One good last drunk....

[Mully]

As some of you may know, I like the drinky...:drinky: Went cold turkey several months back (lasted 2 weeks). I've tried to quit many times since, but no luck. Seem to cap and feel better on the juice. Anyone who as been In my shoes knows this. Seems like I need a special date or something to give it up. Quit smoking the bud on July 4th 11 years ago. Tried the New Years deal (again) no luck. Anyway ,have had a few health problems (nothing major) and a little voice in my head telling me to get it together for quite some time. I guess any day to quit is as good as the next, so.....Gonna try it one more time. I love handicapping and drinking. That's why it's so hard. They go hand and hand (for most) My goal is 1 month....If i make it that far, who knows.... Just had to get it out there. Seems to help if I get it off my chest....Have to do it on my own, if I'm gonna do it at all.

Mully.....not an easy thing to do but alot easier if you really want to as you well know. After all my excuses and etc, I'm glad to say that today Jan 15th is 25 years since I had my last drink. Won't even touch a chocolate with liquor in it for the fear of wanting to go back. I have to say, there's been many, many times that I almost dipped but managed to remind myself of how hard it was getting to where I was and where I am......GL

[Jake DeNiro]

ripken8.....thanks, appreciate it.

Old School thanks also and congrad's to yourself for your 10 year anniversary. Yes, it's good to be alive which I wouldn't be if I didn't quit. I was a real partier and a handful.

:iagree: .....just like anything that is a problem. No matter who tells you or what date's you set, bottom line....YOU HAVE TO WANT TO QUIT!!!!
As Old School said..."one day at a time". Before you know it, it's a year, then 2 etc.

Mully,
You are a young guy and if you are drinking excessively now.......it could get really ugly later!
Coffee/cigarettes, beer/cigarettes, drinking/handicapping etc. (rationalizations??? using one as an excuse to do the other???) Be honest with yourself ...and do what needs to be done. AA is a great program!
Good Luck to you !

Mully, you're a 'capping son-of-a-gun....I hope you can get that monkey off your back and keep 'capping those games for us. It's a bitch, but a strong mind will win....get tough......I know you wouldn't mention this if you truly didn't want to change....DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good Luck....
