Congrats! Keep it up.

I'm attending a Coursera lecture given by Kuhar. Haven't bought that book yet.

Great job buddy. What was your breaking point to quit? What is your back story? If you don't mind?

Geno, my breaking point was I was not able to write my name after 8 hours with shaking so bad.... I didn't know I was that bad, just a drink or 2 or 3 after a long stress full day...... So I told my best friends first and went my doc.... He gave me meds and put on stress leave for 8 week. After 100 day, my ego was high and I though I was read to become a social drinker..... Negative, 1 drink turned to two and so on, 3 week later I started again and today it's 45 day.. It's never going to be easy, but my workout tame my frustration and irritation. And my new addiction is my ice coffee..... Lost 8 lbs from stopping alcohol, and life is just so much better. Although I must admit at times it's hard know that I can NEVER AGAIN have a drop of alcohol. ( I'm still on Antabuse, another 10 months, it's my security blanket........

Thank you for sharing your story. I know it takes a lot of bravery and strength to stop drinking. I have a addictive personality. I went to rehab when I was 23. Meth was a big one. I graduated the 18 month program. Traded to alcohol For until 87 days ago I quit. It is hard keep your head up. Contact me if you want to talk. God bless
