Quit the Booze

[ChalkyDee]

I have quit the booze now for 7 years. Feels bloody amazing.
I was in 15 different hospitals in Bkk in 5 years and since stopping never been in one, apart from for my daughters.

EVERYTHING is better booze free.

congratulations.

I feel you brother

I've been off it for around 7 hours myself.

[Troubled]

I have been off it since the weekend. Long may it continue.

I did have a gulp last night but poured almost all of the bottle into the pork stew i was making

Good 4 You chalky dee, Personally I like getting a bit pissed and not been in hospital in my life. I do wonder how sober people sleep tho, cause if I don't have a drink. which is 2 3 times a week, takes me ages to go to sleep and I wake up at 3 am.

Well done CD, unfortunately without booze I face two problems in life, being boredom and sleeping.
I think I'd need to become some sort of action junkie to succesfully give up. Moderation is more my issue, but I have yet to suffer health problems (well OK, some gout).

[AntRobertson]

I hadn't had a drink for about 2mths and then in the space of the last 5 days have been on the turps twice because there's a bunch of friends b'days and the like - another this weekend even.

Can't help but thinking I was missing nothing other than horrible bloody hangovers.

^F#cking lier!

[Roc]

I've been on the sex and yellow curry diet!

[Lily]

I have friends from home here at the moment and it is bloody hard work, drinking every night.

[ChalkyDee]

17 years now, how times flies and I have to say my life now is totally beyond my wildest dreams.

[Troy]

I have to say that I can't remember stringing together more than a week without a tipple for the last 40 years.

I am on a low sugar diet, due to diabetes, so missed lunch and dinner so I can have half a bottle of Gin with a bit of tonic tonight. Any less after work like this week and I'd have gone insane long before I got diabetes....:-)

Wife was worried sick about my drinking until she forced me to stop ...after 4 days she poured me a drinK!

I guess you're lucky in a way that you can control it.

[Troy]

^ Let's see if tonight manages to answer that one....

[39TG]

Moderation is more my issue too. When I was younger I once went 2 years with no booze. You adapt to it fairly quickly.

Why 15 different hospitals? Were you not paying the bill?
Good to see youve turned your life around.....for your daughters sake especially.

Parties? Shagging the wife?

[harrybarracuda]

EVERYTHING is NOT better booze free just because YOU couldn't control your drinking.

If you're not an alcoholic, you won't understand, but everything is better for me - I'm not saying everything is better for you. I wouldn't have a family if I hadn't quit. In fact, I'd be dead. 2 large bottles of Sang Thip a day, plus a few Changs.

For an alcoholic to stop drinking a psychic change, or spiritual awaking is needed. I had the choice to die an alcoholic death or live a life on spiritual principles. It wasn't an easy choice.

[baldrick]

I could be a spiritual alcoholic if I wanted to be - I like spirits , especially Balvenie Caribbean cask

[Troy]

For an alcoholic to stop drinking ...

Takes a tremendous amount of effort. Whatever the reason for giving up completely, you made a good choice and are already reaping the rewards...

Well done Sir!

[Latindancer]

Given the choice of having something alcoholic or another drink without, about 1 in 20 vervet monkeys become instant binge drinkers, gulping down so much booze they eventually pass out.


Around one in 7 are heavy drinkers who like their spirits neat, while most are moderate drinkers who prefer to wash down their alcohol with a little fruit juice.

Just one in 7 monkeys prefer to not have an alcoholic drink at all.

[Jack meoff]

I'm addicted to champagne and Aldi wines.
What's the problem . 2018

[Latindancer]

^ Obviously Proboscis monkeys have different taste in alcohol.

[cyrille]

It's just the fookin system.

Won't allow them credit cards or shopping trolleys.

Bastards.

He was probably just talking about his own situation .
Everything is better for him, now that hes stopped drinking .
He doesnt mean that Aresnal are now a good team, just because hes stopped drinking , sort of thing

No wonder you spent so much time in hospital.
