I implore you to stop drinking alcohol | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 80267448 United States 08/29/2022 02:41 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Love that pic! So colorful! Quoting: Osmium76 Self Moderation is the difference between knowing how to regulate the following; Proverbs 20:1 - Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise. 1 Timothy 5:23 “Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmities.” :) I totally agree. I only very recently gave up beer because I was NOT moderating properly and losing control. What was 6 beers, because 9 beers a day which for a female is waaaaay too much. It was a very personal decision I made knowing I never wanted to go back to the space I was in, just prior to giving it up. Hitting bottom there's no where left to go, but back up. :RememberwhoUr: Yeah you have to drink more and more. I've been out of control for awhile now. But I am doing my best to skip days and just chill out. Gotta rein it back in...stop saying yes all the time I was abusing it to cope and that is a one way ticket to dependence, which is rampant in my family. My parents warned me endlessly having grown up with alcoholic parents of their own. Thankfully, I stopped before it became a physical dependency and am rolling up on a month clean/sober here shortly. I quit THC the same day for similar reasons. I just wieghed myself and have lost 3 more pounds. 10lbs from my goal weight. Same. Using it to cope. Well glad you are staying strong! |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 47460664 United States 08/29/2022 05:24 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Not everything can be fixed by just quiting alcohol. It may porevenbt some accidents and Sure , some economic issues, but, only if you are poor, and some healt problems if you are sick or weak. But, nothing can be done to fix an allready crooked mind that is allready corrupt, by just quiting alcohol. Many will blame alcohol for all of the bad things some of their own, have done them or to others, but that is just an excuse to justify everything they have done and said their entire life, even before they started drinking. |

The time is soon coming where you will be put through the greatest test of your life. Alcohol is a poison, a weakener, and a depressant. If you can kick the liquid cancer now, then all the better. The time will soon come and you must be ready for what lies ahead. Continuing the downward spiral in that sorcerous beverage can and will only destroy, not only you but those around you. The relationships. The rebuilding of our sickened society. Don't be a part of the problem, become the solution. The mind is a terrible thing to taste. What you drink, will drink you.

Alcohol is very dangerous. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 83451304 I did the same for 40 years (did drink a few beers at Christmas parties though) Kids have their families and 3 years ago reconnected with two old friends. Have a few beers or a few mixed drinks and and don't drive until the next day. Learned to pace myself and when to stop, just like most everything else I do. |

There are 2 exceptions to this, people who literally cannot tolerate alcohol without getting out of control, and people who just never liked drinking. People who go on a crusade against drinking are the most dour, unfun, unfunny people ever. The Greeks drank, the Romans drank, our European ancestors drank. Most people who were cool ever drank. So deal with it. QED. |
