Going to quit again

[scotskev81]

Hi all.. Decided must quit again and this time wanna do it right. 11 weeks before including through Christmas and new year.

I can't handle the hangovers anymore now, also was just drinking for the sake of it. I'm sure my liver is a little inflamed but can't be certain.

Really feel like I want to do it this time.

Aiming for final drinks on Sunday 11th July as there is a couple of things I want to do, including experiencing what it feels like to drink and examine the feeling. Actually think am I really enjoying this while I'm doing it,, really..

Couple of birthday parties to attend and football to watch I shall look into myself.

Finally I know someone I used to drink with quit on that date 2 years ago and it would be cool to have the same date.

I think I can do this.

Great news, Kev!!!

Ok so was at this party and my uncle had pretty much a garage full of booze...even had its own built in fridge. There was bottles of presecco with ice buckets plus as spirits. He spent the whole time having fun but making sure everyone had a topped up glass or can at all times.

Table to table and outside tent, "hey son, want some more,, top up.. Here's ice... Etc.. It's like the more alcohol the more fun there is. A few people were confessing they had a bad hangover from yesterday but uncke says,, c Mon best cure is more beer,, ah OK.

Alcohol really is a party drug for some people... Can also tell these people love it at weekends or whenever they can...

How on earth are we to save society 😭

Re: Going to quit again

Agree Kev. Many folk are lost in the cycle of alleged fun times, where really, the fact is we are slowly poisoning ourselves to death, and worse, taking around 15-20 years off our life span.

What can i do to save society? lol. Well, I can live my best life and lead quietly and humbly by example. I can't tell others how to live. take care bro.

Re: Going to quit again

already planning some great things to do when I quit. nice weather so can go walking for a lot longer. Can use money saved to take punts on stock market or buy more bonds or even a few extra lotto tickets.. The money was earmarked for a bar anyway.

Won't be buying fizzy juice in the house as it's what I use for hangovers, only time I really drink fizzy juice is hangovers. Apart from that I only use it for occational treat or picnic.
Coffee is much better for you.

Re: Going to quit again

I am glad that your setting up a date. This gives you a chance to prepare yourself. The first quit that I did that stuck was for 7 years and I used my 1st graduation from college (went for 2 degrees so had 2 graduations) party to say goodbye to Alcohol and it helped. I was going to do it again for this quit but I decided that I was done drinking sooner then what I was going to do.

Re: Going to quit again

thank you.

I simply cannot handle the hangovers anymore. Spent about 90 mins in my shower yesterday just sitting down, had the biggest load of junk food ever after I got out.

It's no way to live is it.

No, it isn't Kev!! And besides the drinking, the junk food will mess you up as well. So glad you have decided to stop again. You did so well last time. Good, healthy food with a few treats tossed in will help you feel much better, faster. Best of luck. You CAN do it!

Re: Going to quit again

It’s no way to live at all, Kev. You are proving to yourself that you are indeed poisoning yourself.
I had to prove that to myself too.

Re: Going to quit again

sorry to report had about 6 drinks last night. not really excessive as was over a time frame and had food before it etc.. but yeah. Still 10 days sober was better than none.

I don't think i'll ever quit to be honest. I enjoy the nights out too much. Don't think this forum is for me so I might stop torturing myself on here. :-)

I wish everyone else well in their quit whatever stage they are at. x
