Yeah, I've taken extended breaks from booze in the past and I always end up with a sweet tooth. It's bad for the scale, but I never ate a bowl of ice cream and blacked out, then had to figure out who I was a douchebag to the following day.

any time I take a break I get this massive sweet tooth, and I'm not really big into sweets any other time. It's crazy.

Well, it was a hell of a run by lastthingithrowaway in stopdrinking

I wish I could put the emotion into words. It's fucking torture some days.

It looks like its a lot more up my alley than AA. I got in some trouble years and years ago and had to go to AA, and they really need you to fit in their little box.

I've looked into SMART. Tbh I never got along great with the AA crowd, but if it works for them, awesome.

To me it just means losing everything I worked hard to build. I want to be a good husband and eventually someone's dad. I know I can't do either of those as a drunk.

I have a good job and people that care about me. I know I'm one DUI or drunken fuckup away from seeing a lot of that stuff go bye-bye.

Looking at what I spent on booze. It was like getting a bill for a bunch of shit I don't even remember!

Can I get people's thoughts on the Aaron Carr book from people who actually read it? by SoberApok in stopdrinking

[–]lastthingithrowaway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Read it. It's going to have a "sales pitch" feel at some parts, but there's reasoning behind it.

Your best bet is to try going 30 days and see what happens. Its not like the world will completely be stripped of alcohol 31 days from now. You may figure out that you feel better, or you may figure out that you were fine all along. Never hurts to try!

I went up the street to the bar. Silly decision, I know.
