Quitters.
Edit: If not "Quitters," I like ' suggestion.
I prefer ' Liquor in the front. Poker in the rear'
Oh wait, wrong meeting .... how about -
'Lemme take off my pants and jacket'

I'd like to see those that want help to stop drinking get it. Suggestion/question, would you consider, or is it even possible to make the users of the sub anonymous should they choose to be? So they don't have to make a throwaway account or out their own profile. (Have delt with more than my fair share of alcoholics. It's taken a lot from me and I'd like it not to take from those who want to quit .)
I asked AOU about making an anon self help sub here awhile ago, he said it attracts too many problems to be feasible
I don't know - I've never tried to make a sub. That's a really good idea though.
You going sauceless?
For 6 months now.
How's it been?
Good. Going through the 12 steps, I've worked through some personal issues that were at the root of my "need" to drink. Free at last.
I think "Sauceless" is the right answer.
This is a good idea. We can challenge ourselves to keep off it.
Personally, I've found that people who haven't ever been addicted to anything really can't understand the struggle. It helps a lot to be able to talk to people who get it.
Yeah, i definitely use it to "be happy" like pissing yourself, to stay warm in a blizzard.
I used to think it helped me deal with all my past shame and regret. I've come to realize it was making it way worse. It's like a demonic possession really. (if you're full blown alcoholic anyway)
Agree. I've been sober for a good long while now. But when I first put down the drink it helped to be able to relate to folks that understood I didn't "like to drink" I was addicted - which are two very different things.
Yeah, it's kind of funny looking through some of the comments here. The ones who don't "get it" are pretty obvious.
im 5 min utes sober. wait nevermind. ill start again tommow
why would anyone quit the small pleasures in life.
just control yourself.
