My wife and I are weekend drinkers. Fine without it but we get bored and somebody ends up making a liquor store run. I know this is a slippery slope. I read this thread as a reminder. Yall be blessed and never give up on the goal of living your best life.

Wow we were doing the exact same thing. I just passed six months! I feel better at 37 than I ever have in my life. Congrats to you! 90 days is HUGE! Keep counting and keep it up!I'm on day 92 sober and I gotta admit...
The way you're talking is EXACTLY how I was when I quit. I was a "maintenance drinker". No binges but daily 6 packs of 9% IPAs. I was usually fit and in great shape but the drinking sapped all motivation to go to the gym.
I'm so thankful to be sober!
Your drinking is much worse than you can imagine. Your addict mind is hiding the truth from you. I'm 99% sure you got the 'ism (but it's not my place to tell you that).
Life is so much better sober. It's worth whatever you gotta do to get there.

For anyone who is having trouble quitting I recommend this book. It helped me.
Allen Carr's Quit Drinking Without Willpower
It's $14 on Amazon and takes about three hours.

I was in a really bad place at first when it concerned alcohol. Was drinking damn near every day.
I’m now relegated to every other weekend or at social functions. Like I’ll split a bottle of wine over a weekend or something like that. Much healthier than were I was before.

Oh snap, co-sign! We are definitely soul brothers. I read (well listened to) Allen Carr's The EasyWay To Control Alcohol around my 30th day dry and it completely re-wired my brain for sobriety. I think that was the earlier version of the book you read.
I probably listened to it 5 times over. So much gold in there. Wakes you ALL THE WAY up, if you let it.
Might be time for another listen!

I keep thinking about this. I was in a DARK place LOL. And sometimes 6 wasn't enough. When you drink 10 Bell's Two-Hearteds and are still functioning there is a huge problem.
Drinking is so gross to me now. LOL!

I been struggling more than ever. I tried to quit on October 1 and ended up drinking every single day this month. I killed 9 beers before work this morning and barely got a buzz. fukk waiting until January 1st. I’m trying to shake this addiction before that. It’s like I go a few days with no alcohol and once I finally get a taste, I fall down the rabbit hole all over again.
I'm exactly the same.
