3 days going on 4, but its Friday.

I quit on veterans day. I've helped many of my brothers get sober and now its time for me to do it as well. The hangovers have gotten so bad that after a night of drinking I can't even leave my couch for two days. I've been a weekend drinker for 14 years and a few weekdays here and there. I'm ready to start a new life and leave the dumb drunk me behind. I guess its time to find new hobbys and get my life back on track. One day at a time a guess.

Hold that memory as thoughts of drinking pop up. If you helped your brothers get sober, call them, I'm sure they would return the favor.

I'll be spending one-seventh of the rest of my life on Fridays - all of them sober.

Congrats on starting your sober journey!

You can do this!

Hey laxd44, welcome! Congrats on the three days!!!

Nice decision to stop. The party has to end sooner or later, and it's great that you're taking care of business in that area.

Yes, it's Friday and I know there are additional temptations, but is it really worth it?
I guess its time to find new hobbys and get my life back on track
.
This part is really one of the key factors. Reinvent your lifestyle so booze as no business anymore.

Stay strong, and I hope to see you around in here.

Thanks everyone. Today I also called the VA to see what kind of help I could get, but can't see anyone till Dec. 5 unless I want to wait 8 hours at the ER there. Got to love the VA haha. Sorry just venting

I too could not handle the hangovers anymore, which for me lasted 1 day.
