I quit about fifteen years ago

I had just got married and figured the way I like to drink was just not compatible with having a family

and if I drank one or two or three beers, it just made me sleepy and want to take a nap. Its that fifth or sixth beer that wakes you back up

so I figured if I couldn't drink fifteen beers I didn't want just one and gave it up completely


now if I could just give up crack and heroin

I don't do alcohol or drugs but, I sure wouldn't pass up a hot, smokin' crack!:angel:

Thank you all for your kind words. Its amazing how people want to support me in this. Even my old drinking buddies are glad to see me sober. And I haven't gone to one AA meeting. I was court ordered to go when I got my first d.u.i. back in 1996. Those meetings were depressing, listening to people talk about how alcohol destroyed their lives just made me want to go home and get drunk. But I know people who have been sober for many years and they credit AA for their success. So I think if your struggling with it AA might be a good resource.
