Aha. I see. I am loving my non alcoholism my friend. Maybe I will start drinking heavily when I am retired but for now, I am good and I hope to stay that way.
You really are sober, I thought you were kidding when you said not in consecutive years, I'm not making fun of you, Stokes would, sorry for the misunderstanding
@FJF and @matt robinson 17 What was your biggest issue when you first stopped drinking? I took some time off from work and I also decided to change my social life. I am around friends(Turkish and American) who love to drink. Any social event I was part of kind of pressured me to drink. In the past, I tried not drinking in those events but it really wasn't possible. So I decided not to be part of my social groups anymore. My friends respected that and supported me in my attempt to become sober. But this severely cut my relations with my group of friends. I don't miss alcohol but I miss those get togethers. I miss being part of the happy hours after work. What was your biggest difficulty?
My brother was my biggest problem, Jet games on Sundays, Rangers games all included too much alcohol. My wife couldn't believe I stopped for 8 months
I was kidding, thats the joke. Lets try another one. I stopped drinking for good, now i drink for evil
