    Easy way to control alcohol. Amazing book really as I still haven't touched a drop and confident I never will! Also his stop smoking book worked and haven't smoked in over 15 years.

    Now on day 25. Stopped due to gastric issues (gastritis, ulcers).

    This is my second attempt.

    Lasted almost 6 months the first time due to the same digestive issues and once they cleared up I started drinking again and my health problems returned.

    I haven't gone to any meetings as I don't think they'd be for me but I wouldn't rule it out either.

    Just taking it one day at a time and tbh it's kinda liberating.

    I'm now playing golf and swimming at weekends instead of being in bed hungover.

    I hope it is going ok. You know from last time you can do it. Your mind and body will be all the better for making the change. Keep strong and enjoy the benefits of stopping the booze and ridding yourself of all the time of the worrying and thinking about it.

    Always say it, by far, the best decision i have made as an adult to date.

    pretty sure this is my last attempt to stop, feeling good

    That’s a great place to be. And if you are anything like me you will not have thought it was possible to be so content without alcohol.

    738 days for me, left boards for a good while but always watched this forum.

    I normally got to a year previously but glad to have broke 2 years and heading for a 3rd Xmas.

    I do have the odd non alcoholic drink but even those aren't really appealing anymore. Can't imagine a weekend wasted being hungover anymore or spending a Saturday from 4 or 5 in the pub, seems like a total waste of time now


    Hope all is getting ready for Xmas and not feeling the pressure or urge to drink, you'll feel better and refreshed after Xmas holidays if you avoid it



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,887 ✭✭✭Worztron


    Well done, backwithabang.

    11 months

    wish i'd done it sooner but I suppose I had to have a few failed attempts to figure it out



  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 13,523 Mod ✭✭✭✭JupiterKid


    Passed the 5 years fully sober mark yesterday.

    That's 1,826 days, give or take a day or two.

    4405, or just over 12 years now. It's only ever one day at a time though so kudos to all who are doing their best.


    This is a nice thread to have, hope anyone who sees it gets the encouragement they need.
