    I guess it depends on the definition but let's just say that I enjoyed my fair share.

    Congrats LB.

    Glad that you had no problem quitting cigarettes...you are fortunate in that respect.
    Also, 2 months without a drink is a significant milestone.

    I quit smoking and drinking several years ago.
    Quitting smoking was a bitch.
    Quitting drinking was a bitch.
    Blow was tough but having my heart bouncing off of my ribs
    every day gave me initiative.

    Quit smoking about 10 years ago. Still puff weed everyday though.

    Don't drink nearly as much as I used to. Get real drunk about twice a year. It's a good reminder why I don't drink a lot anymore.

    Agreed but only NFL will tell the tale but I usually bet in the morning and I guess being cleaned out makes me doubt things because when I drank the next day's game were often bet on mentally the night before when buzzing.


    Now pass 3 months BTW. Have had cravings though.

    It takes 3-6 months to get all the booze out the body (American Medical Association Review). Only then a guy will feel the true health effects...

    You have no idea how many people I know that drink a lot just because they're bored. When you're thinking about relapsing, just find something to fill up that time. Seriously, with some people, it's that easy.
