Who here doesn't drink, I'm on day 4 of soberity!!!

It sucks. I have drank heavily for some years now...I was at a friends house last night who had beers in the fridge, and I swear they were talking to me. I've decided to go balls to the wall, not gonna drink till I'm on vacaction in early august. I start my cycle on june 16th, so I'm going for the gusto on this one!!!

Wish me luck, cause I'm gonna need it!!!

Good idea. I am gonna give it up too. I was a Fri and Sat binge drinker in college, and it carried over a little the last 2 years since I graduated.

The only reason I would drink is to get drunk, I hate the taste of beer and most other types of alcohol, so I could never sit around during the week and throw back a few, so since I don't really like the taste, I'm figuring staying sober on the weekends should be no problem.

Anyway, I want to realize my potential, I will be 24 on June 29, and the next 10 or so years are gonna be the best years of my life as far as training goes, I want to take full advantage of coming into my prime, and not let something as dumb as drinking on a Fri night rob me of who and what I can become.

Another thing is that I live in an old coal mining town in Northeast PA, all people do is drink beer and talk about football. On Fri nights the whole little world here basically shuts down for high school football games (God I love it), but the shitty end is other than that, there's not much to do entertainment-wise but get fucked up. I don't want to be some old guy sitting at a bar bitching about everything under the sun case I am miserable I never made anything of myself, I think I have potential, I've been told I have potential, and being a pretty strong guy isn't good enough for me, being a pretty big guy isn't good enough for me, I want to realize my potential.

I drink a few times a year in the right company. A beer or two, never to get drunk.

Kudos to you pats, and BBBD too! Just don't turn into a "Happy Bobby."

good luck to you

its really tough when all your friends are partying on the wkends & your like "no thanks...just a tonic". I def recomend staying out of bars/ clubs for awhile-- the temptation is way too high!!!

Bro, you are on day 4 of a good life... and listen to me on this - if you have a problem with alcohol get sober and stay sober.

The cycle of getting sober then drinking a little always turns out bad. Stay dry and stay clean - alcohol isn't necessary for a good life.

The big pattern I've seen is that your best shot at getting sober is your first one. Make it work.

3 weeks, basically the time ive been home, cuz being in a frat doesnt really help with not drinking. Im trying to stay sober all summer so i can put on some good weight and lose some bad weight.

both my grandfather and my father had problems with it so I shy away too. I dont think I'm missing much.

Spatts, what the hell is a "Happy Bobby", is that like a gay cop or something? LOL

Sofa, you're definately right about jumping on and off the wagon!! Usually when I quit, it's for a few months, maybe 3 or 4, but once I start again it's bad news. I know I'm gonna drink a little in august and september, there's events coming up that I will drink at, and get super shit faced, but hopefully after that I'll go back to being sober.

Thanks everyone, and best of luck too all too!!!
