I never post, but i just thought id share my experience.
ive been pretty clean of alcohal for the last 4 months. was drinking a 12 pack of naturl ice every night by myself, and then eating everything in sight right after. i got sick of that life. did that for about a year and a half. I was fat, and ifelt like crap every morning. I never thought i would be able to quit. Then i prayed about it with some friends, and slowly but surely, started drinking less, maybe every other day. then after awhile, every 4th day. then once a week. then every 2 weeks. im at the poit now that when i drink, i dont get the same buzz that i used to when i drank daily. and then the next day i feel like HELL and so jittery and irritable. its no longer fun like it used to be, and i like it that way. will i drink in the future? sure, but only socially say at a party or something. and i dont go to many of those , so im ok. also,my gains in the gym have been fantastic, and i have REALLY leaned out BIG BIG time!! now, my progress in the gym and my new look is my "addiction".
