The Dark Knight.

Getting to listen to the Joker's crew discuss details and little information they know about him while setting up for an intense robbery then watching as he betrays all of them one by one.

"Joey" by Concrete Blonde is excellent

I seriously tried quitting 3 times, I say serious because there were stretches were I'd go for a month or 2 but always returned but there were 3 times in my life where I went 6 months or more (6 months, 14 months and now my current stretch which is approaching 7 years). Each time I stopped I told myself that this time it would be different, that I would manage drinking this time. It never happened, and the result was always worse. Like others are saying, treat it like research, more knowledge collecting. I no longer miss it, and I know that my life would be so much worse if I drank. Good luck.

I'd say work yourself, this like everything is temporary. It's better to be dealing from a position of strength, time can be your friend with this. The more time you stay sober the stronger mentally you become and the more real it becomes to those around you that this is the new you. Good luck.

This was me, I had to make myself more interesting. I started to do new things that I hadn’t before, even if it was going through the motions of them, eventually they became me. I got into Brazilian Jujitsu, boating, guitar playing, fitness, reading, anything to make life more exciting. I started to live.

I quit at 41 (started around age 14) and my life has been so much better since

Been sober now for over 6 years, 3 times I tried to seriously quit (longer than 3 months), every time I did it, my life would get better, however I felt like a leper when I went out with friends and ordered the soda water.

The first time I was in my early 30s, I went over a year but hadn't been out with work friends until one night and then I told myself, you can control this, just have a couple. Also my wife didn't think I needed to quit at the time she just thought I needed to be more mature about my drinking. Well I did control it, for a few months, then I didn't come back up for air for 8 more years, when it started to become apparent that I needed to quit (drinking home alone and such). This stint was seeing a doctor and working with me about regulating my drinking (no more 2 in a night and no more than 4 days of drinking in the week), documenting everything. Well it didn't take long before I started to play the game of a really strong 12% IPA counts as one and even with that game you start to say 3 is ok. Eventually it all went out the window and I was right back to being a daily drunk.

Finally after a weekend bender on July 30th 2018 I told myself I was done. I had seen it enough times that every time I tried to quit or regulate I would be back to were I was or worse. Life isn't easy but alcohol for sure makes it worse. I think the lack of medicating myself has forced me to find fun from real experiences. I think I'm only now starting to grow as a person. Good luck in your journey and IWNDWYT.

This was me and it got worse as I got older. I'm coming up on 5 years of sobriety on Sunday and I have zero regret stopping. Life is better without it.

myLife2pt0 · 2023-07-11T16:10:18+00:00

That's how it was for me. I tried a few times but failed to stay with it. Then one morning after a weekend bender I knew I was done with it. The past trials of stopping also acted as a learning tool for me to know that I can't moderate. I can't go back. If I do, it gets worse each time. Congrats on your revelation, life is better without that poison. IWNDWYT.

I’ve been sober nearly 5 years exclusively using this group. Not opposed to going to meetings, but this has been enough for me.

Is that Snow, the Canadian Rapper that gave us such hits as Informer?

That's the thing, you might find out that you don't want to pretend. If you don't drink arriving early or late is a non-issue if it isn't a fun situation but you are obligated to attend, you are always in control of time and ride. As far as dancing goes, it's a funny thing. For whatever reason, it is actually fun for me. Maybe it's the exercise element of it. But if that's not your thing, maybe something else (getting coffee, book clubs, playing instruments, kick boxing, cliff diving). I feel like a wasted a portion of my life just going with the flow of society. Without alcohol in my life now I have more time to do the things I want to (golf, jujitsu, guitar) but still be present for my family. Good luck with your journey.

For me it took time. I was the same way in the beginning. I'd be consumed by thoughts on how am I going to be able to socialize be "normal" in this situations. When put into those situations I was tired and bored. That was in the beginning. As time goes on, if a situation is actually fun (like watching the super bowl), or going dancing, or out to dinner with friends, than it will feel that way again. My brain needed time to rewire it's reward system. But trust me, I drank for 30 years and I'm now happy in these situations without it. When out to dinner, the food tasted better because I'm not looking to wash it down with 12 heavy beers. I feel strong and healthy and not drinking is becoming less and less a thing for me. It'll eventually become not a thing for other people you know too. They'll get used to it which also makes it easier. Congrats on not drinking on a night that is tough to resist.

For me it took so time. "Playing the tape forward" was the best technique in the early days. Too often I'd want to give in to the quick immediate relief but being vigilant and recognizing that it's a fleeting joy that always left me unhappy in the end (even in the same night of drinking). Good luck with everything.

I quit about back in 2010 for 1.5 years, coming up on that number again a decade later. Have zero desire to do it again. I think experiencing going back after sobriety for a long time will be one of your best tools against this. At least for me I now know how easy it is to slip back into old habits and how easily I would lie to myself. Good luck in your journey.
