ImGunnaJump 0 #7 September 21, 2006 It's my understanding from previous posts that he's going to be in a marathon...so he's sworn off the hootch until after.

Rebecca 0 #13 September 22, 2006 Peter, I'm impressed. Perhaps one of these days I shall attempt a similar feat. The abstaining part, not the marathon. Until then, I raise my Newcastle to you, your health and your success in beating your goal time in 44 days. Cheers! you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Especially when I get texts from my "friends," like tonight, that say things like, "Hey, we're all at Alli's. Getting wasted - come join. Good drinks - people brought blow." Sigh.

ntrprnr 0 #17 September 22, 2006 QuoteQuoteQuote The abstaining part, not the marathon. It's not that wonderful. Trust me. :) I disagree I've never needed alcohol to have fun and I'm an alcoholic Of course I can - that's not the issue. It's not the abstaining part that's hard, it's the not going out with friends part. And I'm not-not going out with friends because I don't trust myself to not drink - I'm not-not going out with friends because I'm up at 5:30 every morning to do a minimum of six miles. If I go out with friends, the six miles sucks royal donkey dick. So it's just easier to not have a life until it's over. I'm not such a huge drinker (other than being a vodka snob), so I don't so much miss the alcohol, as I do the hanging out part. I miss the alcohol a little bit. But the act of going out with friends and sleeping a bit later inthe morning - that part I miss._______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."

karenmeal 0 #18 September 22, 2006 I miss it to! I'm a dinner with wine kind of person but I'd rather enjoy a pain-free knee than a glass of wine. So there you go. Hopefully just a few more days. Then I'll be a cheap drunk again. Woohoo! "Life is a temporary victory over the causes which induce death." - Sylvester Graham Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

freeflir29 0 #22 September 22, 2006 I know how that is. I didn't drink for like 3 or 4 days recently. Thank God the bar opened Wed night. Had a few Amstel and then finished the night off with a good amount of Cpt Morgan and coke. It was sure tasty........and damn did I have fun hanging out with a lot of old friends that I haven't seen in a long time. However..........when I heard my radio crackle at 630 AM.........I was wishing I had gone to bed at 10PM like I said I was. On marathons............that's like 26 miles right? Can't you get a cab? Is someone going to be chasing you with a sharp object the whole way? Why in the world would ANYONE voluntarily run 26 miles all at once? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Peej 0 #24 September 22, 2006 Much respect for going this long dude. After a few weeks of serious binging i have decided to quit for a month. Four days in last night and i was out with a few mates, i must say i was SO tempted just to say screw it and have a beer. I held out though. It feels good. Good luck to you!
