cut that out, I'd be good short of parties and gatherings; both of which I'm not fukking with until I'm completely out of debt.

Gonna check in after new years and see how that goes. Best of luck to ya all struggling, abstaining and striving in here.
