Must start somewhere. Day 9 is better than no days. Your body is already starting to repair itself -

Been a little over a year for me!

I gave it up in November of 24 on the very day I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. I finished my treatments on April 2nd (success it appears I've beaten cancer
) and still haven't had any. I'm really liking life without alcohol. -
A very heartfelt congratulations to you sir on your major accomplishment! Thank you for sharing this.

Same here. I would never have thought that would be true. -

Thank you. I was told mine was a best case scenario as it was caught at the very beginning. Psa levels were high and jumping around. A digital exam and an MRI showed nothing but a biopsy did. 28 radiation treatments later and everything looks great.
No more beer is icing on the cake. Although the 3rd shift being laid off down at the brewery probably disagree. Keep an eye on those psa levels; especially you older guys; it could save your life.

Y'all made me think...been 39 years.Political Correctness'.........defined
"A doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a t-u-r-d by the clean end."

10 beers (maybe) in 37 years.
My Grandma had a beer a day for 100 years. I've heard somewhere that one a day IS good for you.
Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

Nice Jesse. That reminds me, I hadn't even really been keeping track anymore to be honest. Just thought about it last week because my wife mentioned it was almost the 24th/8 years.
Part of me doesn't even want to "keep track" of this anymore, since the desire to drink alcohol isn't something that even remotely comes close to entering my headspace these days.
It just doesn't feel like something I'm actively "doing", so therefore it doesn't feel like some big accomplishment that I need to track.
That being said, I'm of course sincerely thankful for everyone here and elsewhere that has supported me throughout this journey of not drinking alcohol. I also enjoy hearing about other people's experiences with quitting drinking. -
Super awesome Drew, 8 years is excellent
I have one maybe every other month but usually regret it as I just feel terrible the next day lol- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit. -
Congrats my friend. A very noteworthy accomplishment…but I think it’s great that it doesn’t even feel like an accomplishment anymore. Just living your life on your terms.Things work out best for those who make the best of the way things work out.-John Wooden

My wife's grandparents both lived to be close to 100, nobody was really sure exactly how old they were as they came over from Poland w/o birth certs. I only knew them in the late stages of their lives, grandfather drank a quart of PBR every day. While I enjoy a beer now & then I can't imagine drinking every day. The way I feel the next day after having one too many keeps me in check.Yep, my name really is Bob.

Haven't had a sip since a glass of wine on xmas and probably only 8 drinks all last year and today actually boxed up all our booze and I'm giving it all to my best bud. No interest what so ever.
Congrats to everyone's accomplishments and as others have mentioned my is much better without it. -
Great job to those that have achieved!
Absolutely! I have great respect for anybody that can stop a long term habit or dependence on most anything...music being an exception Yep, my name really is Bob.

While I was racing, second term, I was track chaplain. I didn't drink or cuss for four years straight. Talk to talk and walk the walk. Once I was through, I picked them both up but only moderately. That was 17 years ago already. These days, I bought a 12'er of Lonestar on the first. I have 10 beers in the fridge. I have a bottle of Gentleman Jack, but that's used for cooking and for putting in my Copenhagen. When I was youngster in my 20's and 30's, alcohol was just a tool. When I was done, I was done. I count my blessings that I never got addicted.
I do know the addiction is real, I've seen it up close. So for those that have wrestled with it for years, I salute you for your victory. It shows your true character, or as Gunny Highway would say, Improvise, adapt and overcome!!Source: BRP Panasonic UB9000, CDP Emotiva ERC3 - Display: LG OLED EVO 83 C3 - Pre/Pro: Marantz 8802A - Amplification: Emotiva XPA-DR3, XPA-2 x 2, XPA-6, Speakers, Mains/2ch-Focal Kanta No2's, C-LSiM706, S-702F/X, RS-RTiA9's, WS-RTiA9's, FH-RTiA3's, Subs - Epik Empire x 2
