Approaching three months without a drink which is a PB. Some records should never be broken.

I feel that this gives the body time to repair the damage done by drinking. Usually, when I do once again partake, I do so like a guy just out of prison going at a stipper. This time, however, I just didn't really enjoy drinking. I watched the Stanley Cup and had a few beers, but I didn't enjoy doing this. That is really fucking not in character. Anyone experience anything like this? What do you think?

Personally I'm a binge drinker, and feel like death for a few days after I drink heavily. I want to curb it and just go social. I've been able for the most part to keep it under 10 this year, but a few years I'd go on a binge and drink 20 - 30 in one long bout.

I know a guy that is an absolute alcoholic in the worst sense. The first thing he does when he wakes up in the morning is drink a beer... he needs one every couple hours. I'm not like this at all, I can go a long time without, and then I'm bored and just drink a whole lot.

The only thing that ever helped me was replacing the drinking activity with something else... Meditation or exercise generally works as a replacement as it gives the mind "that high".

what *I* don't get is WHY drinking in a country where good bud can be found at reasonable prices. My first buy in PP was KICKASS greenbud. Very tasty too. Since then, not quite as good but hell, in the early 70s I was stoned every day after work, woke up buzzed. An ounce of Columbian gold or red a week, JUST ME, only after work. I'd really never drink if I could get herb like that at home for a non stupid price. Lumbo red or gold was $35 an ounce. it's around that for a stupid 1/4 now. But no hangover, no fucked stomach lining, etc.
I can only figure it's the social lubricant.
Stoned to the bone ya just vege out and laugh occasionally when Roy Buchanan rips a good run.

I'm a Toronto maple leafs fan, you talk about a team that drives me to drink!!!!!

I gave up drinking for 6 months Jan to summer 2012, to train for a 70 mile walk. I think I tend to drink to be sociable or because I am bored. I get bored with it, so might just abstain again. Although, the danger is there are 36 hours in every dry day, or so it seems

I gave up for like 1 hour..... And then 8 years of collective hangovers caught up with me. I cured them with a beer or 12

I love drinking beer more than breathing.
