    This was me with beer. Gave it up over 15 years ago, as what was making me feel shitty about it was putting out the recycling bin filled with beer bottles and cans… and realizing just how much money I was spending on something that was doing nothing good for me. Stopped drinking in 2009 and don’t miss it a bit. Saving a lot more money as well…

      Coming up on 1000 days, and yeah, don’t miss it a touch, fuck booze, if anyone out there feels they need to quit, stay strong, it really is better on the other side

        Been sober for 30 years now and in all that time, I’ve felt the same about everything since … I feel like a kid most times and I like doing a million things, watching movies, playing games, going online, reading, working on my shop, motorcycle mechanics, engine mechanics, wood working, building and learning a hundred other things.

        Instead of killing or dulling my senses, I enjoy doing anything and everything at my own pace.
