I have to confess, I'm a huge alcoholic and always have been, I've been sober in increments of 5 years and one other time for ten years. I recently reflected on how much I have been/was consuming. I'm completely through this time. I just can't do it anymore. I'll be honest - after this last time, I'm lucky to even be here right now.
I love you guys and promise to each of you, this is the new beginning to my life and I'm completely done with drinking.
Thanks for the ear. If anyone else is struggling. Please feel free to chime in if you wish.
Court ordered sobriety, weekly tested at RR's expense
Under...I would not brag about adhering to a court order...
when failing to do so is prison.
No reason to be a dick about a milestone accomplishment. Since you have nothing positive to offer to this thread, I'm sure you won't mind that you will no longer be able to post in it? [Reply]
Meh, I made it from Aug 18th until Thanksgiving. Evenings are just too boring without a few beers. I don't drink during the day,I just wait until I'm done with all responsibilities and it's time to relax, I'll put in another effort after we win the SB. Hope that comes this season. [Reply]
I don't come home and pound a bottle of vodka or a case of beer or drink to get drunk. Just not worth the feeling at 56.
My problem was that I VERY seldom have hang overs. I could drink a half a handle of Tequila, and be frisky and at work at 8:30 the next day. BUT...it jacks your health up and that's most probably why I have the health issues I have.
Hang overs are natures way of sayin, "Um, pal, you messing us up...?" [Reply]
I had an opioid addiction; Hydrocodone....nothing illegal, all prescribed for years. The day came when I moved and changed Doctors. New doc obviously wouldn’t provide so I quit cold turkey...no choice. GOD I WAS AN ASSHOLE FOR 3 weeks!! I am better for it. Never even missed it. DAMN MY BACK IS KILLING ME NOW!! [Reply]

I'm actually tapering off of hydrocodone now. I was hurt at work 3/2017 and was taking 60-80mg a day. I started tapering back in July and have gotten myself down to 5mg. This morning I skipped my pill (I cut a bunch of 5s in half) and think I'm just going to skip tonight too so I can FINALLY be rid of this crap. Kudos to you and anyone else that has gone cold turkey off dope. Cutting 5mg every week or two was miserable enough..
I switched to MMJ back in September and it seems to help more than those pills ever did. [Reply]
