quit drinking (read all 4 entries…)
Day 3 2 years ago

well so far so good I mad it to day 3 but I question my self if I tried to quit to early the holidays is a tough time for me I lived in Colorado for 6 years now I moved here for college and never left I have no family here so on thanksgiving my tradition was to just buy a bottle of jack and smokes and just get plastered so this one will be different. a few of you all said that its going to be hard for you because your the “life of the party” well i’m the same way but now I’m going to be the sober guy but I think I’ll be ok as the sober life of the party guy lol.

Oh just a few things of topic that I noticed about my self after day 1 last night I worked late and stopped for fast food but I cant remember the last time I actually drank the soda I got because in the past I always just tossed it cuz I was already drinking something =P maybe not that I notice things like this it might help me build a stronger foundation for quitting for good

Have a great Holladay weekend everyone I’ll keep in touch.

Good Job

Good for you, Connor! Are you curious about what interesting things you’ll find out about being “the sober guy”? Hope you’re enjoying the snowy weather. Best wishes, lyn

soda!

I used to get the big ass soda and drink half of it pretty quick (or pour it out) and fill the rest with rum or vodka at home. Wow, that’s something to write home about! Since my body is receiving things different now and caffeine is affecting me in a different way (never really did anything to me before but now it just gives me a headache), i just order a large non-sweetened tea. Some people HATE tea, but I actually like it and it’s not bad for you (I don’t think) and it fills you up. Personally, I’m trying to stay away from fast food, I just do subway if I need something quick.

Since I’m doing all this crazy stuff, I’m going to attempt to do 30 days of only water or tea. No soda, no coffee, nothing but water and tea (unless i read somewhere that milk and such are essential things for a healthy diet).

I have a root beer fixation and i can drink them like there’s no tomorrow. I also think that since I’m on day 32 if I focus on no soda it will take away my distraction of no alcohol.

Either way, enjoy your holiday. Not to sound preachy, but my survival method through this has been staying busy so maybe you could go and volunteer to give out food or something. Again, I’m not going to say to do something that I’m not doing but it would be something to do and, who knows, you might even enjoy it.

Well done!

life, is so good. life is breathing, life is loving, life is traveling, life is speak with friends.Etc….

What is a bottle of wine? does it have the smell of flowers, does it have the power to get you happiness?
Well done, drinking is not a solution to solve  problems. life is so beautiful without drinking, friends are around the corner, ready to give to you a word. water, is so fresh and so nice. We came to life from water. Be happy, Be cool, be fresh as the morning mist. See you soon Paulo--------------------
