I have struggled with alcohol. I was drinking heavily for over a year. I quit for good on Saturday and feel great! It would be nice to have some non drinking friends on here :)

    I haven't quit for good but occasionally I'll do a month just to keep myself in check. Started 30 days on Monday.

    Yes, haven't touched a drop in 12 years. I have watched way to many ruin their lives with over drinking, DWI's, DUI's and loss of employment.

    One (1) social drink per week, and sometimes none. Does that count??

    Yep! I have never really been a drinker I think the last time I had anything was a glass of wine last News Years Eve. It's worth it- I love never waking up with a headache ❤️

    I gained 40 pounds over the last 4 years and drinking was a huge part of it!
    I stopped drinking 12 days ago, because I get horrible anxiety the morning after. I hate myself in the morning, even if I didn't do anything wrong!
    Almost 2 weeks in, I feel great.

    Not tee-total but drink very rarely these days, mostly just special occasions.

    Not totally, I'm still a glass of wine or two on special occasions, but other than that I don't bother.

    6 years! My Son is dying from alcoholism. Just can’t even look at a drink.

    I haven't had a drink in 6 years. It was hard in the beginning, but over time it's great. To wake up fresh, no head aches, no empty calories, no stupid bills.

    Sober almost 2 years! It helps everything. Definitely cool not to have to count those calories too.. the way I drank! <3 happy for you that you made this decision.

    I have not had a drink in what will be 3 years this summer. There are 2 reasons I do not drink anymore,
    1. I don't want to.
    2. I simply can't anymore (I realize now that drinking + moderation will never work for me.)

    Life is better without the alcohol. Not drinking is absolutely one of the best choices I've made in life.
