Stopping drinking

Alcohol remains the great solace it has always been to me.

Taken in sufficient quantity I find it blurs the edges of a reality which is often hard to bear.

As Bertolt Brecht declared,

One time there was a child
Which died when one year old
Quite prematurely......so

That was what laid it low.
It never drank, that's clear
And died aged just one year.

Which helps you to assess
Alcohol's harmlessness.

I've done a few months off here and there and found it v helpful - hits the reset button and helps you figure out the good and the bad of the bevvy in your life.

Alcohol free beer is a massive help IME - huge. Stops the habitual, low level boozing that is usually the real problem.

I stopped drinking a few years a go for months and months. Helped to lose weight. But there's nowt better than a beer on a Friday after I get home from a week away at work tbh. Although. I only drink 3-4 beers each week in total anyway.
 

It's a good thing to stop if its affecting your state of mind obviously. I certainly don't miss the 3-4 days of utter depression after getting blind drunk.

And the crippling anxiety - “ the Fear “
It’s a long long time since I’ve been bladdered as I can’t cope with the morning after that turns into all day.

Age plays a big part in it too, as when you’re younger you don’t even think about the following day.
 
Anyone on here done it? How long have you gone without drinking? What's your experience? I realise with our current form now isn't a great time.
Is there a reason for asking ?

I'm currently under the hospital due to my liver being knackered, purely down to the ale.
I'm cutting down on midweek drinking and hope to get it down to reasonable levels.

My issue is that I do enjoy drinking. I drink at home usually and only beers, hugely rare I have a spirit.

Back in the day I'd roll in as the sun was coming up, get about 3 hours sleep and wake up fine. Need about a week to get over drinking 6 beers now I'd reckon haha
