So I'm going to try...

to quit drinking...It's going to be different being sober. I really hope I don't get too pissy. More then I am already that is. Anyway, anybody ever went through someting like this?

I come from a family of drunks so i've never been much of a drinker. Don't think it'll be hard to quit. Good luck to you though.

I used to drink often when I was in high school w/ my buddies. Then when I was w/ my gf I had too much and did some really dumb things, pissed her off, and caused lots of problems w/ other people too. I basically quit and since then have only had a handful of drinks.

I will help you quit. Simply send me all of your alcohol, that way you can't drink it. Then, send me all of your money so you can't buy any more alcohol. This is my amazing 2-step program to quit drinking. I 100% guarantee it will work, or I will personally issue an apology for it not working. Simply paypal $20 to Wren57@aol.com and I will email you the details of my 2-step program. Thanks, and good luck.

it's all about the willpower man. I never been addicted to alcohol in any way, but i am addicted to nicotine. i've been awake for only 1 hr and i already had 5 smokes. Everytime i tried to quit smoking i went up in the number of smokes a day. And yeah, i got pissy when i tried to quit. i was worse than a woman with pms

I have faith that you can do it Derek! I don't know that I'd ever be able to never drink anything anymore, but there are many nights when I go out with my friends that I don't drink. I also end up driving their cars home, but at least I know we're gettin home safe!!! hehe
