My belated anniversary - 5 years sober..

[napalmdeath]

So, I celebrated 5 years of sobriety this month. Haven't had a drink since November 2nd, 2017. Alcohol can be the devil to some, absolutely ruins lives - I know it nearly ruined mine. I'd be dead if I didn't quit!

Anybody else out there that's quit, kudos. It's tough at first, but it just becomes a life without it, and I don't miss it one bit.

Now, here's a "sobering" fact.. I've saved $22,000 by not drinking. NO SHIT.

Congratulations. Yes I quit too, years ago.

I lost my brother, and a lot of friends to Alcohol.

Well done man, and CentristNutz too!

Lost my housemate to it. Watched him go downhill fast for 12 years. Died age 34.

My old roommate died in a April just shy of his 35th birthday due to booze and fentanyl. Old bass player shot himself to death last month.

The system is designed to destroy at this point. Booze/drugs are an adaptation to being driven insane.

Happy anniversary bro! Tobacco was my demon for years. Stomach surgery and a feeding tube for 11 weeks finally allowed me to beat it. Not being able to eat or drink for that entire time was a sobering experience. That's when me and Danno got real tight. Wasn't to long after that when he got real sick.

Booze/drugs are an adaptation to being driven insane.

That is a fact.

Sorry you had to deal with all of that.

Sorry you had to deal with all of that.

Thank you for that humanity.

Get a card. Better weed, cheaper, and ALWAYS available.

That it is. It's a rabbit hole with booze and drugs.

I've settled down quite a bit lately. Didn't drink for a couple weeks. Had some this weekend and no matter what, I end up feeling like shit next day. I'm talking 2-3 drinks is all. So I am hardcore and just stopped. Told my wife I'm done for awhile. Being a bartender, I'm around it all the time, but I don't sit there and jones over it. Just was a stress relief some nights after work. Congrats to you though man...mojo sent your way for your dad.

Congrats.

I rarely drink... just not my thing (no drugs either).
