I found out I was allergic to alcohol. Every time I would drink, I would breakout in handcuffs.😄
“Sobriety gave me everything alcoholism promised me” -unknown
Yes I gave up drugs and alcohol after I had an epiphany 40 years ago. Those things created problems and solved nothing.
Yep
I guess Im kind of off topic but do anybody know of a good site to stream new tv shows online?
@Kenneth Emmanuel Lately I have been using FlixZone. Just search on google for it =)
@Kenneth Emmanuel Try FlixZone. You can find it by googling :)
11,765 days with out a drink. Just means that l can afford more guns, ammo and knives these days :)

Congrats on over 11k days Thomas D. Great stuff.
How many years?
@@mrhamsam243 30 years approx
@@mrhamsam243 33 year in January. Alcoholism runs in my family. lt was either get sober or die, so l chose to live. Life has been good and l have very few complaints :)
Four weeks is not a good start- it is a GREAT start Cody. I am proud of your openness and honesty on this. It is inspiring to so many of your viewers.
"You shouldn't be drinking coke!" "Well. Mind your own buisness." I literally laughed out loud. Good one.
If coke helps, it's ok. Just do it moderately.
I know, Pepsi is better...lol.
@@Daves3DProjects I prefer sweet tea to soda, but that's a personal preference. To each their own.
Wranglerstar, I’m fully with you my man... Big Bear too. You both are setting the stage for a new American renaissance. Hang in there man.... abstinence is easier than moderation. I’m five years sober and never looking back... share your struggle, it’s what makes us men.
I can literally feel it in the air, can you?
It takes guts to post this vid. That’s leadership. Steely-eyed and a steadied hand, drinkin’ ice-cold Coke from a can... nothing better after a day on the land. It’s in the air, be well my man.
*share your struggle, it’s what makes us men.* The struggle is real among US all. The end of the struggle is always what you should think about the most.
Knock on wood but half a coffee mug of wine is about all I even want, or like one mikes lemonade. I dont understand how people drink bottles and bottles of anything let alone alcohol
“Big bear” cringe is strong there
I stopped cold turkey meth and alcohol best choice I ever made over 10 years ago and life only gets better.
Good job brother, I had a similiar story but with opiates and alcohol. Doing okay now, but it's still a daily struggle.
I am proud of you for taking your life back. You are a winner .
yeah, watched jessa reed meth pee.... craziest thing i've ever heard
stay away from the meth!

Meth is hard.. struggling now it seems to never stop calling
Currently battling a meth addiction as well
Congratulation brother, good for you(if you want). I have been sober for six and half year. God bless you
Me too! 👍😁
@@TYLERCONSTRUCTION he probably is relying on God. That's the secret to my 10 years.
I swear to God, it's like listening to myself speak about my recent experience with sobriety.
Shouldn't swear to God
Securpussy... go F yourself.
Flap wheat- it’s the same for me except I’ve made it 1 week then drink, then reset to trying again to be better. I’m not a drunk but like Cody have been having positive results of weight loss from my efforts to be a better man.
My single mom drank, my father died of alcoholism, my bros and I got it bad. This helps me keep quitting. Thank you.
E Sahutske Goodjob 👍👍👍
Andrew McGregor thank you, Andrew
E Sahutske You are welcome :)
Please just take it one day at a time
Hang in there buddy
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference. Amen 🙏🏻
Lil- -Mo Godbless you
Amen one day at a time
What a wonderful testimony!!!!
The clarity of mind is priceless.
Thank you for doing this my friend. I was just in Leavenworth 3 weeks ago, and Im 10 years without a drop...that city still gets me. When you can find friendly intimacy new friends and you're 100% sober and bonding, making real friendships...it's the best.
You have become a connoisseur of fine coke. Just don't start snorting it. That wouldn't be pretty.
Just kidding. You should be proud of yourself. It's harder than it looks, and the benefits that come with it are incredible. Thanks for sharing Cody.
How interesting. Drinking Christians. There was a time when we didn't hear of such a thing. But I think those that did were discreet.
What I have always done is, if I am going to drive anywhere at all, I will wait on that drink. I can have it later. Meanwhile, if an officer confronts me, I will not smell like alcohol, at all. I will be pulled over because of my own bad driving. Can't blame it on booze.
