I'm constantly amazed when people think I'm joking and I'm not. No worries. Had I noticed to whom you were replying, I would not have misunderstood. I took your suicide comment which I mistakenly thought was to me as a joke, as was my quip about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sober for over two years now. I had the same experiences and desires that you wrote of. Being sober and going out is not as exciting as drinking and going out but I save a lot of money, not to mention I lose a lot less money. I'm not worried, since I no longer drink, but if I diid drink... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaggerLee Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 My recent reason for abstaining from drink is different than in the past. I gained quite a bit of weight from too much beer, a lack of exercise, and taking in 2,000 + calories a day in alcohol. With a bit 'o luck, the motivation to return to my slender shape will be stronger than my cravings for alcohol. :: I am exercising more, trying to shape up and slim down, and hopefully remain on the straight and narrow.

Roger_Baby Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 The wieght loss is probably the best benefit. The girls prefer slim guys. Not to mention the cardio vascular benefits for going the distance for the younger ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USVirgin Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 I'm constantly amazed when people think I'm joking and I'm not. You recommended that the guy either take a certain action, or "kill himself". By calling you a "smart arse", Carew66 was giving you the benefit of the doubt. Who'd have thought you were a sociopath? Not being a doctor, I don't know what your problem is. I can only confirm that you are posting like a complete asshole! :: PS. I enjoy abusing alcohol myself. PPS. Not people though, especiallly women. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buddha Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 Not an alcoholic, but desperately addicted to nicotine, had to draw a line in the sand and give up the booze because one drink seems to equal an unyielding craving for a butt. I can go weeks without smoking and not miss it. As soon as I have one drink in me I start making excuses for a smoke. No more drink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 Getting drunk drove me agressive and rather sad in my earlier years but now mostly loving it. Unfortunately not very good for work and waistline so need to keep it under control. Went to the pub (La brasserie actually :: ) this evening and was way drunk after 3 Carolus... sure it means going through a low booze season... People do ravage themselves with acohol though, some very sad cases around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
