Good Luck

Good Luck

I quit ten years or so ago..

I drank a gallon of Jack a week, quit cold turkey.

I didn’t have any problems. I don’t recommend it.

If you can see a doctor.

Peace

Just 'celebrated' 19 years sober this past Saturday. One day a time. It's kinda ridiculous to think that the last time I had a beer I was 28.

Sober for 5 years +. I do not crave it, I do not want to feel that depressed again. Brought up by alcoholics. I do not need the agony of the shit. Smoke pot.

It's not that I don't have pot.i simply can't smoke it cause of my PTSD and anxiety.i can only smoke when I'm drinking.if I smoke without drinking it just makes it worse.it really sucks.edibles seem to help though.i can't grow right now but I get butter every once in a while sometimes but not enough

Did you ever try that non-alcoholic beer lately to help you stop drinking?

This way you get the beer flavor without the alcohol.
I tried near beer shortly after I quit drinking.

Totally freaked me out. I found myself chugging the stuff and feeling dissatisfied and confused. It might work for some, but not for me at that point.

That's what I was thinking.probably make me go buy real beer,but I'm not like most people.i can go 2 or 3 days drinking non stop without sleeping depending on the beer.i can drink light beer like water that's why I drink ice beer

Has anyone on here tried using naltrexone for help in weening themselves off the drink? It's apparently like Antabuse, but without all the awful side effects, it blocks certain chemical reactions in the brain that make you want to drink more, also works for opiates as well. My sister has just started on it, along with a few other lifestyle changes and it seems to be a major improvement. She's said it's lessened her desire to drink a lot, not completely but says it's a lot easier to control now. Good luck fellas!

My friend said she had something like that and she's a heroin and whatever the hell else she could get addict. she lied that she was on it or it didnt work.i asked my doctor about it and didn't suggest it.just what I know

My cousin used this book and has been sober for 3 months, said it saved him, and highly recommended it. He said a lot of famous people used it too.
