I have found that several people (3 other guys) & I, only have beer at the DZ (not at home or "out at dinner").

whocares 0 #30 July 26, 2003 If you need to consider stopping drinking there is a BIG chance you have a problem. Get into a 12 step program. Changed my life for the better 100%. More fun, money and dont need to worry about what i did last night. Life is great on the wagon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Designer 0 #33 July 26, 2003 Hey,just put other things in your hands(not gonna say what I really want here(lol)).I worked wood(real wood projects) to get started in quitting the booze.It worked. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tbrown 26 #34 July 26, 2003 QuoteI don't drink all the time... but having said that when I do... I can be very Irish about it. Me too. As they say, God created alcohol so the Irish wouldn't conquer the world. I don't drink all the time either, but can never drink just one. If I have to struggle that hard to keep it under control, it's just not worth it, that and feeling like shit in the morning after not sleeping well all night. The wagon can be rough and bumpy when you're just climbing on. Some people on the wagon are jerks, just like people anywhere else (hell, there are even jerks at drop zones). But the wagon does play music, people dance, and even have great sex. Besides, it's kind of amusing to be the non-drinker in a crowd that's getting sloshed, it's amazing to watch all your friends get so stupid so fast. You will still have your wonderful kinky imagination, it doesn't need a drink. Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freeflir29 0 #35 July 26, 2003 What wagon? I think I missed it. I went out drinkin last night. Seriously.....I learned a great trick as I got older. Drink a couple glasses of water throughout the night. Then have one before bed. 90% of a hangover is just dehydration. Take care of that problem and a little aspirin is the most you'll need.

SadSue 0 #37 July 26, 2003 I don't think I need a 12 step programme honestly. I can usual handle my beer ok but nowadays I get sloshed much faster. Hard liquor makes me crazy, so I'm steering clear of it.... the weirdest thing is I'm losing my taste for beer. And I can do without the hangovers. I have a date set to give up the fags again too.

wmw999 2,485 #41 July 26, 2003 Quote I don't think I need a 12 step programme honestly. Entirely possible. I just looked at it this way: drinking is supposed to increase my fun. If it doesn't, then why exactly should I spend the money on it? And if it didn't and I kept drinking anyway, or if life were only fun when I was drinking, well, that might be a sign it was a problem. Never was that way for me, I just sorta mostly quit doing it. Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SadSue 0 #44 July 26, 2003 Well , there is always the agruement that the first part of solving an addiction, is realising that you have one. I have questioned myself on several occasions, Am I in denial? I think I know myself pretty well and I dont't think I am. But I also think I'm a smart, fairly sensable and I do know right from wrong. However I cannot spell and I could in fact be delusional. Hope you don't get Banned! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tbrown 26 #50 July 26, 2003 QuoteI don't think I need a 12 step programme honestly. I don't either, so far anyway. It's just that I've noticed it runs in a cycle where I can handle it better and then no so well, and finally get so fucked up that my best friends say something about it. And it's always somewhere in that range, something that I have to work at controlling. It's too much effort...and for what ? Naturally you are your own person and our two circumstances may be quite different, probably are. But there is new evidence that alcohol gets harder on the body as we age, where a few drinks will slam us as badly as several drinks when we were younger. And unfair as it is, nature has made the aging effects of alcohol even more severe for women. I just think it's good that we all ask ourselves some private and honest questions about alcohol. Good luck. Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