And then, when I am home, or at a home and not going to drive, I allow myself one or two beers or glasses of wine. No more. And no hard liquor -- ever.
With these guidelines I avoid excess, avoid trouble, and my driving record remains clean.
And I stick with these limits. It also avoids marital conflict related to alcohol.
Many husbands are in the dog house (dog box) every day. Alcohol control eliminates one source of conflict.
Teetotalling Christians is pretty much a 20th century US thing. Of course the Bible does warn us of being a drunk...I am with you, I make it a practice to NEVER drink when driving. At all. I never really drink away from the house. When I do, usually one or two beers over dinner, my wife drives. I do like my whiskey, but only in moderation. I am that Irish fighting drunk Cody describes when I drink too much of it. And hangovers suck...
@@turnersparadise8368
Good feedback. Thank you.
May this help others to think, and find peace through moderation.
I haven't had a drink in 11 years and I don't miss it. I would suggest you keep it up and stay sober for good.
What's happening with the stump?
Two specialists each gave me three months to live, I told them that wasn't an option. The first thing I did was quit drinking, now 18 years later I'm still going strong and haven't had a drink in that entire time. Keep up the good work.
The man took a drink, and then the drink took the man.
The man took a drink, The drink took a drink, Then the drink took the man,,,,,
7 weeks into quitting here. I feel so much better. Lost 25lbs so far. Its getting easier and easier each day!
I was a completely functional alcoholic for about 10 years straight. I'd drink a case of 24 on a daily basis and nobody knew what I was doing at all. One day I decided enough was enough and quit cold turkey, had a siezure and ended up in the hospital. That was what further cemented the fact I had to stop this right now or I'd end up six feet under real fast.
You had become physically dependent, so quitting was dangerous.
@@cedricbillingsley3960 I totally was. But at the time I was completely ignorant about alcohol dependence. I could have died that day but I had no idea.
Holy -
Jesus bless you
24 a day!
I mean I'm glad you quit but also, that's impressive. Thank God you're alive!
The harder way would have been to cut down day-by-day, week-by-week until you had stopped.
26 years, I've now been free for 8 years, totally functional, one beer was too much, one beer was not enough
I don't know why I watch these videos since I've never drank before 😅. And I hope i never do
Everything in moderation. I guess its my personality type doesn't lend itself to alcoholism. I've gone months without a drink and I can live with or without it. I've been a heavy drinker in the past and I've gone over a year without a drop. Lucky me I guess.
Same here. every now and then Ill drink an alcoholic beverage but definitely not more than once a month, probably closer to a handful of times a year... for me it's a non-issue. Food on the other hand... thats my struggle, especially sweet things.
I wish my family members would stop drinking
I wish that too
And a lot of ppl around me, when you are sober, you see the damage alcohol does more clearly.
Hard enough to change yourself.
Congrats on 1 month. I quit drinking 30 years ago. I found that when I said that I can't drink it drove me nuts. That lasted 7 years with that mind set and one day I couldn't take it any more and went out and got drunk. After that I said to myself that I can have 1 or 2 beers at one time if I really want one. I've been saying that for 23 years and I haven't had a beer and really don't care to. When I think that I can't - it bothers me to the point of having to have one, but if I say that I can if I really want to, I find that I really don't care to. Keep strong - Later
Cody and everyone else that is taking this journey, I pray for all of you. I had to stop due to some health issues not related to drinking but can be made worse by drinking. I have never been a daily drinker but it is still hard to not want to have a drink. Thanks for the extra encouragement Cody. P.S. You are 100% correct about soda in the fountain rarely being as good as out of the can.
Drinking put me in prison for 10 years now sober i love my life now and i appreciate life now
Almost 5 years ago I put my demons away and have never went back.
Improved my life in too many ways to say.
No regrets
Congrats to you
You are not alone
Many people must lose everything before they decided to take their life back but you didn't have to let it go that far.
You are my hero.
I'm a month sober today of alcohol. I've gained weight. I eat ALL the time now. Partially just so my mind is occupied on something other than drinking. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts, it means a lot.
