Almost a week

I don't post often, but wanted to thank you guys. It's been almost a week without drinking after tapering down.

This sub hasn't been busy lately, but I want to thank all who've posted earlier. You helped point me in a good direction.

I feel so much better physically and mentally already and feel compelled to exercise daily now.

Thank you.

Right on. Welcome.

Some things I find helpful, for the long haul:

*Alcohol lowers testosterone.

*Most alcohol companies are owned by jews.

*Alcohol basically keeps people as herd animals; wasting enough of their time money and health to prevent them from doing much outside of working and paying taxes.

Think of it like an abusive relationship - You'll probably find yourself eventually wanting to go back because "It'll be different this time." It won't.

If you find you can't get rid of the compulsion/mental obsession part, I can say from experience that AA's program works, if done properly. It kind of blows me away, how many people white knuckle their way through years of sobriety without ever getting any real relief.

Congratulations! If you get the itch to drink, get some tonic water. Something about the quinine helps with cravings. Add lime or anything else you want for flavor. Sleep is going to be a bit of a bitch for a long while, just do your best to do moderate exercise. Be worn out at bedtime. Best of luck! Really glad to hear that you're beating the drink and winning!!!

Agreed, I quit the sauce 4yrs ago. Ruff patch sleeping & easily pissed off for about 3 months. Now i'm trying to quit tobacco. Even worse than alcohol, i've failed 3 times already. Getting ready to try again, found some CBD pouches i'm gonna try, hope it works this time.
