Quit drinking booze 4 weeks ago

....eventually. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. Once your pickled you can never again be a cucumber.
 
I've now gone 99 days without a drink and have focused my attention on health and weight loss. I've gone from 194 to 163 pounds (I'm a cyclist and runner, so "getting big" is never a goal of mine).

Going on five months sans booze for me...not a drop. Down to 156 pounds. That's 38 pounds lost during that time for those scoring at home (down 46 since last summer). None of my clothes fit anymore. Good problem to have I suppose.

I'm doing my first half marathon in October.
 
9 weeks sober as of yesterday. The day I quit drinking I was 273.5lbs, today I am 247lbs. Hitting the gym 3x a week, eating better and most important not drinking booze, even my mouth wash is alcohol free.

Body goal is to get down to about 215lbs, should be there in about 4 months. I will post some new pics once I hit this goal.

Well done! :clapping:
 
I am right here as well. I can't go more then a day with out having a drink. It's so hard. I haven't been clean longer then a few days since I was 18. It's too much of a crutch to escape life for me. I wish you the best.

Well done sir, it's a tough fight and you're doing awesome. :winkfinger:
Best of luck on your journey.

Not bashing, and I've been known to let loose on a Saturday night quite often... But isn't being an alcoholic completely counterproductive to what this forum stands for?

Keep up the good work, btw!

11 weeks sober, still no real desire to drink. Had some real stress last week, a friend killed himself, I did not give in to the urge to have a drink. I think that event was a real test and I passed with flying colors. By the way he was an alcoholic also so maybe that gave me even more incentive to stay sober.

How are things, GF?

Where are you these days in the world and in cyberland?

Kind of sick of the bodybuilding stuff, no doubt I will disappear some day soon from the bodybuilding sites I post on. That or I will be that guy who just posts in his journal a few times a week and never ventures out of it.

Wherever you go and whatever you do, good luck and keep up the good work of not drinking. You may not return here you say but even so you have people here you dont even know that are rooting for your continued success! :winkfinger: You seem to be doing wonderful at what can be very difficult goal of being sober. You made the hardest step, starting, now just hang in there.

The hardest part, as you are well aware of, is the first step. There are people all over that have been exactly where you are and would like to help you when you are ready. It is within you to stop drinking it is just the alcohol that is telling you otherwise. Good luck to you!
 
Congrats! Stay the course and sobriety is a reality one day at a time. I'm a drug and alcohol/mental health worker and know of the struggle personally.
 
I used to be a raging drunk but for that past few years I only go on one or two serious binders which usually last 3-4 days. Otherwise I will go months without even sipping a beer. I've been trying to get away from the all or nothing approach by socializing more and cutting myself off at 6 beers; it seems to be working and I plan on sticking with this.
 
12 weeks, made it through xmas with no problems, even went to my x wifes families house for xmas dinner and that really sucked.
 
Excellent job!