The food part will drop off. Think about getting really involved in one of our favor hobbies or something you've always wanted to get involved in but never did. A friend of mine quit drinking and he got involved in art painting, that took up all the time he used to spend drinking and wasting time drinking. Anyway, good for you brysonl51
Congrats bud. It's a great way to live. Just had 8 years sober last week
Keep going. I like what you said that while you didn't necessarily have a problem, it was something that could become a problem. I decided to get off the garbage truck before it got to the dump 34 years ago when I was 22. I think of all the money I saved over that time! The benefits of not drinking are too numerous to count. You did a great job of listing many in just one month! At the beginning I recall some social awkwardness, but that leaves after a while. It's a no-brainer now. God bless. In Viam Pacis.
I guess im boring. Im 22 and I dont drink, I dont drink soda because I dont like the bubbles.
grape juice, apple juice, ICE TEA, water.
Never done a single drug in my life either.
do magic mushrooms when you are ready. its an eye opener. there really is more going on in our head than at first glance
Good for you. I believe it good for a man to control his desires and urges. It's good practice for all aspects of life.
If your on vacation or even out one night a week, a beer or glass of wine with your meal is fine. Well as long as that doesn’t trigger every day drinking.
Your video helped me stop drinking but I will still consume if the occasion presents itself. Self control; not easy but doable.
Regardless, everyone is different- thank you and good luck.
I drank everyday since I came home from Iraq, I’ve been on this journey with you.I guess I could always justify having a beer or two or ten... first week was hard. Every time I’m home and I feel like I want a beer, I do push-ups + sit-ups. I’m down 16 pounds. I don’t miss stopping projects to waste my life away on the couch pounding beers
I hope you continue with your change. I was a RN for just over 35 years. Mostly ER and ICU. That politician from Washington that said nurses only sit around and play cards all shift, well let me tell you one of the things I had to do when not playing cards. Take babies the size of your daughter or young people like Jack to a morgue refrigerator. Those refrigerators don't look nice like the one in your kitchen. They are crude castings. Heavy. The inside is just a metal tray that slides out. It is cold and wet in there. No nice warm light. No soft pad to put them on. The memory of placing a baby or a child in that thing no one will ever forget. I have done it too many times. Every time a little piece of me died too (hence severe heart disease). Sometimes it was just a unfortunate accident. Too many times the driver was or had been drinking. Usually "only a couple beers". I always wondered if the accident would have occurred if they had not been drinking. Is having a beer or two worth risking a family? Seeing the videos of your great family, never in a million years. You do your best for your family (easily seen on the videos). Perhaps this will be a part of that love you show your family. The scary thing about alcohol is that it can change a person. In very bad ways. And then, it might be too late. This is a wonderful place for me to visit every day. It makes me feel hopeful with all the bad news constantly blaring. Best wishes Ken
Day 4 for me. I'll bet I can count on one hand the days I didn't have a drink in the last year. My wife and I usually have a good thing but whenever there is an argument, alcohol is definitely involved. Tired of making poor decisions; selfish decisions with my time, waking up feeling terrible, overweight and bloated. It's really hard to understand how something this bad can be so hard to get out of your life. I realize that you aren't doing it for the same reasons that I am but it is still very encouraging to hear you discuss it. Thanks, Cody.
Most of us have 1 or 2 or maybe more vices we need to work on. Keep it up Cody...... You are right in making it Your Choice... Good Luck
Really glad to hear it. Proud of you.
I needed to hear this Cody, thank you. You're words are hitting me in the chest as I sit here. Thanks brother! 👍🏻👊🏻
Do it. I did. I feel much better. You will too. I believe in you.
Great video Cody ! I struggle with drinking every day. hopefully soon I can break the chains. Thanks so much for an honest and open conversation.
I have never drunk liquor. I believe the Bible teaches we are not to drink liquor. So it is sinful. The Bible says, “Abstain from all appearance of evil.” 1 Thessalonians 5:22, KJV. Therefore, I do not go to restaurants that serve alcohol. I don't want to be around that crowd, I find intoxicating drinks to be offensive, so I don't want to be around it. I do not want to hurt my Christian testimony by frequenting establishments that obviously sell alcohol. You may think this is nothing to be wary about, but you have probably been a drinker, or are one, so it is not so offensive as it is for someone who has abstained.

"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." Ephesians 2:8-9
“Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.” Romans 3:19-20

Good job cody!!! Keep the faith!! I'll bet you bought that spiffy knife with "not beer" money!!! My father bought a 1957 corvette with his "not beer" money back in 1972.
