Sober, Drink, or Drunk ? Just curious... This year will be my 12th year of sobriety from booze, beers, or any alcoholic beverage for that matter. So I'm a sober drunk. "thumbsup" |
It's been almost 3 years dry for me. I quit the day me and Lacey found out Marley was on the way! So its been 2 years and 11 months. I was a very heavy, daily drinker. We lived upstairs from a bar downtown and Lacey was/is a bartender! So drinking was just a part of life for us. But being a daddy is more important to me than drinking.;-) |
Way cool, congrats bro !!! For all the right reasons too. "thumbsup" |
Used to love to get some drinks in me... My Diabetes has put a stop to drinking for me. I still do get a laugh out of some of my drinking friends. :mrgreen: |
I used to drink more heavily, but now, I prefer to just have a beer or two. In the winter, I like a shot of bourbon when I come in out of the cold. On a rare occaision, I'll drink a 6 pack or more, but only around close friends and if somebody else is going to drive. I've probably only done that 4 or 5 times in the past year...if that. Drinking just isn't a high priority any more. |
Having 2 kids makes me want to drink more then I actually do....:mrgreen: It takes me a week or 2, sometimes 3, to finish a 12 pack... |
I was a heavy drinker in my 20's, you know hanging with buddies, or going to clubs. I did most of my drinkin on the weekends. when the bell rung at work on Fri till Sunday night, and on Wednesday night "drink or drown" I had a alcoholic beverage in my hand (sometimes two).:mrgreen: When we went to the beach i stayed drunk the whole time.:ror: Now days, I have one every once in a while. I have actually had beer so long that I have thrown them away unopened.:mrgreen::oops: |
I used to drink quite a bit more (like 4 beers HAHA) but now I dont see the point or want to waste my money on it. Ill also only drink if Im with others. |
2006: Went to Moab, partied all night, woke up drunk, and won the Nats. :lol: Haven't been like that since. Still have a few here and there, but nothing to the point of getting lit like I was then. |
Congrats on the continuing sobriety Crunky. Will you be my friend? |
i spent my 21st bday in prison so when i got out i had a few years that i dont really remember. now i drink 3 beer and im hung over the next morning. |

However, if either one of us is out of town, I might indulge a little bit. Hangovers still suck though so I keep it to a minimum. :ror: |
September 12 this year i will reach my 10th year of being sober"thumbsup", i have not touched a drop since, my wife and kids came after i had stopped drinking and i thank god for it, i was an obnoxious and violent drunk :oops: |
Yeah, I'll drink 2 or 3 occasionally. It's very rare that I'll drink more than that in one day. I have only been out to a bar once to drink. Screw that, too smokey and way too expensive. I much rather sit at home and drink. I consider myself more of a social drinker. |
I don't drink..........anymore. I won't lie, I miss it sometimes. |
drinking in moderation never hurt anyone. on the other hand, some people cant do moderation. (as evidenced by some of the builds on this forum)XD |
Unfortunately my heavy drinking days were when I was 14-15!! Passing out drunk, waking up in the front lawn a few times:ror: That is what happens when you are a freshman playing varsity and hanging out with seniors. I happend to be sick one weekend and missed a party with everyone. Came to school Monday morning and was threatened with suspension and not being able to play sports in the district any longer if I didn't come clean. I had no idea what they were talking about. Come to find out, one of my friends took his mom's keys, went to a local lake and stole the districts boat. They almost capsized it and another friend that was a certified lifeguard, was so drunk he forgot how to swim and almost drowned!!:shock: The principle just assumed I was there because I usually was:twisted: All of them were kicked out of any sports programs and luckily was able to continue going to school and graduate. Since then, drinking stopped being appealing to me. I will have a couple every now and again, but honestly really do not like the taste of alcohol any more. "thumbsup" I will admit, I had a few of the Mikes hard limeade the other day, like drinkin a key lime pie. MMMM:mrgreen: Thanks for listening to my after school special:lmao: |
I've never been a big drinker. I rarely drink, but at the AWCC it's almost guaranteed that I'll be sipping a little. |
awesome stories guys keep em rolling in. the one thing i have to say that sucks about being sober, is the jokes aren't as funny and if you are a true friend... your always the last one home ;-) |

But this is after much drinking in my teenage years: I learned the hard way (but not as hard as some: never was arrested nor crashed my vehicle). Well done with your 12 years, bro. Definitely something to be proud of. |
