My last alcoholic drink was 28 September 2019. Quitting was the best thing I ever did 😃

My son just passed away today at 44 from alcoholism. He was a good, sweet soul who battled depression and alcohol for many years. I miss him terribly.

“Your liver only burns off 1 oz of alcohol per hour, I just drank 5 oz of liquor, that means after 1 hour, I’ll still have 5 oz of liquor left in my system.”
Try to convince me he’s drinking water.

[halfeatenbagel.]

Currently 111 days sober. Quit cold turkey and had minor withdrawal symptoms Thank you Jesus

Blew-out my liver from years of drinking.
My belly looked like I was pregnant-- grew really big over 3-days (acites), my legs swelled like elephant legs, and my skin was turning yellow in my face.
Doc's said I almost died in the hospital twice during 8-days of emergency care.
Came an inch close to needing a liver transplant and I still may need one if it goes "south" again.
Have be tested several times a year now, no alcohol at all, medication and a modified diet.
No fun.
It snuck up on me. I had no warning at all until the fast swelling and yellowing.
Be careful.

I drank a number of times in high school just so I would fit in with my peers. I never could control it and would almost always drink too much and make myself sick. When I was 25, I got wasted and extremely sick. Hangover took almost 48 hours to recover from. Promised myself I would never get drunk again after that. 56 now and kept my promise. Haven't been drunk since 1993. In fact, I don't drink period. Can't even remember the last time I had anything alcoholic and have zero desire for it.

I'm reminded of the Chinese saying, "First the man takes a drink, then the drink takes a drink, then the drink takes the man".

I remember few years back after my wife died, I was left alone with 3 kids. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got to alcohol and cigarettes. Not until a friend recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment changed my life for better. I can proudly say i'm totally clean for 6 years and still counting. Always look to nature for solution to tough problems, Shrooms are phenomenal.

Sounds like the liver needs to do better

[oshkoshdom]

Based on this, I should still be drunk from 1979

You take the five shots before you go to your in-laws for holiday dinner, so you’ll be good for the next five hours…