I've been doing low carb for two years (I'm diabetic) and the hardest thing to give up was beer. I've lost 60 lbs I feel awesome I even have less pain.
Been sober for 32 years. Sobriety is not easy. Make sure you have a support system in place to help.
Always have a pocket full of phone numbers so there is always someone there to talk you down if tempted.
As a side note read the labels on stuff. Alcohol plays a big part of ingreedience in thing like mouth wash vanilla extract cough medicines etc.
Stay strong and keep up the good work.
Good for you! I wished I had seen the light 40 years ago, I'd be in a lot better shape.
Congratulations on your success with your decision to quit drinking. Keep up the good work and keep your eyes focused on Christ like you're doing. I know it's difficult to do sometimes, but don't forget to pray for those that are negative towards you.
It seems like there is always some fad your pursuing. What happened to the one steak meal a day? Its hard to take thses things seriously
I am a 6 pack of 20 oz beers drinker. once every 3 to 4 months. That 6 pack will last 4 to 5 days...The only reason is the taste, when it is ice cold. but now after watching your video I realize I don't need it. Thanks Cody. Keep encouraging people to change for the good. Patrick from Indiana
I drink beer, maybe 2 a day. I have no problem not having a beer. What’s wrong with treating yourself to a beer/drink? I’m a Christian too but I don’t drink to the point of being “buzzed” or worse drunk. I believe moderation is the key to life.
Bet you can't quit drinking for 2 months. I drink far less than you do, maybe 2 beers a month on a good month. A couple ounces of whiskey here and there. I shrugged Cody's challenge off too at first, then I got to thinking about it. I don't need it for anything, right? Then I should have no problem going until Oct. 1. So far no big deal, I don't miss it or crave it. Can you stop for 2 months? Why not save that money. The beer isn't going anywhere.
Tenspeed TheBikeHanger I’m gonna consider it.
I bet I can if I so chose too. "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" Coke is a worse drink nutritionally than a well made brew. Nobody is saying go drink 4-6 beers a night or drink that many Cokes, nonetheless I decided to not have any beers yesterday. I felt fine this morning as I do every morning because I do not drink to excess. I think I will extend that "beer fast" till the 4th. I do plan to celebrate the 4th with a couple of well deserved cold ones and a smoked brisket. Godspeed to all who suffer from addiction, may the Lord quell thirst. God Bless America!
So i made my on workin table on my room its kind of Hard but i made it was some kind of woond workin im 13yrs old boy in Finland and i learn lot of stuff to yoy how to wood work and lot of More i ewen buy my own chainsaw and 4x4diesel pick up truck /car
They call it "spirits" for a reason... evil spirits.
Alcohol was Al kuhl which means body eating spirit it is also the root of ghoul
I belong to a Whisk[e]y group and a BIG part of the community is taking part in the quarterly challenge. It's a health, safety, sanity and financial check up that the hobby is still a hobby and NOT becoming a MASTER, for one week abstain from ALL alcohol to reflect on it's impact on your life. It is easy to fall prey to peer pressure and drink or spend more than you should. All in the group recognize the pit falls and will support anyone needing help. To my brethren.... Stay Magnificent you Bastards!
Thanks for sharing! The struggle for self control will never end.

Good job. Im going on 4months and feeling great. One day at a time my friend.
Hey I'm right at 4 months too!!!
ヘ( ^o^)ノ＼(^_^ )
You're a better man than I Cody...
I have been sober for long swaths of time. Not through particular choice mind you. I just don't want to be drunk, while residing in an RV.
God Bless, man. I know it’s tough - been sober one day at a time myself for a while now. Something that helps me in social situations like that is to say something like, “No thanks, I’m good,” or, “Not today, thanks.” I’ve noticed that drinkers who are drinking seem to become uneasy or something when they see someone without a drink. Sometimes they can get downright pushy about it! So I use those phrases, and I also get some beverage in my hand, whether it’s a coke, or iced tea, or water - I like sparkling water. I mean, I actually like it, and it’s fizzy, so it “looks like a drink,” so it puts the drinkers who want everyone to have a drink, at ease.
Now, coffee? I have no plans to give up my coffee. Don’t fret about the coffee.
But yeah! Congratulations on four weeks of sobriety! That’s awesome!
You will never regret sobriety.
right?
Good video Cody. It's great that you are doing this and sharing your experience with everyone helping them along their way.
