Quitting Tomorrow
Hello all,
I got married in September almost 2 years ago. Before I got married I quit drinking beer on Mother's Day. I stayed clean until after my marriage, however I was one of those people that thought I was cured. When I quit the first time, I went from 130 pounds down to around 102 from Mothers day in May to mid September. I felt great and even took up walking and jogging.
Well I am not one of those people that can ever drink again and I find that I am now drinking again daily. I have been for quite some time and I am back up to 130 Pounds.
This time I realize. I just can never drink alcohol. If I do, I will fall back into the same trap, stop exercising and have a crappy life. I am so tired of it. Why do I want to drink? I wish I knew. My drink of choice is Mich-Ultra. However, I drink it like water. It's easy to do as it doesn't taste too strong.
Anyway, I plan to browse the forums and hope for some help through my reading.
I am stating my quit date will Be June 3rd, 2014.

Because I cannot quit when it is still in the house. I am drinking now. There has to be 0 beer here for me to do it. In the first week or so when I quit before I would not even go anywhere there was alcohol.

Purple, I did that last time actually. When I set my quit date as Mother's Day, the day before there would be some left for the next day. I poured them out. That I will do today if need be. I cannot have it near me when I quit, as I will not feel to well the first few days. I will even have a hard time watching some TV shows and movies as they tend to drink. It's very hard for me to explain.

Keep posting, it makes life that bit easier.

It may be hard for you to explain but one of the many beauty's of this place is that it's not difficult for us to understand.
Keep healthy and get that stack of DVD,s , books and a drink of your choice , I ended up with apple juice I drank it by the gallon. Good luck and once you grasp the never again its a lot easier than treading water till you drink again.

Welcome, Happy. I don't question your plan. I only hope you stick to it, wake up sober tomorrow and ready to roll up your sleeves, especially through the first few very difficult days (which I and most of us know very well). This forum can be a great help. Hope we see a lot of you around here. Tomorrow can be the first day of a much brighter, clearer, happier future.
Say cheese!
