Nearly 3 years

[Amos Hames 2]

Almost 3 years without any Alcahol. Proud of myself. I had to let it go. It was killing me. I was spirling out of control. Went Cold Turkey for two weeks and a lot of therepy. My vice now is too much Decaff Tea or No Sugar soft drink. I know it's not really a interesting topic just wanted to put it out there as this is part of the reason I was off the forum for a long period.

Congratulations and well done mate! The soda (here called Diet Coke) is very tough to break.

I'm with you all the way, I gave up alcohol many years ago, replaced it with my love for various teas. Well done my friend

You should be rightly proud Amos, interestingly a very old friend told me today his son who's only in his mid 20's has just come out of residential rehab this morning. We have to remember what may seem like a harmless tipple to many can be an awful addiction to others.

As well as being healthier both physically and mentally bet you're saving an absolute fortune not having to pay for drink. Really hope you can use it to treat yourself to a trip to Holmfirth sometime. A very well done That Man!!!!

I think with many of these legal habits which are not that healthy , drink, smoking, junk food etc, it can creep up on you and before you know it you're hooked, it seems it can even apply to Mac Burgers which it seems have so many additives they can quickly become addictive and a way of life to folk and families, in the past I have worked with chaps who must have a Mac breakfast and mid day Mac lunch or they cannot function.

So very well done Amos, I have been lucky that alcohol has never been very attractive to me, I recall going to the doctors for annual checkups, they would ask how much alcohol I consumed in a week, I said nil, they then questioned that, well you must consume some, so then I would reply okay I might have a pint, then pause, in a year

You are to be commended and congratulated Amos what an achievement ! I am so pleased for you and that you have the strength to continue without alcohol for such a prolonged period of time .