I am on day 5 now. My goal is to do Dry July, then 100 days (which will be the longest I've ever been sober in my 11 years of drinking) but I have faith.
I've joined the gym since then and burnt 2000 calories in 2 days 😁 feels so good!
Also, I implore anyone struggling with the demon drink and looking for a very strong support community to check out the r/StopDrinking subreddit. It really helps and gives perspective.
I'm extremely proud of you, diogeneslantern18! What a great goal and that's great about the gym!!! Keep in going.
Thank you for your courage. I quit drinking about 3 weeks ago, and I'm never starting again. Owen got me into it as well, and hearing your "Saying goodbye to an old friend" video cemented it. We're not alone in this fight. Much love from Germany, God bless you and your loved ones!
You need to get the glass bottle cokes from Mexico. They use sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup. Still not good for you but man is it good once in a while
Great job Cody, video brought back memories of my early sobriety,I’ve been doing it 34 years, one day at a time.
Cody, I’m so PROUD of you!👍😃👍 And everyone else that has made the decision to not consume alcohol. I admire President Trump so very much!🙏❤️🙏
Thanks for the update. My Leavenworth moment came after a big road bike with friends yesterday. We went to an excellent brew pub for an after ride dinner. Felt amazing walking out of there without drinking anything. Keep up the good work! It's been a lot of fun taking this challenge with you and others in your fan base.
Im proud of you man!
I quit smoking weed last march and its been a tough journey. Smoked for 15 years at about an ounce every week and a half so it became a huge part of my life and social circles. I know its not alchohol but it most definetly altered my mindset and thinking since i quit.
On the path with you mate!
thank you for sharing your experience. i have smoked for 12 years and am wanting to stop.
what did you fill the time with instead of smoking pot? all the best to you in life
Why was the last video "Close Call Caught On Camera" that yo just premiered less than an hour ago already removed from TH-cam?
Congrats to you. It's not sinful to drink but it is to get drunk (you are not in your right mind when anyone is drunk and again the devil will prey on that) but at the same time any addiction is sinful. Praying the Holy Spirit keeps that demon away. I am fortunate and never really liked drinking. Even in my younger years. I'd only drink because my friends would. But I do have my own struggles and hard ships like everyone else. The devil knows our weaknesses and like the coward he is will exploit your weakness. God bless you brotha. Love your honesty you keep being you. God is working in you and through you
If you actually had to WORK for a living .. what would you do?
If you watch his videos he has talked about a lot of his previous job experience. Construction, heavy equipment operator, firefighter, he ran a business selling Jeep parts...You don't think what he does is work? Maybe not as physical as some jobs, but think of the mental stress of constantly having to come up with content. Of putting your life out there so idiots like you can leave nasty comments. Of having to build this channel from a few subscribers to where it is now. Many try, few actually make it like this. He earns every penny he gets. If you are jealous maybe you should try it.
He works harder than just about anyone. His genius is he does one hell of a job making it seem like he isn't working. That is why the channel has lasted so long and is so popular.
i was a 3 beer a day person, quit for a year. On the 1 year anniversery... I had 2 beers. Felt guilty. Didnt have another for a month. Now once in awhile i have a single beer, never with dinner. No problems... only one.
Thanks for the update. I believe everyone doing this is helping everyone do this... It helps me knowing there are others struggling with this, as I am struggling. Thank you and God bless you and everyone else here.
I have not drunk since 1998 So over 20 years. I do not miss it. Keep going.
I’m doing it with you. I too have noticed an improvement in my sleep. I don’t expect to never have a drink again, but for now I’m choosing not to do it. Please keep us posted.
Congratulations,! AA is the way.
Ironically I was close to dropping you channe, your character was getting a bit much. It made me sad because you are such a good example for my son.
Please keep up the struggle.
One day at a time!
When me and girlfriend said where still going to try to be together with one another I promised her that I would give up drinking it's been over a month and a half or so I didn't have a problem so much I just want to be the best man I can for her.
One day you might find that you have no interest in it, like you have no interest in smoking dried corn silk.
It happened to me. Just one day there it is.
