Stopping drinking

Frang · October 10, 2019

I went dry whilst I raced motocross from 2005 to about 2009...

It was very hard going and it didn't make me any happier than I am now.

I don't think it's the same for everyone, for some alcohol is there nemisis, for others they can just do without completely, for me I enjoy the social aspect as much as the drink, and I find myself laughing and enjoying life alot more whilst having a beer.. I could never see me depriving myself of it again, when it's so enjoyable

Bit odd that you keep use it as an excuse for getting banned then.

I could never see how depraved I was, when it's so enjoyable

Can't imagine not filling your boots when all inclusive.

Both.

Before I retired I was in the MN on a tanker working 8 weeks on 8 weeks off. The 8 weeks on were strictly no alcohol and I didn't miss it. The 8 weeks home I could take it or leave it. When I first went to sea in 1967 drinking was part of the job, but times and attitudes have changed, probably for the better. I could go on but I'm missing valuable drinking time :pint2:
