Hi, this is my first ever post to a forum. Been drinking beer everyday off and on for the last 8 or so years.. Doc said that I had to quit and I agree. I have quit twice in the last 2 years for a month or two at a time but I have to quit for good. Life is so much better when drinking is not involved! So today is day 1!

Cool. Yeah, I remember when a doctor told me to quit about ten years ago. What was he thinking?

yeah ive known for a long time that I needed to. Have tried time and time again to quit but I can never seem to hang with it. Been scared to go to the doctor for years because of it. I have to go back in a couple weeks and have blood work done to see what kind of shape im in. Tired of feeling sick 24/7.

Welcome, myusername. SR was my first (and still only) forum posting experience, also, and it has turned out to be one of the best things I have done.

Congratulations on Day 1 and, again, welcome.
