Haha, I hope not. I am just secluding myself from any type of drinking events until I get a good hold on my urges and no longer feel the need to drink.

Weed also helped. :thumbsup

I was kinda kidding, but really, if I had a nickel for every time I said "I will never drink (so much) again" after a bad hangover, I would be retired by now... :1orglaugh

but that was years ago when I partied hard every weekend, it got old as I got older, don't really drink at all now a days, so hopefully you are at the same stage in life yourself... :thumbsup

At least you've taken the biggest, most important step, madrox.

Admitting that you have a problem is the first step to recovery.

Actually you're at the perfect age to quit. In my mid 40's and only drank 8 years of my life as the rest have been sober. I am the local go to guy when it comes to the ease of going sober. The very first thing you do is buy fish oil, Vitamin B, and most important is niacin as you take them everyday no matter what.

Here's the real problem, if you're a medium to heavy drinker in most cases your brain has stop producing the trigger for a dopamine drop because alcohol is doing it for you. Due to this you're creating a mental dependency cycle, well before a physical one.

Meaning, if you've ever met angry sober adults, it's because they can NOT trigger joy, the dopamine trigger failed creating frustration that manifests to anger. Simply put, you can not find joy in anything for a period of time and why people relapse so easy. I only drank 8 years as it took a "few" years to finally enjoy things again until the trigger readjusted.

My personal belief is if you've been a daily or a few times weekly drinker for 20+ years regardless of the hangovers learn to manage your drinking. Why?- quitting is only going to make life miserable as you wait for the trigger to readjust. Due to you drinking for so long, in most cases it never will and you'll relapse making it even worse.

Thanks for the suggestions! Luckily I'm only 27 years old. I don't get angry. Most of my drinking this year was peer pressure, my friends always wanted me to go out with them, well where did they go? Bars... What do you do at bars? Not drink soda. So I had get a beer/mixer to keep people from being pressuring on the situation, then after the first, had to get a second, you know how it goes.

Now I'm not only cutting out the drinking, but the going out to bars and parties, because they're the only reason I have any real urge to drink. :thumbsup
