    I am one. But i havent had anything to drink in about 2 weeks. My new strategy is to drink at certain times of the year for a week or 2 straight. Then go sober for months. i think it will work

          takes some willpower to quit. but if you can make it thru the first 10 days you can build momentum and the cravings get less

            Haven't drank since Tuesday morning.
            -No biggie.
            Only usually drink once a weekend.
            -A healthy amount.
            May have glass of wine during week.
            -Usually turns into finishing the bottle.
            Really is no reason to be an alcoholic.
            -If life sucks so bad you need to drink every single night, just end it, not going to get better.
            Truth.

                      I drink a pint of rum and a 12 pack of beer everyday. I am not an alcoholic. I just like to drink. Last I heard it's better to drink alcohol than smoking cigs or eating all you can eat buffets every day.

                              I usually go months without boozin' and druggin' and then for no reason at all I'll go on a 3 day bender, then I jump back on the wagon for a few months.

                                What do you consider an Alcoholic? I can't go to sleep without having a few beers, a glass or two of wine, or even a mix drink or two.

                                  I have been drinking since I was 16 like that. Too late to change now in my 40's. I am not craving it though. I would rather drink rum and beer than water.

                                    Remember the definition of alcoholism (or any addiction really), continued use in the face of increasing consequences. It's a progressive disease.

                                      Not if you enjoy it smitch like I do. It's not an addiction if you enjoy doing it. Cheers!

                                          I don't know how people turn into alcoholics....I get way too dehydrated from one night of drinking to drink every day, Also hangovers suck bad

                                          I drink only once or twice a week but I drink a shitload when I do and go out with friends.....Not much of a lone drinker

                                          Weed or whatever else much easier to do every day--no hangovers or feeling like shit in the morning

                                              I haven't been drunk in quite some time now, yet I drink often. I usually have 2 rum and cokes a night, or 2 glasses of red wine a night.

                                                I don't have a drinking problem.
                                                I drink I get drunk, pass out, wake up in a puddle of my own urine or vomit.
                                                No problem!

                                                  A couple of beers everyday for me. No hard liquor, even when I'm out. It's the gambling, not the alcohol that controls the mind.

                                                        I've been drinking since Friday night with 4-5 hours sleep. I'm not a big time poster here and admittedly a small time bettor.
                                                        I have been absent from the forums for a few months now & have no reason to lie to strangers.
                                                        I had to go back to work to build a BR. I have since built it up to $3000 and have been betting since the Bowl games started. Ran into a little bit of luck with the Nevada game & several other Bowl games but that has all been negated by the Raptors winning streak.
                                                        I lost what is a HUGE bet for me back in October when I laid over $1000 on the Tigers to win the Series.
                                                        Lately I have invested $50 and have found myself down $100 since the SF Giants bent me over.
                                                        I plan on going a bit of a run after the Bowl game on Monday.

                                                        I figured if I am going to deposit $1000+ and keep a detailed record for the month of January I might as well take the steps necessary to go PRO here and take the humiliation that comes along with posting your picks at SBR!!

                                                        I have existing accounts at Will Hill, 5Dimes, Bodog.ca (can't play @ Bodog.com cause of my location), Bookmaker, Sportsinteraction & Intertops.
                                                        My regular book is Bet 365.

                                                        I have an account at Legendz but have never deposited there.
                                                        I only signed up there so I could enter a March Madness bracket here @ SBR.

                                                        Any advice which site I should use to start my run that complies with the affiliate program they run here at SBR?

                                                        (Requesting insta_ban for anyone who suggests BI!!!!!)

                                                        Keep in mind I am Canadian and will likely dump whatever I deposit! I notice that BETDSI isn't in the list anymore.
                                                        I also will only sign up at a site that accepts *****.
                                                        I don't have a bank and do not use credit.

                                                        I'd like to get this rolling before the Bamma - Irish game but, I am not in EMERGENCY MODE.


                                                        I am not a BOUNUS-HUMPER, because I have generally found that I have to roll over to large of an amount and sometime I like to withdraw after 4-5 big hits in a row.
                                                        Also it has been my philosophy that if you are winning hundreds, you generally don't care about a $50-$60 bonus and if you in a position where you are depending on that $50-$60 you are losing too many bets in the 1st place.

                                                        Either way I have been meaning to do this for a long time & with the Islands catastrophe, I figure what do I have to lose?


                                                        Any help would be greatly appreciated.
