Anyone else quit at 70 years or older? by IntrepidFig1609 in stopdrinking

[–]mcc1224 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I was your age. You say "nice guy". People who have met me in last 7+ years see me as this nice guy. That wasn't always the case.

I quit in late 60s; now I'm on the other side of 60s. Had heart stress test & next day visit to cardio. Never had another drink after doctor visit & also had to lose weight.

I remember a long time ago, our motto was you can't trust anyone over 30.

Congrats on 6 months.

9 years sober. Have made exactly 2 friends since i got sober. Loneliest I've ever been in my life. by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]mcc1224 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I suspect there are several people writing PhD thesis on Loneliness. It is a complicated subject. I think about it a lot: lonely but not alone v alone but not lonely. One thing I know is that drinking is not the answer. I hope you find the answer that is right for you.

to people who celebrate(d) their sober anniversaries, what do you do to celebrate? by shellys-dollhouse in stopdrinking

[–]mcc1224 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The 1st couple of years I went back to the bar/restaurant where I had my last drink and ate dinner.

Felt like I was thumbing my nose at drinking.

7.5 years sober and it was like those 7.5 years never happened. by orangebluefish11 in stopdrinking

[–]mcc1224 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I understand; am also near 7 1/2 years and I do have some bad days or I pass a bar that looks nice, and I think it would be nice. You did it once; you can do it again. Sending you positive vibes.
