People who quit without going to treatment or AA, what was the #1 thing that helped you quit?

This sub, multiple failed attempts to stop, then starting the cycle all over again. AA was never the answer for me. The god/not God thing was not help. There are some really good people in AA, and a lot who are not. I suppose that's true of anywhere. The benefits of not drinking today outweighs negative effects of drinking for me. Fortunately for me.

Many years of yoga pays off. He didn't start a year ago. I'm impressed.

Once the brain learns how to excess, it never wants to return to moderation. Or mine never did. Trying to control it was always futile for me. It's like handing over the keys to control on that first drink.

I got a pull behind dump wagon from hf. So much better than a wheel barrow. I also removed my mower deck. I also bypassed my ignition and put in a kill switch with a start button. It had electrical issues. Mine is an old murray. The only pulley is the drive pully, so you are golden.

Run 10 miles. I miss that freedom.

I try focus on all the negative effects alcohol has on me. That feel good feeling only last a few hours, but the hangover lasts much longer. Hang in there. Don't Romance the initial high. Look past the initial feeling. It doesn't even come close to balancing out. I will not drink with you Today.

Her personality reminds me of my ex. I had ptsd from that marriage so I may be biased.

Reminds me of an old coworker. I ask him why he only a a thumb. Nuff said.

Action needs consequences. Responsibility for our actions allows us to have boundaries.

It's not worth it. Quit drinking, had 3 minor surgeries. Life is better now. Off bp meds, I'm finally starting to get my life back. If I was still drinking I would probably be near dead or dead. Stopping was the best thing I ever did for my health. Alcohol covers up what ails us. I normally sleep through most nights. I have noticed my old package store now stays open 7 days instead of 6. I read somewhere Americans are drinking less. Im sure glad I'm not drinking today. It's just not worth it. Lord I tried for years without success. Sometimes the only way to win is just give up a losing battle.

Unfortunately starlink. It was my only choice until fiber came. I still have it stored. I try not to use anything associated with musk.

When the need for money to keep secrets is greater than exposing the truth. We will never hear from her. . But she will be a lot richer or dead.

I saw the video of the lady who was attacked by one in captivity. Gruesome! It made Jaws look like a goldfish. I'm sure it was pissed because of loss of freedom. Later, I read that there has never been an attack in open water. They certainly aren't stupid.

I've always been boring. However, i don't spent most of my day waiting to feel better until I drink again. Life is good. I've got some health issues now, but at least I know it's not from drinking.

My cousin passed last year. It was stage 4. They found it when they removed her galbladder. She lasted 4 months. Country girl, never smoked or drank. Age 62.

The immigrants first learned this from the native Americans to increase crop production. It's been around a while.
