How did u guys slow down/stop drinking? Every morning I say I wont drink, then go to work... During the course of the day all that goes out the window and goin to the bottle shop afterwards sounds more and more like a good idea. Been sayin I'm gonna stop the day after for the last few years at least. Oh well, maybe tomorrow.
I’ve done some really, stupid shit when I drank. People have always told me to grow up and put my skateboard away. Those people are the ones who: got me into the bar scene, influenced me negatively, and made me understand that most, “friendships,” in life are, “acquaintanceships,” at best...I don’t know if that second one is a real word.
Every body is different—mine is better physically and mentally, without alcohol. I’ve been told to take anti-depressants by some bitch whose idea of fun always revolved around drinking. Once I stopped drinking, I’ve been happier and more productive. My increase in seratonin is from getting more physical activity and sleep. I started working out after giving up alcohol. I’ve been skating more and skating bigger shit, even though I’m getting older.
If you want to quit, you probably have to do it in steps. I relapsed recently, but haven’t drank since. I may have subconsciously associated the bad parts of my night with alcohol, which put me back onto my path of not drinking.
Plus, as lame as it sounds, I rather: skate for two hours, go home, smoke more, and play Ocarina of Time. There isn’t the incentive of taking home drunk women anymore, because they tend to annoy me.
I’m not shitting on alcohol. After a pint, my blood circulation is a bit better, and I have better endurance. (I get better blood circulation with weed, as well). Alcohol is just not for me because I don’t have any sense of moderation. If I take too many dabs, the worst thing I can do is eat too much food and pass out...that’s not even a bad thing because I end up lifting more weights.
When I drank too much once, I ended my relationship with the only woman I have ever considered marrying, because I was drunk/horny. She bailed on me to hang out with her friends...they were hanging out with a group of guys. Since I wasn’t thinking I straight, I assumed that she was probably going to fuck someone else. I still don’t know how to feel about this.
edit:
I didn’t mean to make it about me, and was just trying to give an example of a life hammer I pulled when I was drunk.