Thanks for the videos.
keep after it Cody;; its been 25 years for me
Thanks for sharing your story! I did 6 days last week then failed on the weekend. Will try again this week, your an inspiration
Nearly fifty years ago, seeing the personality change in a supervisor I admired and respected as he drank and I didn't, convinced me that I did not need alcohol in my life. Over the years I noticed something else. The drinking crowd would disdain those that didn't partake while at the same time, show abject respect for recovering alcoholics. Even at the best, life is full of struggles which are handled best with a clear head. Bravo to you for sharing the struggle while serving as an encouragement to others.
Don’t fall off the wagon you’re liver is thanking you for not drinking.
Ya done good Cody. You were strong in a time of temptation. We’re proud of you!
Treat yourself to a chocolate milk every once and a while, one of my favorites.
Day 28 for me. I was inspired by your actions, Cody.
The first time I stopped boozing was when I learned about sober October from the JRE podcast. Something about doing something in a group makes things easier.
Good job Cody! Great for you. I drink maybe five beers or glasses of wine a year nowadays. 15 years it’s been like this, and for me it’s has to to with that I have to be in control. And health is top notch. Keep it up.
I couldn't imagine life without a cold beer gotta be hard to give it up
Same ways. It's really hard giving it up, especially when you become a completely functional alcoholic like I was.
Thank you for your video! I'm making a 100% commitment... No more alcohol for me! God bless you!
sober since January 17th 2019, best choice I have made. Life changing for sure.
Gratz man! Keep it up!!! When I feel the need for a drink or ten I put my heavy backpack on and take a quick walk, or a run or a ride on my bike. What's your "dope" to lessen the need?
Sten Stensson thanks for the encouragement, Kombucha has been my go to replacement, especially in social situations when having a "drink" in your hand is just as addicting as the drank itself.
37 days of sobriety with you! Stay strong. We are in this with you.
The favor of drinking was something I never really enjoyed. The Cokes in the glass bottle from mainly Mexico with all the true pure sugar cane makes a huge difference. Congrats in your efforts to be healthier.
Restaurants don't set up the fountains. They are leased from Coca Cola or Pepsico, installed, maintained and serviced by their own techs. They even have specific water filtration standards that the establishment must meet in order to ensure as close to consistency as possible from location to location.
Yet they are always way out of calibration on the watered down side. How many times have you gone to a restaraunt and the soda was too syrupy? ;-)
@@turnersparadise8368 Blame Coke or Pepsi for that. No matter how many times We request that they adjust they concentration in our facilities, they insist send a guy out who tinkers about and makes no discernible change. In fact, it can vary between the soda gun and the fountain as well. The gun actually does get "too sweet" complaints whole our fountain "tastes flat". That's all on Pepsi in our case. Either their rules or improperly training their people.
Dude, 30+ days! Congrats Cody! Keep it up.
_Reading the comments and realizing your not alone, that there are a huge number of us going through this too..._
You DO realize that this is the same format of AA and NA., right? One alcoholic/addict helping another alcoholic/addict. Just remember, *you are not alone.*
-Grateful recovering addict
Congrats, it is something to feel proud of.
I used to drink on Friday and Saturday nights when I went out to go juking. Never drank other than that. And never liked beer but I drank whiskey. After I got married at 30 I pretty much didn't drink except maybe one or two on my birthday or something. Until about 15 years ago on my Birthday and my friends kept buying me drinks, I got drunk at on tequila, I had the worst hangover in recorded history of mankind. Never touched it since
As a fellow person of extremes, after studying abroad and drinking whole bottles of vodka in a sitting, I have chosen to stay sober.
When you talk to your rug man you need to get on to his case for putting some strands of gray in there. ;) Been Non-Drinking for 30+ years.
My wife and her family were against drinking so when I met her she asked me to quit and I did. That has been over 30 years now. The drink itself was not tough to stop but those social cues were REALLY TOUGH. I actually had a tougher time with language than drinking. Keep up the great work.
Thanks for sharing your story and being honest. You are impacting (for the good) lots of people by doing this. Others are following your actions.
Put the money you save from not drinking in a jar and get yourself a nice present for Christmas. I have never like the taste of alcohol so I guess I'm lucky. But I have seen friend and family do stupid stuff after "just a couple of beers". Hang tough brother.Gil
Good for you with resisting the urge! Glad I never cared for alcohol. I have been dealing with chronic headaches pretty much every day for over 20 years, most Dr's answers are drugs instead of finding the issue. I have always refused to take narcotics, that has been a disaster to so many people.
