This is why time makes it better. Soon enough, that stuff will be forgotten and replaced with so many more enjoyable, healthy activities that make you proud to be you. You will marvel at who you have become and wonder why you did not do it sooner.

Yup, that's too much for an everyday thing. I've been retired for over 4 years. In the last couple of years my beer consumption is up to 3 - 5 12oz beers everyday. And most of the times, these are IPA style of beers! Love the beer too much. I do know that this habit of mine is not good. More power to you, Goldy...

Good on ya, Goldmember! Working in the acohol industry, I might come across as having double standards when I say this, but I’m proud of you. Alcohol is a poweful drug, and I’ve seen too many people in trouble because of it. The nastiest part is that it affects both the drinker and the people around the drinker.

So true. Gahr. My grandpa was a drunk. My dad no. But dad n 10 siblings, myself and all my kin got the ramifications of his problem through 2 more lifetimes if not a third or 4th generation after.

66 days is an amazing achievement! Life keeps getting better the longer I'm sober. Stay strong @Goldmember

Alcohol is an interesting drug. It would help me sit down and drift away from life's stress and troubles...but only for a short time.
If anything happened out of the ordinary, I would find myself overreacting, sometimes with unnecessary anger. Now, though I miss
the "escape," I'm able to think clearly before reacting and put up my emotional armor. Oh, yes, and I no longer have to worry about
making the choice to drive or not. Thanks, everyone, for all the kind words of encouragement!
