Cool to hear other succes stories, here's my own. Since I started with pd I've had a few things on my list that needed improvement and I worked on each of those points but drinking was difficult for me to give up. Not because I canīt quit but because of my social life, everyone I know drinks and most of them a lot. Since januari I quit smoking, caffeine and sodo. I became a vegetarian and started excercising. All of these things were easy to do. I quit smoking with the book of Allen Carr and he has a book about quiting with drinking too. I read the book and knew I wanted to quit but still didn't took the step. But what did change was that I was drinking more consiously and didn't get any satisfaction out of drinking anymore now I know the truth about drinking. On august 14th was the last evening I drank, but it took me till august 26 to decide that I would quit forever. I've had a few parties, and other activities since then and could quit easy although I still get a lot of strange looks from my friends. I can talks about more interesting things with other people but once everybody get's drunk the fun is over with all those zombies. I'm really glad I quit, I was drinking more and more over the years and don't want to know where I would have ended if I did not quit. I'm looking forward to making new friends and searching new activities that don't include drinking. I also look forward to the advantages that not drinking will bring me, no more hangovers and saving money starts right away but I'm interested in the longterm advantages. |

For now, giving up movies for a while seems to help me much much more than giving up alcohol, cause alcohol doesn't seem to have any negative effect on me.
